Hate to make give anyone more reason to dislike Monday...

However this actually happened Friday. Then there was pizza, beer and all sort of alcohol. On Friday it was announced that all of our current projects were being cancelled and therefore we had no revenue. Everyone right up to the executives are laid off immediately. This may be temporary as there are couple of things that may be signed, but after 13 weeks anyone not called back will be unemployed officially.

I, being in IT, will be going back hourly to do things that need to be done to shut down if it comes to that. It does not look good at the moment.

This is a common problem in our industry. We are a game developer and the publisher, a game company that was widely known in the late 1970's and early 80's for a game console with the model number 2600, was the only one we were signed for. They cancelled 3 games, including one over 75% done and was announced at E3 in June.

So sorry to bum anyone out, just thought I would share. This means I have to wait even longer to get my Sigma 10-20mm
