Happy New Year!

In a not-totally-unexpected development, I and most of my colleagues have been laid off. At least they waited until after Christmas to let us know; the people in the California office weren't so lucky. We work until March 31, and the severance package goes into effect. I haven't looked at the details of the package yet. The envelope is sitting on the counter like a poisonous snake.

Like I said, though...none of us were surprised.
