layoffma, billytea. I'm glad you're there and not here and don't (I assume) have to worry about losing your insurance five mintues before you have a baby.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The IT guys, as I understand it, are at the ready to shut people out of their computers as their number comes up. (Which I confess I find a little cool, in an A-Team kind of way).
When I got fired they snuck into my office to turn off my computer when I was called into the Weasel!Boss's office. When you make eye contact with the IT people the look like dogs that have shit in the corner.
Obviously, I'm curious to know whether I'll be laid off. I won't be surprised if I am - reasons which ultimately all come back to my boss, who's run the section into the ground lo these last three years. He's also the reason why I think I'd prefer the redundancy. (Although there's also the chance that I keep my job and he loses his, so let's not be hasty.)
Best possible outcome -ma! I hope it's lucrative, involves a lot of free time, a lot of less boss and possibly some echidna skulls. Btw, billytea, where do you keep your echidna skull?

HA! You know that's our family Haggadah. I mean, we have another one as well, but we usually default to Maxwell House.
We use a Haggadah from 1923. It's interesting. Oh, and I didn't make my kugel because my kitchen sink started leaking last night, so I didn't want to make a mess if I couldn't clean it up. Also, discovered (as Hil said earlier) that noodle kugel isn't kosher for Passover. Now, since I emailed my rabbi friend and said "I want to make kugel for passover, do you have a recipe" and he sent me a noodle kugel recipe, I'm justfied in being surprised.
So, when my sink gets fixed, I'll bring it for the final day of Passover.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Shit, the young pitcher for the Angels, Nick Adenhart, who threw against the A's last night was killed in a hit and run accident after the game. Young kid, top prospect, his whole life in front of them. Mini-van ran a red light. So fucking stupid.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Feel better, Barb.
I'm not quite awake enough to say more.

Oh, geez, Hec, that is so not right. My heart goes out to all who loved him.

DavidS beat me to the news. Just heard about it. Crazy! A rookie too. Just as the season starts. It's a tragedy in so many ways.
