I'm sorry Kalshane. I hope you find something better than the soul-sucking job from hell's hell soon. Bastards, the lot of 'em.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Thanks, guys.
I'm just glad I hadn't found a house yet. They gave me 9 weeks severance pay and I've got a good bit saved up because of the aforementioned house-hunting, but it still sucks. I figure I'm going to spend this weekend wallowing in misery and start my job hunting in earnest on Monday.
Apparently my boss wasn't even aware this was happening until last night and he's willing to keep an ear out for me and help me with my resume if I need it. It sounded like he had no say in any of it.
It just sucked not being able to say goodbye to any of the people I've worked with for the last 9+ years. I turned in my keys and got escorted straight from HR to my car.

I just got re-orged right out of the company.
Bah, Kalshane. It seemed like they were heading in this direction, what with the whole being so horrible to you that you almost think they WANT you to quit... Ptui. I'm so sorry. I hope that this means that you have time to regroup and find a much, much, better job with saner hours and more understanding management, which will be SO NECESSARY once your little one is born.
But having you come in early and lying to you just sucks. So much a insult + injury thing.

Couldn't they have come to your place of employment at your normal arrival hour and re-orged you?
One would think. I'm guessing they just wanted to get it over with before the meeting about the re-org so they could announce it there. I have no clue if anyone else got the same treatment.

This is good, because a good reference will be important! So, kind of a silver lining.

May every book or webpage your former employers go to only contain Anita Blake sex scenes.
Jesus, Empress! I would have saved that for WeeSisterJay's alleged friend or something. That's some serious smite.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
May the alleged friend of WeeSisterJay suddenly find himself living RL Nixon/Kissenger.

I wish you luck. FYI, I started getting a lot more calls when I put up a functional resume, and I got my current job by responding to a posting on Craigslist. Apparently because I wrote a smashing cover letter.
