In a cost savings measure, LANS/Bechtel has outsourced it's RIF notification process.

LANL Management! Imagine the look on your beloved employee's face when he or she receives a special letter from Saint Mike! Every letter is personalized with your employee's name, supervisor's name, group, division, chores they do around the lab, accomplishments from their IPO, termination compensation they will receive, and two supervisors who recommended them for this honor. For only $7, Santa will send your special someone a personalized letter, printed on colorful holiday stationery and a bag of reindeer food to help the FBI find your home with their polygraph machines. Each letter that goes to the same address will receive a different letter on different stationery. Mikey's Elves in HR need your help in filling out the questionnaire you will receive upon payment.

Dear Santa Clause -

All I want for Christmas is "ten more years".

Please bring me a good job offer from Google Labs, Yahoo Labs or the CIA's "Future's Lab".

Tell them I don't need a salary increase as long as I can telecommute.

I am a very responsible boy and always do what my boss tells me. I pick up my toys at the end of the day, never forget to enter my time, and eat all of my lunch at the Otowi even when it is not too good.

My sister Nancy is writing her own letter and she is going to tell you she has been good too, but I want you to know that she pokes me and calls me names when our Group Leader is not watching.

You should put depleted uranium in *her* stocking... or maybe some beryllium dust for her to breathe.

Don't believe any of the bad things she is saying about me, cuz she is jealous of my publication record. She wishes she could write gud like me! And especially, it is not true that I stink. I change my socks and underwear every day and take a bath at least twice a week.

Doc, Bobby -

You are tooo funny...

I can't get to your site-meter stats to see if anyone (else) is reading you, but I can't believe how little commentary you get compared to Pinky & Gussie...

I guess folks just need to vent.

But a little more levity (like this) would do me good.

How about some fresh posts here dude?
