But have no fear. I’ll still be considered and “apple employee” I’m by no means actually getting laid off, and if for some reason they magically pull hours out of their ass I’ll get a call to come in and work. I guess you could say I’m on a strictly on-call basis. I would almost rather have been completely laid off than be half-assed laid off.

this is also after putting YEARS into this company.

Myself, I appreciate not jamming my English in tidy little boxes, straight jacketed and carted off down well-worn, but then again, maybe I just should have known better, and no amount of comment-retort will ever make up for my vorpal slight against the Queen's English. :)</p> Grammar evolves, much as it has since the time of Beowulf, but then it does provide such wonderful comfort for sticklers, does it not?
