Well, the layoffs we were worried about happening in December are happening this week. We're supposed to get emails telling us whether we are staying or going shortly. All I know so far is the General Manager, VP of Finance/Accounting, and VP of Distribution and Facilities are all gone.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

This waiting for the email part is really not fun but I'm sure as hell not going to do any actual work while I wait...

That sounds like a bad idea to deliver news about layoffs. Not that there's a great way, but "sit here and wait for the hammer to fall"...not ideal.

I imagine they meant it to happen faster. I just got the email that I was not laid off and there are more meetings tomorrow. My one long time coworker in the same group also not laid off. I guess I'll find out about everyone else tomorrow.
Still not very motivated to do actual work...

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Well, take that win, I guess.

Oh, yeah, it's a relief but I am still tense AF. We're supposed to do our performance appraisals this week, too, and I never want to do that but really truly very much do not want to right now!

I'm glad you are still there, -t, but that was not awesome... and I read them all in a row just now.

I'm sorry about all the layoffs but glad you still have your job.

Penny has a really really bad UTI. Also has lost 2 lbs since last year and has swollen bleeding gums. So she is getting antibiotics, pain meds, a full, blood work up and she'll need a dental cleaning (I don't do that with my cats) and possibly have some or all of her teeth pulled.
And she has arthritis in her knees and hip. But she purred loudly through the entire vet visit. Loved getting pets from the vet and tech and yowled all the way to the vet and back

Wow, yikes t, but I guess yay still having a job!
Askye glad you were able to get her seen quickly.
I continue to not be able to get on my work VPN for more than about 5 minutes. Very frustrating when I actually DO want to try to get work done!
