Hi friends,

Just got the news. My multinational employer has decided to let many of our IT staff go to celebrate New Years. Whew. I thought I would have to work. I have ordered my tickets to Rio and am even flying during the rollover. I'm not scared anymore. We should beleive the likes of Koskinen and Garvey. They're too smart to screw things up. Things couldn't be better. I'll be partying on the streets of Rio lauging at all you domsayer types. HA HA HA

Harry, enjoy your vacation. At least I won't be concerned about you needing my stash. Hope you can beg in Spanish.

Er, is this irony? Sorry, I really can't tell. Koskinen and Garvey apparently "can't get on rollover flights". Perhaps they could get on yours. :)

TROLL ALERT...I THINK THEY ARE BACK WITH NEW NAMES. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT FOR REAL, FOLKS!
