Why the subject line? Well, I'm up early this AM since my mantra of refusing to live in Dread is what's being sorely tested after having awakened shortly after 5 & couldn't get back to sleep. Andy showed up yesterday noonish. He's been laid off. So I do take encouragement that he's already been contacted by people he's worked with before who've heard of the "blood bath" @ Ramp (they changed their name from Everyzing a few months ago) - his supervisor's boss also got the sack (how many others, I don't know). And that, thanks to the Obama Adminsitration's efforts, he will be eligible for unemployment benefits for a fairly long period of time. My greater concern is that he get his health coverage in place, either with COBRA or through Hancock.
I imagine he'll want to take some time off to recover from the 4-hour round trip commute, which is one thing he won't miss. And he was chafing under his supervisor's micro-managing, so in the end this will probably be a blessing. Oh, _there's_ the silver lining! :)
