    Sorry to hear that man. I hope that is as bad as it gets and doesn't last long. A lot of people are beginning to feel it.

    Sorry to hear that bud. It's better than being laid off completely. It certainly shows goodwill on the company's part.

    This whole recession is a nasty business. I see a lot of businesses going down around here. It makes me nervous. I'm almost done with my degree. Being "let go" would be a particularly nasty turn of events for me right now. I keep my fingers crossed and pray a bit.

    Dang it, I'm sorry to hear that bro!! At least it's not a complete lay-off or termination.

    I see through your elaborate plan to hide from any retaliation on my part for the generous newbie sampler you sent me. (He shipped it from his office address)

    On a more serious note, sorry to hear about the temp layoff.

    Sorry about your situation, bro. I am sorry about the economy as a whole. Seems like every week, people I know or know of are getting the slip. Another wave went through my location today. I wish they would do the rotational thing instead.

    Prayers for you and all the others in similar situations.
