Going through their website and jotting down their favorite buzzwords is good preparation, right???
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
It's fascinating how the knowledge that your job is going away will drain all of your interest in doing any work.
For the months between the announcement of our layoffs and the actual day, our favorite phrase anytime we slacked a bit was, "What are they gonna do - Fire us?" Lessens the pain when you can embrace the snark.
Which reminds me I ran into a former co-worker on Sat who said they had jobs posted. Gotta remember to wander over there.
Best of ~ma to all the job-seekers.
Spidra, what the hell kind of test takes a day and a half? My temp agencies just made me prove my claimed expert-level in Word, etc.
Was there more? Not sure. Too. Much. Gronk. Must apply caffiene.
Oh yeah, welcome (to new) home, Cass!
and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RAQ!

I doubt it could hurt. And my fingers are crossed for you, Katie!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Happy Day of Raq! I hope it is as fun and interesting and warm as you are!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oh, yay, happy birthday Raq.

I whacked a ball about 150 yards today. And also made the ball into the hole at the green in one stroke.
Sadly not grizzly. Really very boring. I wish I had any enjoyment at all for sports.

Happy Birthday, Raq!!!
Interview~ma, Katie. Knock 'em dead. Or, at least, wow them until they swoon a little. Dead is bad, they can't hire you.
Nora, so very jealous of your ale tale! I seriously need to make a trip over one of these years.

Job ~ma all around. My DH still hasn't quite settled on what he'll be doing. He'd like to continue to work on one project as a consultant, and w/r/t another project the boss-man would like him to stay because he's feeling like my DH is leaving him in the lurch. Regardless, I suspect a 50% cut in income, if not more. ::kisses cheap, good health/dental/vision benefits that I get from the U for both of us::
What I've done this morning:
- I finished typing up the meeting minutes from last week.
- I arranged for catering for next week's meeting.
- I bought F2F swag, which was the most fun.
- I stopped myself from buying more yoga pants, even though I really, really want them and stared at the sale pages a long time.
I'm undecided about what to do next. My "To Do" list is a very dull read right now.
