Well, the other shoe finally dropped today. Michael Wiesner, the "big boss" from BGS headquarters showed up at the San Diego office this morning with two HR people in tow. Dum dum DUM!! They are shutting down the SD office. Glenn got the "Donald," but the rest were offered a menu consisting of layoffs or transfers to Boston. Tasty!! So far, the only ones committing to Boston are the H1b visa holders (who don't have much choice--they are almost like old-fashioned indentured servants.)

Meanwhile, my lunch was nice today. Met Doug at Mimi's. He's been out of work most of the year and a half since we were laid off. But his prospects are looking up in that he might get a job at Northrop Grumman here in San Diego.

NBC finished "Average Joe III: Adam Returns" this week. Pretty much everyone was disappointed Adam chose superficial Samantha and her tutu-clad dog over cute, spunky, wholesome Rachel. Adam proved himself to be just as shallow as Melana and Larissa! I was rooting for Rachel from the start. Judging from the AJ bulleting boards, I wasn't the only one. One viewer wrote "the show should be called 'Average Ho.'" Another said Samantha is Jason, only worse: Jason with a $45 tutu-wearing dog!

Even if they do another of these shows, that's it for me. These people are just too dumb for words...
