| ______________________________________ [Nov 14,2005 9:15am - the_reverend ""] yeah, my computer's sucking cause everyone's doing the same thing that I am. sucks cause I'm trying to do a yum update on a server and it's freaking slow. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 14,2005 9:16am - DreamingInExile ""] wow... let's hope that they don't start laying people off because of this... |
| ______________________________ [Nov 14,2005 9:16am - BMR ""] Rnadom question Rev, but do you guys lease your computer systems or did you buy them out right? And if it's leased who is the lease through? Wicked random, I know.. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 14,2005 9:30am - succubus ""] if he gets laid off he'll get a nice package and be able to look for a job with a better company that will pay more. I don't think he's worried at all. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 14,2005 9:31am - the_reverend ""] we buy them from Dell. which sort of sucks cause my lappy is 2 1/2 years old and starting to die. they could be doing alot of things... like selling off the company in bits also, the stock will stop trading at the turn over of the new year, I guess. that means that my few thousand stocks will be bought out or something and my few thousand options will be worth nothing. basically this all translates into "no work get's done today". my boss just did a search for the guy's comany that is buying us out and the #1 thing was the world's largest party supply company. |

| ___________________________________ [Nov 14,2005 10:30am - succubus ""] i'm guessing everyone is panicking and selling their stocks? |
| ______________________________ [Nov 14,2005 1:01pm - BSV ""] dude, imagine if you got outsourced to India. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 14,2005 1:08pm - the_reverend ""] the stock went up $2.86 today... I did all the calculations... something like 2000 of my stock are worthless. they other 300+ (*8) are worth about $100 less than what I paid for them.So I'm glad my company held my $$ for a couple years and is forcing me to accept $100 less in the end. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 14,2005 1:15pm - the_reverend ""] I just figured it out. if I wait and sell it in january, I will be up $52.72 (minus a $19.99 fee). ho..ray? |
