Man. Kalshane, that company sucks and blows! I'm so sorry.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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.
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.

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.
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yikes. Let's keep our Buffistini safe out there, okay? Consumer Reports:
Of 12 infant seats we tested, only 2 performed well: the Baby Trend Flex-Loc and the Graco SnugRide with EPS.
Nine infant seats provided poor protection in some or all of our tests, even though they meet the federal safety standard. One seat, the Evenflo Discovery, didn’t even meet that standard. We urge federal officials to order a recall of that seat.
Infant car seats sold in Europe undergo more rigorous testing than do models sold in the U.S. Indeed, when we crash-tested an infant seat we bought in England, it was the best in our tests. An infant seat sold in the U.S. by the same manufacturer failed. (See European models.)
Our findings offer added evidence of problems with LATCH, the federally mandated attachment system for child car seats. Most car seats performed worse with LATCH than with vehicle safety belts. And LATCH attachments aren’t always easy to use.

That sucks moose balls, Kalshane. Much job-ma in your direction.
Baretta. Tony Blake and a cockatoo.
Robert Blake. The irony of him being in that show and having played Perry Smith in IN COLD BLOOD was not lost on me during his trial. "Don't do the crime" indeed.
I'd close a pedant tag, but, well, that never closes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That sucks, Kalshane! Jesus, what a crappy way to handle it.
See now, I told you they were trying to get you to quit by giving you crappier and crappier jobs.
God, they're shitty. And corporate America wonders why their workers aren't loyal anymore.
Welcome to the exciting world of Unemployed With A Baby On The Way. It'll sort out though. There's every chance you'll get a job with a sane company now. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
