Alas, not Mayhem of Chaos and Mayhem fame. I don’t have mews that adorable, though Troublecat looks like he could be their cousin. Trouble is my sister’s cat, and I think he should be a part of the “Aptly Named Mew” club.
No, Monday Mayhem is the title because last week, CompanyX laid off half the FTEs in my group, and now we’re struggling to shift workloads with the three active folks left. Two, really, for the next two months as one is on parental leave. Good times! I will be picking up a LOT more work, and trying to brief the boss I have left (they let the other one go WAH!) is a struggle, as he’s being inundated with questions, emails and his head is spinning.
I’m pooped. Thus the no posting last week. Nor today, really, but I wanted to get something up.
I’m gonna go be all zen or something, and watch the suddenly very strong wind blow the dandelion fluff around.
Is there any chance that the chatty coworker was one of the recently laid off or are you still stuck with her?

The good news is that you weren’t one of the FTEs tho! Here’s hoping this week calms down a bit for you.
