My company is having a huge reorg, but I think it's a good thing. For once they will be cutting managers rather than peons! They showed that in 2011, each manager had an average of 4 direct reports (industry standard is 8). In 2012? 3 direct reports! The new CEO was like, "I guess we were going for a 1:1 ratio next year." Hahahahahaha! Anyway I think this will be change for the better. I was really happy with the direction in which he wants to move the company.

Because books.
Thanks, everyone. I just hope I can, you know, do it and not screw up. Everyone there is younger than me by about twenty years, and the guy interviewing me asked "what vertical I was most comfortable writing," and I actually stared at him blankly for a minute.
But I'm pretty good at making stuff up, and I know how to pad anything to get 200 more words into it, so. Wish me luck!
And, yes, much luck to Sparky and Jessica!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Woooo, Amy!
Vertical = content area, no?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ugh, "verticals" is one of my most hated industry jargon terms. It's one of those "let's take a perfectly good adjective and pretend it's a noun that means something else entirely!" things that just gets under my skin in the worst way. But good on you for getting the job!!

I have no idea what that means, either.

Our wings are not tired.
Woo, Amy! And much employment ~ma to those in precarious positions, or between positions.
THIS: "How to deal with a mansplainer starring Hillary Clinton in gifs" [link] is sheer genius frosting to that.
Seriously, watching Clinton deal with these fools was most entertaining. She is such a better woman than I. Rand Paul would be in pain today had I been sitting there.
