Big Girl's Lunch; WaMu update

As I've mentioned, Iris is transitioning to the toddler room at her day care, and now eats her lunch at a table like the big kids. Check out our big girl:

We still think she may be a lefty, since she eats with that hand more than half of the time, but not all the time, so we're still not sure.

In other news, I got my official written 60-day notice from WaMu yesterday. They're eliminating the jobs of all 17 people on my team (plus 3 or 4000 other wamu jobs). I'll be on the payroll until the end of January & then get about 2 months severance pay plus my '08 bonus, which with unemployment should be enough to keep us afloat for a while. It's not like I didn't see it coming so I'm not all that upset about it, but it still kinda sucked to hear it when we had our team meeting last week with the Chase hatchet man

Sorry about the news. The Michigan economy is not so great right now, so we're bracing ourselves for more layoffs.
