The boom has been lowered....

and it missed me.....for now, at least.

As most of you know by now 18 people in my group here at work were layed off yesterday. This is out of a total of 56 people, so it was a pretty significant chunk. I wasn't one of the ones layed off though I had been offered the option beforehand to "volunteer". Sitting around in the aftermath one almost wonders if I just shouldn't have. It is very strange to talk to some of the folks who were layed off (their layoff date is actually May 2nd and they were given the option to come in and "finish" up things if they wanted and they had a meeting this morning to discuss their benefits during their "layoff" -so many of them have been around today). And it is equally strange to talk to some of the folks who are still here as we try to comprehend both what was said and what wasn't said by the managers here. And, of course, some of the comments that have been released to the press have been dissected looking for "meaning".

Meanwhile, life goes on....and we have to figure out what that means.....
