If you never hear from me again, here's why

And another one bites the dust.

We have yet another employee gone on long-term sick leave, for an "indeterminate" length of time. I believe the word "indefinite" may have been used, as well.

So that's another 40 hours a week we need to fill in.

I am about to kiss my life goodbye. The few weekends I had free in December are now toast (it's just a matter of time before it'll be official), and it looks as though I'm going to be cancelling about 90% of my social activities for the next four months or so.

On the plus side, I'll be making a lot of money in the next little while. I won't see any of it until January, but that's not the end of the world.

They can't actually change the hiring process. It just takes a long time to get someone top-secret security clearance, and we're losing people faster than we can replace them. Simple math, really.

They're talking stop-gap measures for the time being (maybe getting in someone from Ottawa to help), and with any luck we'll be getting new hires sometime in May.
