Forced Furlough

I had a double feature again on Friday. I think I am going to start calling them "frightful friday" or something. Sure it's nice to pay most of my bills in one day. But OTOH I leave at the crack of dawn and get home past dinner time.
In the morning I started the first phase of a 6 phase project. This large institutional client was having budget problems last year, then one of their cash cows quit on them. When we showed up there was not a single person there, save the security guard.
They are enforcing forced furlough days to save money. Concurrent with this they have just undertaken a 2nd round of layoffs. A little birdie tells me that they are considering a 3rd round of layoffs.
So it's one of those blood on the floor environments. You move Jane and Dick and Harry to the third floor. and Sally and Joe and John go into storage!
Got that all done and swooped off to the city for my 2nd gig. Answering emails for the swell kids at Syncplicity.com check out their website, they have real neat service.
