It really sucks that you have to wait until Monday to even find out. Either way, good luck on the job search/interviews. Thanks. The more I think about it the less upset I am. I really hate my current job, and the company is floundering. Getting out before they end up changing the severance package...

Blargh...that's tough news...I think I speak for everyone here when I say I hope it works out for you and you're able to step on the faces of your peers-turned-enemies on your way to the top of the heap... Yes, good luck @llipgh2! I have never been in a situation where I've had to worry about layof...

And thanks everyone for you kind words.

Our layoffs always happen on a Monday/Tuesday. It's due to how our fiscal processing is done.

And I am looking, everyone I know is. I know that even if I survive this round, there is no guarantee I will survive the next.

Massive layoffs at my company scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. And I'm extremely concerned for my job, as technology is supposed to be hit hard.

I will get a severance package, but I still hate this.

That Vegas bus thing - as horrendous as it is - seems like an overreach on the charge. I'm not sure there's any way prosecutors can establish that the woman intended for the action of pushing a man off a stationary bus to be fatal. Instead of murder, would it be considered involuntary manslaughter?...

The fact that four officials on the ice missed something so obvious is downright embarrassing. The fact that Toronto can’t call down to the ice and overturn their stupidity is even more embarrassing. That is my problem with the whole thing. You might not be able to review something, but you have th...

At the rate refs are blowing calls, is there even going to be a group that can ref the Finals without a big question mark over their heads?

There doesn't seem to have been as many controversial calls/non calls in the Eastern Conference games.

Also, is it true that while abortions are now illegal, nobody signed on to protect and aide these people when they do have these kids? So they're willing to say, you can't get an abortion, but we won't help you when they're born either? Is that true? I've only been quasi following the abortion news...

Agree with OP and Meow.

Just went to Krueger's Wikipedia page because I thought DD was joking about Southampton. And he wasn't ...

This is a baffling hire.

I'd still be curious to poll 5AF to see how much everyone's paying for internet, TV, etc.

Too much.

I'd like to dump Xfinity, but until ATT Sports Pittsburgh has a streaming app I'm stuck.

Fios is in my building now, and offering a 79.99 deal for 2 years. I may look into that.

Happy B-day MIMH!

I remember Dorf. He also had a string of "Dorf on"... videos you could buy.

Tim Conway passed today. 85. He was Ensign Parker on McHale's Navy . An absolute riot on the Carol Burnett show. And for folks who have young children, he was Barnacle Boy to Ernest Borgnine's Mermaid Man (who he worked with on McHale's Navy) on Spongebob Squarepants. RIP. https://variety.com/2019/f...

"The Sinister Icy Black Hand of Death" is an awesome name for a club.

This is a weird one. Someone in Germany is killing people by using a crossbow.

I have the Complete Works of Calvin and Hobbes set, as well as all the paperback anthologies. Still one of my very favorite strips.

Enjoy autism, Karen!

I'm going to post a daily strip

Found out today my company is providing free MMR booster shots. Given my age (61) and not knowing if I received 1 or 2 doses when I was vaccinated as a child, I decided to take advantage of it. Getting the shot tomorrow.

Doris Day died today. 97.

Bell's Two-Hearted continues to impress, even though it's more mainstream now. So good.

True. I love this beer.

Hell no, Avs all the way.

I don't see pears on the list. Or nectarines. Or grapefruit.

Or cherries! How do you forget cherries! They are awesome.
