The worst part is informing the 20 people on my team that I've known, depended on and grown with all of these years that we will probably not see each other much anymore (some never again) and that they now have to languish, like myself, in a job market that doesn't need or want anyone.
It's for certain then?

Chico and the Man?

Dang.

Do you know if you are to be absorbed elsewhere in the company or if they're going to let you go?

That is the part that hangs in the balance and is, truth be told, driving me a little bonkers. 'Course, I'm already a little bonkers, so I guess this'll drive me the rest of the way.

I'll work something out. I can always fall back on that mountain of equipment and 100 years of musical schlockery. Gotta be something I can do for chips with that stuff.
Stripper DJ? Nitrous Oxide tester? Ice cube creation? Belly button hole polisher? Twenty dollar bill collector? Masked vigilante?

Have you ever noticed on a box of condoms that it says, "100% Tested"?
That sounds like the perfect job for you, man! If anybody is up to it, you are!

It's an unpaid day off work today for me. Time to go buy petrol and mow the lawn. Whoopee?

It does feel good to be away from work... I have to admit.
