Chaos is a Ladder

A corporate one.

Now I can’t go into detail about my work on this website, suffice to say that vocational scythes have been lopping off heads all around me which has made for a few unnerving business days.

Good morning. I’m Bill from Human Reap-I mean, Resources. May I speak to you in the conference room, please?

Obviously I’m still employed and still doing my thing (otherwise I wouldn’t be so cagey about it), but rumor ’round the campfire is there are more changes/layoffs ahead, and now really ain’t the time to be an out-of-work remote employee. I know we’re not the only company going through these RIFs. (Reduction In Force.)
Zooming out, I actually think we’re on the precipice of a significant economic downturn, primarily attributable to erratic administrative behavior at a national level that’s causing market instability. We’ll see once the unemployment numbers for Q1 are released. Hopefully I’m wrong about that.

However the little tinfoil hat devil on my shoulder keeps whispering that torpedoing the market is the point of it all, so as to engender another massive wealth transfer up to the 1% when stocks go on sale.

In cheerier news, the weather has indeed been warmer up here the past couple days. So much so that one of our new girls has finally done some work.

Looking forward to filling these racks up again.

At this point it’s like they’re squeezing out little round dollar bills into the nest box every morning.

And speaking of unappetizing, there were Play-Doh shenanigans happening in the dining room this afternoon.

First there was some lighthearted snipping of vermillion Play-Doh turds.

However, soon one color was not enough and electric shamrock arrived to the Play-Doh party.

Yes. That’s fine. Just keep it over there.
No, no… That’s getting awfully close.
Oh dear God, no.

And so now you’re all aware.
Mixing of Play-Doh colors absolutely turns me inside out.

Horrific.

Okay, see you tomorrow.
