Today is full of suck. I think the universe hates us all.

we're currently paying for the prosperity of the last 5 years, or something.

@rwx - I was just thinking that on my way home today.

i think prosperity skipped me and i went straight to suck. :P

i never thought i'd be so happy to be a part-time secretary.

Ugh, I'm very sorry to hear that. I've been there and no doubt will be there again soon. I've never been laid off in an economy that is as craptacular as the current one.

i still don;'t know anybody laid off, but i'm sure i will..

Same company or different companies? I don't have intersection with the folks you speak of on here, I guess.

[rwx.livejournal.com]

different. i think you know some of them but i'll let them speak for themselves.

this is the traditional layoff week for companies trying to put upsides on their bad q1 results, so things may get stupid until 4/1.

It comes to mind that a "Irish Wake" style party would be the way to go about things.
