Hey, MG! Happy new year! How was your vacation?
Oh, hi, Jay. If we had known about it more than thirty seconds in advance, I could have made some kind of plans and maybe gone to see my brother and his kids. But there were no flights by then.
So, you stayed home? At least we had a little extra time for shopping.
Yeah, after Christmas. In the middle of the most internationally depressing post-holiday season in recent history. And with suddenly a quarter less money. I hear some places actually give more money at the end of the year, instead of less. We got, like, a negative bonus. A no-nus.
At least it's a novel concept. The nonus. That could catch on.
Yeah, Jay, we're on the cutting edge. New frontiers in employee dissatisfaction over here.
Shh, they'll adopt that as a slogan. Any joy at all during the forced unpaid time off?
Well, I did sleep til noon everyday. And didn't see a single spreadsheet. And not a low-carb Christmas cookie or blinking sweater in sight. So, actually, I guess it was pretty blissful. And there's my phone and so it ends. Later, Jay.
Bye.
