Two very important updates on the life of MixedMetaphors.net today.
One, it's my birthay.
Two, I was fired.
Yes, that's right, your read correctly: it's my birthday.
Oh, and also I was fired. Fired because my boss felt my blog was presenting a poor image of the company. No, just kidding. I suppose I should really use the term "laid off" or "downsized" as it turns out the months of stuggling to get resources funded, budgets approved, and project directions determined were signs of an impending office shut down. The entire Austin office is being closed over a period of six months.
As for my feelings about it, my spirits are high. I believe my team is a top notch group and I expect they will all find new jobs easily (if you are looking for some seriously high quality java developers let me know and I'll send some resumes your way). As for me, I have no worries. Let's just say I'm a man with options. Yes, options. This seems like the perfect opportunity to have a bulleted list! But, no, I don't feel like making a list. Suffice it to say I could create a list if I wanted to, a list of: options.
Perhaps MixedMetaphors.net will now go back to clever ramblings about superpowers instead of angered rants about corporate politics. But who knows what will be next? Nobody knows!
Who knows?
THE SHADOW KNOWS...
