The economy tanked and Team Awesome was destroyed

Yesterday we recieved shocking, horrible, soul-destroying news.  Team Awesome would be broken apart and fed to the wolves. I am sure this was not an easy decision, and the hours of sleep that were (and are) missed are but a small tribute to the pain that our department now feels.  Our company decided that we all needed to cut spending, so four people from our department were shown the hatch.  Of the four, we lost Dustin and Ninja effectivly cutting Team Awesome in half.  Two others were thrown into the fray, Branden from Ryan's Team, and Ben... our 'one man island party planning genius with flair' (although our customer service dept hired him as an email tech).

We recieved more company emails and heard stories from the other departments (the other MIS team lost 6 people), but some of us are still here, it's just colder and lonelier.

Anyway, here's to Dustin,Ninja, Branden, and Ben. May some karma kick in and get you guys something nice (sound of a lid opening), here's one for me (swig), and four for my homies...

(As a side note, I hope that Dustin, Ninja, Ben, and Branden will continue to post here, because you guys will always be welcome here)
