Sorely tested

Here's a shot of Potter & Snitch one of the few times you'll catch them together.

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! :)
