Its raining this morning -- first day in a long time that its been cold. The sky is covered by Chinese pollution and its very foggy.
The president was forced to step down today by the board of directors. A little too late. They should've done that when GEOS wanted to buy us. All branches are officially closed today. I suppose I won't have to call in sick next week.
The company is not bankrupt. It still has some assets and is asking the government for help. What's the expression again? Hmm... "A little too late." One can only hope that with the left over money Monkeyman gets his last month's pay check. Hate to see him kicked out of his penthouse.
Liquidate. I don't care. But before you do, let me get P's microwave. I went to the branch this morning to try to get the microwave. The doors were locked. I banged on the metal door and heard the phone ringing off the hook behind my clanging.
Nova was going under. We all knew it. The pessimists were right for once. It is a shame that Nova's death had to be done in such an underhanded way. Yesterday I left work figuring I'd be back today. I didn't say goodbye to the students. I didn't get to tell them they should take private lessons from me. I didn't get the numbers of my branch staff. I didn't get the emergency guidance numbers for foreigners. I didn't get the microwave.
All branches were closed quickly and quietly this morning with no notice. In some place, for some reason, an honorable man is committing seppuku. I do not think he is Monkeyman.
