Update: Wow.

So, the day before yesterday my boss' boss called and told me that I needed to make a decision of whether I'm going back to work or not. And, due to lack of financial buffer, I went back yesterday. Things were very tense. I share the end of my boss' desk and he said only one word to me, "Good morning". Everything else was through e-mail. Today my boss' boss walked over and asked if he had a moment. They went to a conference room for a few seconds, my boss came back, packed up his stuff and was escorted out. My (now ex-)boss' boss came back through afterwards and said, "Well, you have your own desk now.", and grinned. Things have been taken care of. Security has been stepped up for the next few weeks. All is much better. But, wow, what a crazy day and last week or two. -Jason ---- My pid is Inigo Montoya. You "killed -9" my parent process. Prepare to vi.

Let's hope that's also his er normal style (?) But stepped-up security is surely in order. Trouble ever is: how long is long enough? It might be nice for someone there to sorta check.. on his progress in finding another gig where, hopefully.. he will act from lesson learned and not.. just fester. Sorry - but that's how it looks from the outside. Ashton

But, the sad part is that just beforehand he had actually started speaking to me again, and he basically explained that he had a dry sense of humor, and that noone really understood him. No apologies, of course. And, then we were interrupted by his boss when he asked to talk to him for a few minutes. The funniest part (yes, I'm sick) is that the big, big boss walked over about an hour later and made a really bad joke of, "Hey, where's [your boss]?" and just chuckled and said, "Yes, I'm going to burn in hell for that one." I was freaking rolling to hear that come from a Senior VP. It was awesome. -Jason ---- My pid is Inigo Montoya. You "killed -9" my parent process. Prepare to vi.

I hope I never have to deal with that kind of thing. I've been involved in instances where people have been escorted off the property and that is always at least uncomfortable even without prior (COUGH) dry humor about firearms. dry humor my ass. Take care in future days, please. French Zombies are zapping me with lasers!
