I've been laid off! Woo hoo!
4 other people have also been laid off.
This was part of a measure to "reduce headcount" and I may be rehired in a month or two.
Things being what they are, I will be looking for another job anyway.
This downtime will allow me to clean up the apartment and deal with the rest of Pascal's stuff.
And to reconfigure the apartment's furnishing to a more Zrath-centric paradigm. :)
And to empty out the kitchen to hunt down those $#@%^%#$& 3-inch black roaches I have!
I swear, the damned things are three inches long! And they have wings!
I've killed 4 or 5 over the course of a year, but there's one right now that tasks me.
He tasks me, he tasks ME! And I shall have him!!

Anyway, yeah, we were laid off right before noon. I packed all my stuff while the surviving staff had a
lengthy meeting, then a large group of us and survivors went to lunch together to Bourbon Street Shrimp.
It's a sports bar masquerading as a cajun restaurant. It's not that cajun because I didn't see catfish or
gator tails on the menu. I had a slightly watery shrimp jambalaya, and the shrimps were really tasty.
Cool Manager paid for mine and another laid-offee's lunch, showing once again how cool he is.
We're all gonna keep in touch and pass on any tips we find.
I kinda wish this would have been done on Friday, but, oh well...
C'est la vie.

As you can see, I'm taking this rather well. I figure there's no point in flipping out.
Things will work out. Faith manages. And so on.
I did buy a SuperLotto ticket though, just in case. :D
Big money! Big prizes! I love it!
