we're having a meeting in 10 minutes to discuss the for-now fate of those us who remain. i can't decide if we're actually staying employed, or if the supervisors took a lunch break, then decided to do a group lay off instead of talking to us individually. i'm thinking the former. if it is the latter though, should i receive the news calmly, or should i start with the wailing and the clothes rending and the gnashing of teeth before collapsing into a heap on the floor?
