Here we go again...

Ok, so work is a being a royal pain in the ass and confounding me once again. I was notified today that one of my former employees (who's recently moved on to another division) is leaving the company, due mainly to some, shall we say, "curious" moves by management. I don't want to get into too much detail here (maybe I'm paranoid?) but needless to say, it seems like there's a slow but steady "housecleaning" going on. Also, another manager was brought on, which is weird. There are 2 divisions in NYC, and I manage one of them. But the other division now has 2 managers. Should I be concerned?

Random Thought

Has anyone else noticed the decline in colored toilet paper in the past few years? I remember when I was a kid, my mom always bought different colors, blue, yellow, pink, etc. Now there's only white. It's a sad day indeed, when toilet paper diversity is dead.

Song of the Day: Precious, by Depeche Mode

This is the first single off the new album, Playing the Angel. Honestly, the first 5 songs on this album are the best. After that, it's all downhill. A few catching hooks or choruses, but nothing that stands out. Still, 5 great songs is still alot better than what you get on most albums these days. My favorite song, however, is Precious, the new single. It would be right at home on their magnum opus, Violator. But it's a great song, and something about the guitar riff at the end really affects me.
