That's the second quake in the last week.

Tonight's lasted about a half a minute, but it wasn't as violent as the last one. The cats couldn't even be bothered to get upset.

In other news, I'm definitely looking forward to Friday. A chance to unwind and gossip about how bad the company is. Which is not to say I would normally do such things, but we are spammer-friendly, so I think management deserves some nice behind the scenes ass-kicking.

Some of us have made protests, and a colleague even quit - until they begged him to come back because they need him so badly. But they so far have only reassured us that they will be doing what they can to fix the problem.

Having a little bit of experience with management, I know what that means. It means the same thing as when Bush says he will investigate why Katrina was such a disaster, or why Plame's name started a blame game, or why many major Republican leaders are under investigation, or... Well, you get the picture. They are hoping we will go along with the transparent ruse and pretend that everything is hunky dory.

I'm not rushing out to look for the next job. I have responsibilities, plus I'm not in a hurry to leave my new friends. But this situation will eventually be resolved one way or another. *sigh*
