It's my last day at Microsoft

Well, I just finished a year at Microsoft. It would have been longer, but they have a nasty rule that requires contractors to take a 100-day break after a year. I was hoping this would turn into a full time telecommuting position, but my boss didn't have the authority to make that happen. Things could still change. If nothing else, a year at Microsoft using some of their latest software build and deployment tools will surely look good on my resume.

Tanya's employer laid off about 100 people

Glenn Walters Nursery laid off about 100 people today, including Tanya. I don't think she's all that upset about it though; the people she worked with weren't a lot of fun to be around.
