THE AXE IN AXIUM

The LA Times have redeemed themselves from that previous article riddled with misinformation.

it's day 3 and it seems that i'm just beginning to pick my jaw up off the ground. i'm still a ways from having it all really sink in but i'm slowly finding my way. it's still difficult to wrap my head around the enormity of the situation but more and more i am beginning to think that the Canadian side of the company has gotten off pretty easy.

it sucks what happened to us. Axium was run by a bunch of bastards trying to prove how big their balls were. they hung us out to dry but at least our unemployed asses landed in a healthy economy with a healthy job market. our American counterparts aren't so lucky. the numbers are daunting. it's bleak in a way that i'm not sure we Canadians could understand - not now any way.

maybe i'm being naive, maybe just overly patriotic. whatever the case, i for one am going to consider my able-bodied self lucky. don't get me wrong, i'm not quite ready to charge back out there guns a blazin' but i will be and when i do it will be bigger and better cuz let's face it - Axium sucked. it'd be hard to do any worse.

thank you to everyone in the Vancouver office. i will take with me many fond memories (and a handful of incriminating pictures). we were an island of sanctuary amidst an ocean of sharks in designer suits. it was nice when we managed to keep them at bay.
