So true as always .... but this time with a painful twist : my girlfriend go downsized last week due to financial crisis and the girlfriend of my best mate yesterday.

I am really wondering this is due to financial crisis or people are just using the reason as an excuse. I know a lot of business who are doing quite well and do not seemed to be impacted by the crisis. Too me, this situation is not too much different from what has been happening through the years : people are being scared by the local authorities in the hope they will follow as sheep and can be intimidated. In the last century it was the vicar and the local baron/mayor. Now, it is the economical crisis they are using.

Keep up the good work, scott.

In 1987, two of us were made redundant the day after Christmas (nice!). This young guy just flipped the boss the bird, said, !$%*! you!", as casual as you'd say "See you later!" and was the out the door. Me, I leaned in close, breathed smoke out my nostrils and intoned,"I'll be back!".

I didn't go back, but his boss, that ordered the firing, was fired at the end of June for fudging the books. Unexpected, but nice.
