Perfect timing, it sounds like. I mean... If you'd been laid off on Friday, you probably wouldn't have that nifty new camera, would you?

Yeah, I've been trying to look at it that way. Mostly today though I have been wandering around looking very dazed.

You ought to all join up together and start your own consulting firm...

It's something we talked about. I can't see it working though, we're all too nice to each other to actually work for each other without some high authority giving us some general direction...

We'd need to poach all the permies as well for it to be viable and that would leave our other team members (the ones in the US) in a nasty situation. It's a shame, because we are such a good team.
