    Ant's corporate bullshit murmur of the week.

    So, I put my 2 weeks notice in 2 weeks ago, and today is my last day. Around a week before I put my notice in, they 'restructured' our corporate management (read: Executives got escorted out of the building, and people started hopping job titles). So the owner of our company (we are supposedly publicly held, riiiight, its his personal playground) thinks that any software project can be done in 4 weeks (thats right, I said 4 weeks), and so he has also restructured the management over the IT department, namely the director of software and the CIO. So, basically the previous persons occupying these spots are now either 'moved around' or demoted, yet the previous director of software lost his office and is now in a cube *snicker*. (needless to say, he is unhappy).

    So.

    I believe he has embarked on some sort of creative (read: batshit insane) ways of trying to get fired to get severance pay. Dood has just gone nuts, i mean, its turned into saturday nite live around here for my last 2 weeks. He has rattled every cage he can, sends emails out to whoever he can to fuck with people he is still over, and just does crazy shit. The guy over all of IT had to come make him vacate his office so the new guy could get in, and dood they end up having like a shouting match. Then, the new director of software wants a presentation of all the projects that we are working on, and I had to go to ATL to talk to a company there for them, so other people were in the meeting. So, ex director dood was supposed to go, but instead emails my manager that it was a huge waste of time, and he wasnt going. so the meeting has hit full stride, and in walks ex director dood, and starts smiling real big and starts talking to my manager across the room in a loud voice, right in teh middle of a presentation.... lol... and new director turns around, and has this look like "wtf"... and dood just smiles real big... and keeps talking and waving...

    it just keeps getting better. and when Im have to leave. darn.
