Bad, bad, bad

Some days words are not enough to express it. Take a look at this:



And that's just the top layer. There is lots underneath. This is all the food that we found while looking through Jake and Charlotte's rooms today looking for her wallet that she can't find. Instead we find they have been stealing food and taking it upstairs to their rooms, smug and self-satisfied that mum and dad didn't know what they were doing.

Grounded for two weeks, no after school clubs, early bed-time. But its not enough. How do we get them to understand this is a bad idea...

Not all moments can be highlights - today is one of the crappy ones.

3 of the people in our team are let go today, as part of across-the-board layoffs throughout the company. One especially makes us sad, as everyone got on so well with her. She is sorely missed :-(<

One moment she is there, the next, gone. Each of us wonders who will be next. Our desks become a little cleaner today as we scramble to box up what we need to take, and throw away the last few years of accumulated junk.
