Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Well, shit.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Pretty sure my manager got laid off too, though I haven't officially heard, which I doubt anyone saw coming, least of all her.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I swear to god, my second or third thought was, "I don't have to get up for my 7AM meetings Wednesday or Thursday."

That occurred to me right away, but I thought I'd better not bring it up.

Layoffs suck. And they always seem to be handled so badly! Maybe there isn't a good way to do it, but surely there's better than that.

Oh damn, Dana. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope there's some severance and you can find something better soon.

Oh crap, Dana. I'm sorry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That sucks, Dana! But I am glad you are free from those onerous morning calls.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Crap, Dana! I'm sorry. And glad that you're off those calls!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

We hate them Dana.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I swear to god, my second or third thought was, "I don't have to get up for my 7AM meetings Wednesday or Thursday."

That is a quality silver lining to an otherwise shitty situation.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That sucks, Dana.
