Furlough my ass!

For those attempting to follow the twitter feed here is the back story

my firm hasn't gotten any new work for over a year, plus it didn't help that the two big projects which we were working on had been financed by Lehman brothers and one of which has been shutdown. So a couple of months ago to save money we went to a 4 day work week. Then last week we were told that as of April 1st(tomorrow) we will be put on a 2 week furlough( meaning i don't go to work but i don't get paid either) during which time the principals will try to find work. If we haven't gotten any new projects after two weeks we will go for another 2 weeks. At any time during the furlough if we opt to receive unemployment, and these are the owners word exactly, "We will be laying ourselves off". Since the firm hasn't gotten any relevant work in over a year and I can't go a month without being paid, I have chosen to lay my self off. therefore today is my last day, and i want to share my half witted thoughts with the world via twitter.

...one of the various constiuents...

So My friend Joe has started his new blog and it has inspired me to use this space creatively. I initially set it up just because it is one of the various constituents of the ever expanding Google domain. I will try to update this often, although i cannot make that a promise. Besides no one is reading this anyway.
