Two bits of bad news...

[smeddley]

Economically, LJ may be going down the tubes. If it falls, I worry I'll lose touch with all you great people. :( Sadness.

I'm going gray, which in itself is not the bad news. I really don't care... except my gray patch I found is in a weird place! It's behind my ear, not at the temple or anything. And, the worst part? It's only on the right side. I'm getting old unevenly! Something tells me it's weird I should be most upset about the 'uneven' part, but there you have it.

That's because VW is a gossip rag. Self admitted.

These firings only occurred yesterday. The VW article was posted at 2 am. It's not surprising there is no official announcement on LJ yet. They've just barely managed to whore out the PR about "valued colleagues" "leaving the company" during this "restructuring".

It takes a lot of time to think up that many euphamisms for 'fired'! Seriously, do companies really think they're cushioning the blow? That anyone buys that they're really sorry? (Sure, individuals might be, but honestly, if it's what keeps the business afloat no CEO would think twice or feel bad - especially once you've transitioned from thinking of them as people to classifying them as 'resources')
