I realized that I hadn't ever posted anything about work. Bummer. Or maybe not. It's very twisted, my work.

My original boss left for something stable (and bully on him, because he's got needs -- like wanting a life finally). The boss I was supposed to have (nobody told me I was reporting to him, but he was VP of Engineering, so I figured he was next in chain of command) was laid off today. Oh yeah, he was also a founder of the company. And he's known everyone -- personally -- at work for years. But that doesn't matter. My new boss is taking it all in stride. Which is good since he used to live with my original boss, but is now renting a house from my old boss. If that sounds weird to you I can explain: it's weird. We have more soap opera before 11 am than most companies have all year.

I'm not sure how I'm taking it. I've been there 11 months and we've had 5 rounds of layoffs. I'm amazed I'm still employed. And I'm always wondering how bad it has to get to make me a debit column on a spreadsheet.

Best to have more than one iron in the fire, I think...
