do not mistake coincidence for fate...
From Wikipedia about Lost, the television show:
After the episode "Numbers" aired, many people used the eponymous figures as lottery entries. According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, within three days, the numbers were tried over 500 times by local players. [16]. Likewise, in the same period, over 200 people in Michigan alone used the sequence for the Mega Millions lottery[17] and by October, thousands had tried them for the multi-state Powerball lottery.[18]
I haven't done it yet, but I'm considering it.
Our hours have been cut at work, and everyone is scrambling madly to find something better. Of course, in a situation like this, rumors are flying wildly, and its either black or white. I mentioned previously, that a number of staff have been let go, and word is, more exits are forthcoming. I still don't know if I'm going to be one of them, or if it will be the whole site.
Either way, I'm just plain tired. Perhaps the best thing would be a layoff. I'd search and land a better job, with better hours and better pay. I'd be better at managing my finanances, because there'd actually be something to work with.
I'm not too depressed about it. Considering. Others at work are up in arms, and there's a variety of emotions being expressed. People are stupid, though. There's the naive who have stormed into the Head's office, demanding words in writing, citing contract agreements, and quoting old email messages. Give up the dream, sweeties. Business is run in such a way that there are disclaimers, fine print and then the very fine print... either way, not much time or effort is going to be wasted on us minions.
There's going to be a big announcement at work on Monday morning, so says the grapevine.
Whatever.
