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.
