Pretty much just hair in general. And yeah the fact that it's a fashion thing, like just about everything else these days.

Something fishy is going on at work.

I've been saying this for almost 2 months, but my gut tells me something big is up. I'm getting back to spending more time on my resume than on work. This company will fold within a few years, just not sure how soon.

I opened one of my Famicom's today because the buttons were all sticking down to find it full of sawdust :?

What's causing the feeling? Anything specific, or just how your boss is acting?

Closed doors, meetings that I am not invited to attend (as a director I've always been asked to attend every board meeting), and more than usual "we appreciate what you're doing for the company"s. I'm the youngest guy in the company by at least 30 years and I've already told my wife that my gut tells me the company will either fold or sell. No usual X-mas bonuses either.

I've also started interviewing with other companies as well. Not worried, but I will be looking out for number one right now, meaning I want to make sure my wife will be more than financially secure if anything happens. If the shit does hit the fan, I'm not worried, but I would hate to move. I LOVE my house, my neighborhood, my neighbors, my yard (even if it's an idiot to take care of), and all that's been going on recently, and I just want to make sure I'm prepared if something amiss happens.

...apparently there are people who get reproduction carts made of Stadium Events.

Really? It's simply a collector's oddity. If you're going to have the game, get the real thing. If you just want to play it, go spend $2 on World Class Track Meet.

There were no grape pop tarts when I got groceries last night. No empty spot and no marker that I could see just loaded with the wrong flavor. :(
