Today at work
At work yesterday I attended a appointment discussing the turn-key niches. We will have to leverage our mindshare. This week I was briefed that the new strategy is paying off. There will be layoffs. Sigh. I heard from the Consultant yesterday that our web services increased tremendously. The LNE project will be terminated next Tuesday. Why hasn't anyone told me?

We will have to morph our EBITDA for the LNE project. Never mind. Progress is slow, but the LNE people are very cooperative. Rumours say that we don't have a choice. We've been running a pilot for some time now, and it will get official tomorrow, so I was told. They are in debt in the millions. So they change it again. I heard from my supervisor last Wednesday that we will have to productize our systems.

Restating the predictable
Anyone could see this one coming: Woman charged with grand theft for stealing 78 campaign signs, because obviously they're each worth over $38.46.

Ridiculous
This morning Tim took it the wrong way but maybe I was sorry I said it. Tim took it the wrong way and it wasn't very tactful. Now I know why Tim wouldn't even acknowledge my presence and maybe I didn't ask for anything.
I felt that it was almost like what happened to me and Doug all over again but on my own again. Compose myself
Anyway, everything inspires thought and observation. I can't sleep and after just writing that, it becomes clearer.
This wasn't worth it.
My spirit lifted. The past has pretty much slipped away from me but too much whining nullifies my fullfillment. I like being around Tim.
