Maybe "The Old Ohmstead"? I think they want to be able to realize as much of the charges with respect to termination in Q4. I also think part of the timing was driven by leasing issues for the office being closed. Too many people laid off. WARN Act kicked in, which means that the employer is required to provide 3-months notice. Absent such a requirement, I think an armed escort would have been provided for the whole bunch.

Thanks all. We'll all be ok. We're lucky enough to have shelter, food, clothing, headphones, and a wee bit of booze. Too many people are unable to say that these days. So we'll stay positive and look forward to good things to come. Maybe my wife and brother will open that headphone store I've been talking about...

Muddy Water Blue.

Advised Mrs. Monkey and Brother Monkey (both work at same company) on next steps to take upon announcement that they were laid off and will be out of jobs in 3 months. Gotta love the timing of that announcement: "Happy Holidays...now get the fuck out!"

Nice! Mine are waiting for me at home....

My advice is to try to have as little interaction with UPS as possible. I've found that outside human intervention almost guarantees further fuckups. Or, rather, fuckUPS.

She's awful. In other news, it appears that the Rock Band Wii Bundle is out of stock everywhere (of course). Is this the kind of thing that ebay is useful for, or is it scam-o-rama?

I like most HeadRoom products. Except for the Bithead.

Is that the centerfold?

'stretch, how's the bass on the Ayre?

Now that these things are out of vogue, mine are on their way to me.

'stretch, do you know of any online retailers selling the Naim? I can't find a price.

It will be interesting to see the failure rate of this deep-discounted batch of TF10s.

A bunch of Christmas gifts for family.

I like Chrome, too.

^ Heh, that'll be kind of tough.

And so it begins...

Ah, well done. You will love it.

hmm...refurb.

It appears to be a boat boat.

Grahame, your pics remind me of this:
