What kind of severance are you getting, ita?
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Well, crap. I'm sorry, ita. This is not a happy Monday Mystery Meeting.

The status is NOT quo.
I'm sorry to hear that, ita. Go forth and beat the shit out of the job market.
I can't think of a better way to say it, so Ima point at erika and say, "What she said!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks for the sympathy, guys.
I applied for one job, updated my resume on a couple sites, and have some homework to do for my recruiter.
Connie--2 weeks. What's kinda shocking is that that's the maximum standard severance at the company (not that I was paying any attention before). I'm sure the higher management might get golden parachutes, but there's some room between me and them, and two weeks isn't that much money.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Oh, ita, that sucks royally. Good luck with the search.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
So sorry about this, ita. Good luck with the job search.

two weeks isn't that much money
Oh man, ita so sorry. Two weeks is paltry. In our crappy industry it's usually 2 weeks plus a week for every year with the company. I don't advise anyone to go into the shipping industry though, especially where I work...ugh and yek!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Man, two weeks is pathetic!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Aw, crap. I'm sorry to hear that, ita.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Damn, that sucks ita. I'm sorry.
I won't hug you because I don't want to die.
