At A Remove

a surprised antelope
First-ever photograph of a live Abbott's duiker, a type of forest antelope. It's eating a frog.

Today I survived my third surprise round of layoffs at Evolution. It hasn't even been six months since the last one.

It's particularly weird being out of the office when it happens.

The weight may fall heaviest on those who survive the layoff. See: Jerry Harvey in his book, The Abilene Paradox.

Also, um, the company I work for needs a programmer. Anyone canned live on the Westside?
