For those of you wondering just what in the hell all this cryptic work shit is all about, it looks like Jen’s employers blew some kind of gasket and started making really stupid decisions about their employees. I got an email from her on monday with the cheerful subject line “I MAY BE GETTING LAID OFF TODAY CALL ME”, and promptly spat my coffee out over the monitor. Jen’s immediate boss resigned after finding that her boss was ‘reassigned’, which is corporate-speak for ‘shoved out of the way so that someone may make a blatant bid for power’. This leaves exactly nobody to deflect the huge shovelfuls of dogshit they throw around in there, so Jen spent the day huddled under her desk waiting for the other shoe to drop and dodging phone calls. Now it’s looking like the rest of her creative group is jumping ship, which is very much bad. After dealing with that junk at work yesterday, then savoring a lovely call with her mother last night, she started mixing greyhounds and didn’t stop until the icemaker was empty. So really, if anybody knows anybody who’s looking for a great, hard-working print designer, let us know.
