So...

My Governor is apparently sending out 20,000 lay-off notices today. I am told agency will get the list this afternoon. I am told that I am not likely to be on it but then there's all that bumping which will rapidly ensue. I am told it won't go into effect until July anyway.

So, I'm not buying plane tickets just yet. But, then again, if I am

Crosses fingers, toes, and eyes for you, legs too.

[amydmartin]

Careful, you'll trip!

[alabastard]

Oh, a Malfoy, even a crosseyed one, is still able to elegantly hop about.

[amydmartin]

I laughed myself silly! Mostly at the brilliant picture this evoked.

I thought I've nevers see the day when layoffs hit the civil service. The problem is the work wont go away. If your upper management said it was likely you are not on the list, you probably are not. Also it depends if they use "logic" to decide who they keep and who goes. Make a mental list of who you might expeect to get it. They may doc folks closer to retirement. I was on a call today, one of teh people who works for AMDOCS (a compnay big floo parsed a bunch of people over to) lost their job.

Interesing Calif is issuing a an amemdment 10? (States rights) to Washington.

[amydmartin]

Logic? Nah, they'll go by senority. And it will take months to work out.

I don't know what an amendment 10 is?

If we're doing it, it's probably ill-advised.

Oh that! Yeah, its weird to be doing that as a liberal state. Traditioanlly that was the battle cry of the anti-civil rights states.

[juniperus]

Well, hell. *hugs and crossed fingers*

[amydmartin]

Yeah? the Malfoys crossed eyes as well! In times of trouble you know who your true friends are.

[juniperus]

Obviously the Malfoys are far less klutzy than my silly fat ass! :P Much time spent with eyes crossed and I'd knock myself out on a doorjamb!

[alabastard]

Eyes, fingers, legs ... it's a gift *preens*

I refuse to cross anything out of sheer contrariness, but I whisper a word to the wind that all works well in your world.
