Unlike Pat's company, who tells their employees weeks in advance that they may or may not get laid off, my company goes for it sniper style. Personally, that's my preference, but it's still not a fun thing. Monday and Tuesday of this week, Special K did just that. Unfortunately, a bunch of my best work friends got the boot. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, I did not. It's been a very strange few days. There is definitely going to be some kind of re-org, and I just want to get it over with. Even more than that, I really just want to get the heck out of there. The only thing I like about that place is the people, and if they're just going to keep getting rid of the fun, then I may as well go get a job with all 50 year olds. (No offense to 50 year olds.)

Not too much else going on. No real news on the house as of recent. We're just getting our mortgage stuff all set. We'll be moving the first two weeks of August. We will be renting a truck and moving all of the big stuff on Saturday, July 31 if everything goes as planned. Park Ave Fest is the first full weekend (Aug 6, 7, & 8), which will really kind of throw a wrench into the works. For those of you who know what Park Ave Fest is all about, and how close we are to Park Ave, you know it's just a lost cause. There will be no moving that weekend. Who's in? We'll have beers, food, and heck, we'll be walking distance to the BOD, so we'll even hand out dollar bills.
