Re: previous post. Things are about as wonderful and sunny and flowers-like as you might imagine. Doomsday? Probably not, but I don't see much good coming from it either. Happily I have options, but I am not going to be pleased to have to exercise them if in fact that's what it comes down to. This isn't news, of course--we've been hearing stuff about this (unofficially) for months. And we won't actually have anything happen for another month, at least. But it is, as Peter Scholtes says, not "growth." It's a takeover, end of story. And it fucking sucks.
