Let the cleansing begin

According to the rumor mill.... they're cutting staff here today.

I feel like a fish swiming around in a barrel at the moment.

Hope everyone makes it!

I'm good. Gonna be BUSY AS HELL though for the next few months. Cut our staff but not the work. So we have to pick up the extra. Oh well, I suppose it's better than the alternative. Hope everyone else is still here.

Yes, I do work for an evil empire, not the one in Redmond.

Isn't your soul on it's third mortgage?

Yes, a very generous option package, free beer at work, and we throw some bitchin parties (ask Mudflap)
