Work update... sort of

[mousme]

So the Boss!Man convened everyone for a 3:30 department meeting. Everyone except yours truly, who had to stay and mind the phones, of course. Cookie. Crumbles. Etc.

At 3:30 everyone (except me) is in the boardroom. At 3:32, Boss!Man comes out, flashes me a big smile and says: "That's it, I'm going for the day."

Me: "What you're done so soon?"

Boss!Man: *shit-eating grin* "Yeah. I just resigned, so now I'm going home." *laughs*

Me: *grins* "Good to know, [Boss!Man]. Why am I always the last to know these things, anyway?"

Boss-Man: "'Cause you weren't in the board room. See you tomorrow!" *leaves*

Me: "Bye!"



Turns out he wasn't joking. He and another manager, after a serious kerfuffle involving insultingly poor performance reviews from the PTBs, have tendered their resignations, effective March 20th. No one really has any idea what's going on, and no one will tell me what little information there is.

There's a possibility they'll be dismantling our department, but that won't be for a while yet if it does happen. What's for certain is everyone is scrambling like mad scrambling things to get their bearings and figure out what the hell to do about this.

You know what I thought to myself in all of this?

"Damn, but I have good timing!"

You should have taken the afternoon off as an expression of loyalty and solidarity. *snerk*

Totally aside, that "Eep!" icon always cracks me up.

Yes, yes!

Also kinda deflates the terror somewhat.

You have to. You're the drummer. ;)
