Hec, that sucks. Is it possible that they are trying to keep you on for a few more months while the new guy learns the job? What is the timeline you got from your source?
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

[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.

My money's on the lie, Hecubus, bunk. But I'm pulling for the extra ducats. "Everybody lies. Some because they have to, some because they want to, and some for the pure joy of it." Yes, I can quote "A Year On The Killing Streets" more easily than the Bible. Guess I'll never be President.

What is even happening?
If she's really nice, I'm voting that she's out-of-the-loopy, and probably that she's been kept out of the loop, for plausible deniability, in just such a situation. Either that, or the source is wrong.

Yeah. Maybe. I'm bitter and my soul is warped.

Trust my rage
In nice!Boss's situation, the only way I'd be able to lie is if I'd already thought about the situation and had thought through my answer. I'm not saying I would but only that I'd be unable to be so smooth without preparation. I find the whole "we've decided to fire someone (not for cause) but aren't going to tell them for a while" very weird. It would stress me out if I knew about it.

Maybe? I'm disappointed erika, kinda like you'd just indicated there might be no Santa Claus.

Heh, you and me both - I was just idly wondering if Hec's source was trying to get him to do something stupid/burn some bridges for either personal gain or just plain maliciousness. But I'm a tad on the paranoid side myself.

I was with you on that bit, Frank.

It wouldn't surprise me if that's it.

I'm thirty-two. Detective Munch turned 66 this year. I think I should pace myself a little bit.
