Lunch Update: Got the New Mexico Smoked turkey on Ciabatta. gaucamole, mozerralla, smoked jalepenos, & spinach.  did not have them press it in the panini machine.  Warm gauc is not appetizing. Got a cup of chicken with wild rice soup too.  The sandwich is so much better with the peppers in it(last week they were out!).

Sounds good. Surprised they didn't go with some Queso Fresco or something other than mozzarella though.

And did you have a Tecate or Dos Equis Amber to wash it down?


BeerBeerBeerBeer!

Negra Modelo...

'Nuff said.

Gonna be a depressing day around the office. Nine people will get layoff notices today.

I expect I'm okay.  I'm way up the seniority list and my position is financed by licensing fees rather than budget indirects.  But this can morph all kinds of ways, so who knows?

Regardless, still gonna be a depressing day here.

Never a good time Raz, like you said, I hope you are all good. 
We are going through a re-org right now as well, a 10-20% reduction in force is anticipated...very quiet around the office the past few weeks since the announcement.

Like I said, it shouldn't touch me.  It'll be five people from the IT division, all of whom are funded by indirects.  My position is directly funded, and I'm too senior to get bumped by anyone who'll be caught in this.  But that's applying logic to the situation.  I work for state government, and logic doesn't mean shit. 

So, we'll see.  I'm not stressing about it, other than it might impact friends.  I've got a few options if by some crazy cosmic twist it touched me.

I tried to cheer you up earlier, but screwed it up, so here goes again.  Besides, this kind of thing just never gets old.

Yeah, I saw that Yad, and I was trying to think of some smartass quip to respond...but then I had another meeting. 

Meetings done for today.  Now maybe I can get some serious bantering...I mean, "work" in.

Ahhh, sounds good!?! jk

Used to get the premixed bottles of Nesquick Bananna. That was awesome, but probably 1000 calories in a bottle. Ben & Jerry's did me like that with the Chunky Monkey. Stuff is Awesome, but makes the record books for calories. Must be something about banana flavoring... Sheesh

Well, I'm sure that's low-calorie as well. Maybe even Lite.

I think the EPC discount at Atlantic is one of the better ones. @ 15-20%

Now that I said it, I'm sure I'm wrong. haha
