As a final note on our daily tag up meeting, Alan (who works in Iowa at a company we are partnering with) mentioned that he was headed to a meeting to discuss the layoffs that were announced at his company today. We were using my desk phone for the conference call, and it was on speaker phone. As soon as the words were broadcast, Susie reached over and turned down the volume, but it was too late. Eric was already at my desk, asking us to clarify what he had just heard. Today all those who are usually annoyed by our poor office manners were happy to be the first ones to hear the news. Doh! The news hit the newspapers 2 hours later, so at least it wasn't too big of a leak.
