MikeNice, sounds like your company is doing the corporate version of the "Prevent Defense."
It's amazing how much time they spend paring down the real work force, yet how many of the bossholes have lost their jobs?
btw, I'm still looking for a job.

We are so top heavy that one department literally has one supervisor level person for every normal worker. They are in the midst of having to reorganize a lot of things because they promoted so many people that they exceeded their need. They were "trying out" some organizational shifts to get a new accreditation. They promoted a ton of people like it was permanent and now they are scrambling to get things straightened out because they took a revenue hit. They were basically robbing Peter to pay Paul and now the extra revenue is gone. So, things are looking dicey.
I hate to hear that you're still searching. I hope something turns up.
Your company sounds like so many others. My last company suffered from this. The organization chart looked like a spoke and wheel, with 12 managers (most without workers) all reporting to the big boss.
I do have a few irons in the fire. A few consulting projects have been nice. I can suppress my gag reflex to "Corp Speak" for the limited time, and the hefty rate. I just need to find a few more of them.
I'm guessing the Powerball thing didn't work out like we all planned.

Just found this in another thread. I applaud this person.

To the politicians:
You think you know how my body feels when I wake up in the morning? You don't. You think you know how much of a change I have undergone since I gave up smoking and started vaping in January of 2009? You don't.
But I do; and nothing you say in a meeting or write on a piece of paper is going to change what I know.
You are also not in control of our bodies. Sure you can all sit around in your offices and pen legislation which will allow or disallow the use of electronic cigarettes in your districts or regions or counties but our bodies are ours and we should, as human beings, be allowed to do with them as we please. If you try to stop us from doing what we feel is the best thing for us, you're wrong. You don't know what is best for us, we do.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Think about those words the next time you sit down to write up some new legislation.
Also, it's time to put an end to this “tobacco product” nonsense. Electronic cigarettes are not “tobacco products”. They are nicotine products. They are fundamentally no different from patches, gums or inhalers. They do not contain tobacco. There is no combustion. Stop it. You look silly when you say “tobacco”.
And lastly : We know who you are. We see what you write. We hear what you say. We know who gives you money. If you start railing against the use of electronic cigarettes, we will research you. If we find out that you are getting contributions from tobacco and pharmaceutical companies, we will dime you out. We will post the proof on every piece of social media imaginable. We will call the papers. We will call the news stations. We will call the radio hosts. We will expose you for who and what you are. Which do you think gets more air time? "E-cigs may be unhealthy" or "Local politician involved in corruption scandal!"? You're going to need to find another way.

To the researchers:
You clearly think we're stupid. You do these “studies” where you give mice and rats and cockroaches insane amounts of nicotine or place them in chambers filled with as much e-cig vapor as an adult human uses in 20 hours. You inject them with bacteria, viruses, carcinogens, poisons other than nicotine (oh, yeah, that's right. We know nicotine is toxic. We've always known. We also know caffeine is toxic. So is potassium. And so is OXYGEN in the right conditions.). You treat these harmless, defenseless animals in a manner in which we vapers would never treat our own bodies and then you stand up, wave your hands like chicken little and scream “THE SKY IS FALLING!!!”. We know better. We're pretty smart and we know what you're up to. We also know who is paying for these tests

Yes, that letter was posted by our friend, Anjaffm. She has played in the number's game a few times.
Here is her post...

She is from Germany, and the vaping world is quite different than in the USA. But we all face the same idiots: the politicians who are ignorant, and the Media, who are ignorant.

The niece is riding along with me so that's awesome to not have to make the trip alone. I love her. She is my mini-me (what's not to love?). We will be going into the springs in Crystal River to see the record number of manatees that have moved into the area this winter. I can't wait!
(Pssst, yo sage,..., . yea you, cumere, listen. Youse might be making a big mistake, my friend. Foist, you tell when you is leavin, den youse making all these sand and heat things. If I was in your flip flops, I'd ease up. Cause dere's like 5 or 6 days left for nature to be a mother all over yo ..... You are kicking a hornet's nest. If dey know dey gots limited opportunity to blizzard, ..., ya know what I mean? And if WV suffers, your friends in da big apple are gonna get slammed. So, dream on of the warmth, the gull calls, banana hammocks, the largest piece of ice in a rum and coke. But, shhhhhh, we don't know nutin, capishe?)
Hiya psyc! I'm doing good. My better half has the flu, hope I don't get it. Every year it's the same, somebody at his office gets sick, and down they all go like dominos......sigh
