I'm sorry, Nora. I hope that he finds something he likes even better, very quickly.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Then again...time to move to San Francisco!
Not in this housing market... Though it is awfully tempting.
He has 3 months severance and has already started the process of looking, and he has a lot of experience and left on good terms (it was economic- the only developers there are the three that have been there longer than Tom- and he's been there almost 10 years- AND 2 of those 3 have the words "Vice President" or CxO in their titles) so it's not a gruesome situation... yet.
Thinks about mortgage. Cries

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Nora, so sorry.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Damn, Nora, that turbo sucks donkey dick.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That's crappy news, Nora. Best job~ma to Tom.

Heh, there is a Cambridge office in Tech Square (which is near where I work). Will add to list of links for Tom to investigate.

cereal to add: Thanks for all the ~ma and good wishes. I know Tom's certainly not the only one around these parts to be affected by the crap-ass economy so really, I just want ~ma for everyone!

Is he all right?
He seems OK. I don't think that this was a surprise to him since the last round of layoffs. The three month severence window sort of seems to insure against instant panic.
We'll see how things go when I get home. I think it will be a hard week.
