Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At lunch, he tells me that they had a meeting, and in a week and a half, one person of his four-person team is getting laid off. So now we get to wait for that.
But they don't know who? That's some kind of bullshit.

I have Open Office and a thumb drive, so I am okay, thanks. (Also, I teach live databases to undergrads, so I have experience with dealing when shit doesn't work at the last minute. I once taught a class how to use L'Annee Philologique when I had a computer but no projector, so I had to describe where to move the mouse and click so they could follow along. Good times.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Right? Apparently they haven't decided. Personally, as much as it sucks, I think I would want to find out that second, rather than waiting a week and a half for the axe to fall.

Maybe they are hoping that 3 members of the team will turn on and kill the fourth, saving them the trouble of an exit interview.
It turns out I have no Gmail, but I do have Google Docs. Okay, then.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
This is exactly why I'm apprehensive regarding my workplace's impending move of email to Gmail.

Absolutely.

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

Zenkitty,
our org moved to gmail. so far so good. I was very trepidatious because I had gigs of email they had to migrate over. no lie. GIGs. But that moved just fine I think.
I stil backed up because I'm paranoid.
