    There was a TSA (Terms of Service Agreement) between Pfizer and Boehringer-Ingelheim. I work for Pfizer. So under the original conditions BI (Boehringer) gets off of our file servers, and pretty much completely off of our network by a certain date. That means they migrate whatever servers are conveyed to them, take the network infrastructure, and migrate intellectual property.

    Well both sides don't seem to have the ability to tie their own shoes, let alone split and migrate an entire site. Boehringer pushed back the TSA, but Pfizer didn't push back their layoffs. So, you kind of see how this is playing out...

    I would have walked WAY earlier but when I finish this out (hopefully NovembeR) and they finally lay me off, then I get half a year's salary through severence. Plus, closing out a merger is a very good thing for the resume.

    What has been keeping you busy? Or is it personal?

    I am part of a merger that had a divestiture on top of that. So I am working on merging some stuff with the Merger company, and splitting data to the Divestiture company. Basically they got rid of almost everyone in IT on the Merger company's side and for a while I had the workload of about 8 IT staff, now it is down to about 4.

    Almost all of the people at our location went to the divestiture company, including part of the IT staff (The other part got laid off), but I didn't and they all still use the resources on our side of the fence, which means I support all of them. I disabled 450 users last weekend so that has helped a bit. We are moving a bunch of infrastructure over this next weekend.

    I pretty much have people standing in line waiting to ask me to do stuff for them.

    Hi Trifoilum. Sorry for not responding earlier - but I couldn't figure out how to get back to your messages after seeing them the first time. [shrug] :) I'm still learning about how to use this forum.

    I tried to find the term he was referring to - Neutrosis (I'm not sure of the spelling here) - in my DSM-IV book and cannot find it referenced anywhere. The book was published back in the '90's - so maybe it's out of step with the real world. Yet the wording at the link he provided describing his "condition" does not sound as if this was viewed as a disorder by the psychological professional world. Perhaps it will be defined and included with the upcoming publication of the revised DSM-V.
    I agree with you about people thinking that if they have a disorder they are doomed. Truth is - we all experience these 'states of mind' off and on during our lives. It's just that we don't dwell on those states and eventually move in another direction as our life experiences change. I guess it would seem reasonable that if we dwell on a particular 'state of mind' as perceived as undesirable and we fret and worry about it - then it seems to hang around for far longer than otherwise would have occurred.

    I was real happy to see you respond to him. I found myself very tongue tied - unable to respond - in a meaningful way - on this online forum to him. My initial reaction was one that took me straight to thinking he has developed certain personas to deal with his negative life experiences. He's close to having multiple personalities inside him. I felt sad and worried for him - and I was sad for myself because I could give him no words of comfort.
    And it surely seemed he needed some.
    So when you stepped up and responded - that was great for him - and great for me. In reading what you said - You taught me something I needed to learn - which is long and complicated and has relevance for me - so I won't go into it here.
    Thank you for that!!!!
    I hope you have a day where you get hugged to your heart's content! [HUG]

    i love all kinds of music, just discovered James Taylor thanks to Skathac and am enjoying his style :) mostly techno, house, etc. is what I gravitate towards, though it greatly depends on my mood. lately been listening to a lot of acoustic guitar and a cappalla. what about you?

    If you aim your Ni at something long enough, you'll end up at the same point, no matter what it is. :)

    I'm not sure if that was what those who made that poster had in mind, but I do think that it was very in line with the part of the twentieth century that it represents. As for why I chose it for an avatar, it certainly was because it has a dimension that is not seen completely at first glance.

    Do you like vintage posters?

    No, but once I finish death note I'll see about starting on something else!

    I doubt anything can live up to it.

    Plus, progress is slow.

    I have to buy the books remember!:p

    Killing my dearest L?

    Yes!

    I was quite fond of her, she had wits and determination.

    I honestly thought she was going to make a reappearance, having tricked Light somehow. After all , she was one of the few who knew Light was Kira for definite.

    *Shrugs*

    Still reading the manga, on book seven.

    Never seen the anime!
    Melkor
    Yeah, sometimes I have second thoughts about that.

    Of course, I still have Misa Misa:>

    She's more than enough I assure you.
    Melkor
    Is this Light thing up for sex?

    Because otherwise I fail to see the point...
    Melkor
    Aahaha.

    I feel bad now. *Pats*

    Be a good underling and get me some tea^^

    There's a cuddle in it for you.

    Maybbbee.
    Melkor
    All the better for not having seen you, my delightfully bland friend!:p

    How goes the muffin eating?
