Layoffs are closer by the minute

Big lunch today to say goodbye to the last remaining startup founder. (The first two were gone within, I think, a year or so of the acquisition.) Team photo today at three for anyone who feels like showing up for that. I haven't been asked for a status report from last week, nor did my boss bother to call the standard weekly team meeting.

La-la-laaaa. I wish sitting and surfing the web brought more of a sense of accomplishment.

If this finally happens this week, I'm going to miss the post-layoff beer bash. All us peon types have agreed to meet at a local restaurant at 5:30 of the Friday following the layoffs, and by then I'll be in Chicago. I should give someone my proxy for exchanging home phone numbers and such.

This social atmosphere is weird. I've never been through one of these before.

Norway photos sorted

Yesterday I figured out the correct chronological order for all rolls of film developed right after the Norway and Sweden trip. I labeled the back of each photo with a unique roll number and photo number (what can I say, I'm anal) and now I'm ready for albums.

Feels good to have that done.

I did it mainly because I was putting off updating my resume and putting off writing some C4 material to call over Thanksgiving. My, how procrastination can be productive. :-)
