Damn it.
Yesterday I emailed out my farewell to the Ottumwa counselors, who'd sent us a card.

Ottumwa!

(Blahblahblah)

PS Although it’s a bit late in the game to send a card of our own, I can offer you this artist’s interpretation of a giant squid battling a whale, which has been the working background of several electronic reports I’ve written over the past few months:




To which I received this reply:

Hi Tim,
The whale and the squid remind me of the agency right now. Not hopeless but not great. Clients are really upset which is understandable.


Well, all right.

. . .

To my great terror, one of the largelarge women here reminded me that tonight is the You Got Laid Off Party! At the House of Bricks, 5 o'clock. Oh, man, I'd conveniently forgotten about this. It's not so much that I abhor the idea of drinking cocktails with my coworkers—or maybe I do—but that I know no one else is going to show up. Not the other researcher, not the transcriptionists, just me and the largelarge lady and the crying woman.

Fuck.
