Appreciate all the thoughts and moral support.  Still don't know much.  Meeting was vague.  I still have another "break-out session" in a couple of hours but tons of work to complete in the meantime.  The bottom line so far is that we suck and don't have the skills to support the business in the future.  They will definitely be outsourcing some stuff and bringing in outside help to fill the skills gap but there are no details yet.  Any new hires will not be in NYC.  Other jobs may also move outside NYC.  I'll post again if I process all this and am able to make sense of it.

Sorry to hear this, Tony. Sounds like BS.

Sounds like it was a meeting heavy on the buzzwords.

We might need Tony to do an acronym and buzzword count

Sounds like a good drinking game for after quittin' time.

sounds like they need to cut down on non-productive meetings and trim a tier or two of bosses to me.
but what do I know, I'm retired.

There you go using that common sense.  Just because they are responsible for causing the shit doesn't mean they have to be the ones fired for it.

Cigar Oasis Magna ordered(backordered) and Freud Dado blades ordered...all humi supplies and tools have been purchased...time to roll!

When's the christening party?

Start building on Thursday Oct 2nd around 2:30pm...eta to finish is Saturday at noon

Cripes, take your time why don't you?

They follow different time lines in the Dakotas...

Then we move between time zones to save ourselves more time! FREE TIME!

So do you have some special cigars on order for the christening?  A couple of us picked up some NRs at the Monster this AM....

I grabbed 10

To match your 10 balls?  I need more posts...fuckin 4stars.  Can't believe Tony bent me over like this

It's the ol' apples versus oranges thing - 4 gold stars versus 10 blue balls.

...they're really only yellow....

...with rusty dots...

I could go for a rusty trombone

Damn..that was quite the message to read after returning from lunch!

You could stand to drop a few pounds anyway.

[South Carolina Redfish]

camper is being aired out.
hot Italian sausage on the grill.
crusty Italian bread on the warming rack.

Life is Gooder.

Share a sausage with the landlady, and it will surely be more gooder.

Agreed, she is ready for some vitamin D!

I thought that's what littlefish was offering you...

He only services Daves from what I heard...he services Dave's Shaun 

Be careful there Jackass you could wake up a 3 Yellowstar tomorrow.

Would that require standing...cause if so, I will probably pass...
