it's 3pm on a friday, 1 week from the announced deadline for layoffs.
my manager is out on vacation.
phone rings. caller id says it's my manager's manager, our division VP.
"OH CRAP", i think, "THIS IS IT FOR ME".
i answered, and he wanted to talk about a new, somewhat exciting web service i've created, sort of on a whim, for the company. he has feature requests.
huzzah!
ASK HIM IF YOU CAN GET BACK TO HIM IN TWO. "2". WEEKS!
