Scott loves kitsch, so it doesn't really surprise me that he DID it, but that he thinks people want to hear it.  But I still love a particular period of STP and I always will.

Oh you will score major points with those who do, he's the werewolf hottie on the show.

Did a lot of writing this weekend and I should be brain-dead, but surprisingly no, heh.

Well, today's the day here for a big layoff.  I think I am ok, but I am worried about a couple of my friends.  No matter what happens, I have already given myself the new year's resolution of kicking myself in the ass to find a new job after the holidays.

Our latest manager (who is a decent human being) didn't want anyone on his team sweating, so he pulled us all into a room and told us we were all safe.  He just went up a few notches in my book.  Most managers in this place don't have a pair and would never do that.

worked another 14 hour workday today.

have to wake up early to train another new employee tmr.

haven't even packed up my shit yet for the move. think i'm just gonna give everything except my bed, desk, computer, and clothes to goodwill. easiest solution, can't be bothered doing moving sale, etc.

it's a good time for many changes in my life. what sucks is that i'm working so much, haven't had time to fully enjoy it. oh well... i have plenty of time to later down the line, after this foundation is built.

My lead on our project runs interference for us with everyone all the time; it's amazing and it makes me sad I'll be leaving the project soon.

I hear ya.  The ONLY reason my team doesn't catch a 10th of the bullshit that goes around this place is because of my director.  He tells HR to fuck off religiously when they start nosing around his employees.  If he was gone, I would expect 90% of this team would be out of here within the year.  (The reason we didn't lose anyone in this round of firing was because he told them, "Fuck you.  I fire my people when I need to fire them, not to meet a quota.")

They used to pull that shit with evaluations too (I'm sure some companies still do), it was on a quota system and even if everyone had done well that year, they would still give at least one person a bad review because of the quota.  It happened to me one year and I challenged it, but nothing came of it, of course.  ::)
