Out to Lunch

terryclothWe had a little going-away lunch for someone today, and it wasn't until we got there that I heard that he'd apparently been fired because he was unpopular. I found that strange, since he'd always seemed popular with everyone I talked to, but they clarified that they meant 'unpopular with his superiors'. Which I find not at all hard to believe. No one would actually go into details, though.
At least he already had a new job.
The testers (these guys were all testers; I usually eat lunch with the testers when I eat it with anyone at all) mentioned that there seemed to be a really high turnover rate in the department lately, and I passed on the rumor about it being a company-wide push to fire people, because it's always more fun to be doomed, whether or not it's true.
The restaurant was a japanese place run by a korean, so of course I ordered curry. It looked and tasted like it came out of a can. The showoff on the Atkins diet had *two* teriyaki burritos. Yes, he's losing weight.
