May the odds ever be in our favor

We were on another one of our epic conference calls at Bank of No Forks today. Mostly Ava and I don’t pay much attention – especially to these town hall type of calls. Today we screwed around on Pinterest and complained that we were starving and that the call was too long and who were these bozos anyway?

Finally at the end they tossed up the question and answer section. That’s when we always tune in. The questions can either be stuff your sorta interested in or they are so freaking stupid you can’t believe the asker is able to get through the day under their own locomotion.

Today one of our fellow associates stated that everyone was worried about layoffs (Duh!). He stated that it was awfully close to Christmas and that fact really amps up the level of concern. He basically asked if the upper management on the line would just come clean and tell us how many people would be laid off and when.

Oh sure, like they’re going to say there will be 172 of you in the next 37 days.

Then I thought – hey – what if they made a game out of it? Like a combination of Thunderdome and The Hunger Games. Or we could put up the Octagon in the parking lot and just go at it like Ultimate Fighters. 500 employees enter – only 250 leave.

We could get someone really cool to do the theme song like Tina Turner did for Mad Max.

Ava and I are really looking forward to the cool costumes.
