[Shamelessly stolen from http://www.oddtodd.com/] [1] Through the electronic grapevine (and it's a fairly well connected electronic grape vine down here in Lower Sheol) I heard that my friend Kelly [2] was fired for doing what he was told to do.
Three weeks ago!
Mark [3], Lynn, JeffK and I went to Kelly's to console him and to partake in the ritual Pringles and fudge stripe cook-ays [4] of the suddenly unemployed.
In discussion it came out that a VP (Vice President) is probably protecting his job and using Kelly as a sacraficial goat to appease the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) who is under investigation by the SEC (Securities Exchange Commission) so it might not be a bad thing that Kelly is no longer there. Oh, but what a tangled web corporate politics and accounting weave.
