We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Well, fuck.

Not out of work yet, but they are closing down this office (along with everywhere else except Europe) and selling the business to an industry partner. Individual meetings throughout the day to discuss our individual fates. (Some redundancies, some kept on in different capacity, some offers to transfer to our new fearless leaders.)

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

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

That sucks, Jessica! I'm crossing my fingers that things will work out for you.

“Not dead yet!”

Oh Jesus, Jess, I'm so sorry and holding onto ~ma that something good will yet come out of it for you.

I feel even worse for our Toronto office, who has today off (Happy fucking Thanksgiving, guys!) and are coming to NY tomorrow to basically be told that they're not going to have jobs anymore. HELLO TIMING CLUSTERFUCK.

The good-bad news is that this whole deal doesn't even take effect for 5 months. Good because that's a long time to look for a new job, bad because we're supposed to carry on "business as usual" during that time. Yeah. Right.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ah, Fuck, Jess. I am so sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ah, Fuck, Jess. I am so sorry.

That's what I was going to say.

Oh, Jess. Dan. I'm so sorry.

Good because that's a long time to look for a new job, bad because we're supposed to carry on "business as usual" during that time. Yeah. Right.

If by "business as usual" they mean frantically trawling monster.com et al I'm sure that's what your office will see.

I'm sorry, Jessica. I hope you end up in a good place at the end of all this.
