Exhibit A:

"TRAVEL ACROSS NORTHEAST ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA WILL BE HAZARDOUS. THE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY MORNING RUSH HOURS WILL BE IMPACTED."

Exhibit B:

"Please be advised that we have a meeting tomorrow Friday 1/8/2010 at 8:15 a.m. Please do not be late. Sorry for the short notice."

I would like to draw the attention of the court to the timing of Exhibit B. Though the exact timestamp was omitted from the exhibit I hope the court will trust my honesty in saying that it was sent no more than two hours before the end of workday Thursday, January 7. Also, though no exhibit is available I hope the court will also admit as evidence the fact that there has not been an employee meeting for approximately 8 months, or since the conference room was converted into more cubicles, whichever is more recent. In light of the excerpt provided from Exhibit A, the full text of which was available at the time of dissemination of Exhibit B and for several hours beforehand, I hereby pray that the court will adjudge the defendant guilty of attempted murder or, should a lesser count be necessary, contemptuous employee abuse.

(Man frak guys I was half an hour late today how am I supposed to be 15 minutes early tomorrow? This is the midwest. After December we don't move snow, we just sit around and wait for it to melt or blow away or something.)

There's also the matter of what the meeting is about. When they have meetings on really short notice at my work, it's never good.

Yeah, it's certainly not going to be a cheerful meeting. Especially since we've needed to have one of these meetings for about the last six months, and things have been getting consistently worse. A few people were half-joking that the meeting was about firing all of us and starting over again (and at this point, I might not even mind).

Gotta say, I am trying and failing to see a situation where you a) no longer have your job and b) are able to collect unemployment as anything other than a late Christmas present.

Alas, you are correct. I will be keeping my job, as well as someone else's. ::grumblebittergrumble::
