And The Hits Just Keep on Coming!

As I said to the man earlier, "Whoever said it's location, location, location had never heard of timing, timing, timing." As if the powers that be somehow knew we got an offer on the house this morning - here at work it was just overheard through the
"walls" of Texas Lady's "office" that the entire department would be cut in 8 weeks. They're outsourcing what we do. No announcement has been made to us yet, but we've been expecting this for awhile now so at least no one's in shock. I'm just a contractor, so my departure wouldn't have impacted them too terribly much - another warm body would be brought in to fill my spot and the wheel would keep turning. But now I can avoid the unpleasantries of having to leave of my own accord. Hmm, I wonder when they'll give me the axe.

Hey, by the way - American Idol rejects are deliciously fun to watch. Miss Fire & I both watched them make fools of themselves while seated comfortably on our respective couches in our respective parts of Florida (read: hell) while sipping gin & tonics. Coincidences make life interesting, don't they?
