Reduction in force



12/17/08

It's cold and snowy.

I left the cube farm at lunch today. As I was leaving the building, I hit a big patch of ice on the sidewalk. I must have slid for ten feet. All the while flailing my arms and uttering a steady stream of expletives. I didn't crash. I'm glad I didn't land hard and break my tail bone.

In the interim since I last posted, my life has changed a bit...

I got married, bought a house, moved out of the city, moved to the country, went to Vegas for the first time (hated it), rode a mechanical bull, did some fishing, and bought a dog.

The dog is coming from a breeder in Kansas. She's scheduled to arrive on or about 1/7/09. She's half Golden Retriever and half Poodle (the dog, not the breeder). This makes her a Goldendoodle. I've posted pics of her (she's the puppy) as well as a pic of her older brother so you can see what she'll look like when she's grown.

The rumors are flying at work about possible layoffs at the end of the week. They use the much more sterile and clinical term of "reduction in force" or RIF. We'll see what happens. I think I'm safe because I'm not terribly well paid and I'm not one of the "dip-shits".

That's all for now.
