Well that was a fun meeting.

Welcome to the funeral dirge of your working life as you know it right now...

This is what we know:
Funding ends next week
You are now on the redeployment list
There is a corporate mandate to hire inside first (yeah right)

This is what we don't know:
What deferment means in contracts... (it's means we're done)
When notices will go out
What the heck to do with all you people.

Any questions?

and I wonder why my head hurts...

All day I have crafted the applications of I can make bacon, fry it, eat, coat it in chocolate, and sell it to a health conscience vegan. Really - I can just ask me. I mean how the heck to you respond to the comment "must know MS Office Applications". I do? What else do they want and how freaking hard is it to get this job is a mandatory qualification is know how to work the word processor and spreadsheet that everyone in IT can manage. Really cupcake?

So I craft words and wisdom and hope and pray that some poor fool takes pity on me. I really msart and I wurk real hard too...ask me... yeesh.

On the total up side - the guy I love from upper management QA was here today and took us to lunch - to a really great place, the Peking duck was freaking FAB! the other dishes were super fab too - except the fact I wore a green bean down my shirt, luckily I had a back up in the car so that obstacle was overcome ...

The rest of the afternoon was a blur of faces and questions, got hooked up by the great lunch guy and ran with it. I'm so tired I can't stand myself. More later..
