Saw a post about a office affair...whered it go? That guy that heads up that office is a mess.

Any word of layoffs coming for B.I.?

it's not in their best short-term interests. if you don't grasp that by now, that the media is controlled and that YOU are sold whatever they believe they can sell.. then you're in far more trouble than anybody else can ever tell.

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year. Your jobs are now secure. Lots of work to keep you all employed. You can breath now!
