Last night Laura left Firriver, all of a sudden. David explained that with "professional reasons", which may read as "found a greener pasture" or "wanted to go back to embryology". OTOH, took good care to revoke all her logins and remove her from all the skype chats.
I just said "now I'll never know how she looks", because she never showed any picture of hers, Kees provided one (with him, Nick, David and Laura, taken by a waiter some two years ago). Well, pretty much as I imagined.
The cremation is today (no, tomorrow). It's also Anita's 2nd birthday. Saw her on skype last night, she's running around, climbing the chairs, hanging on fridge door...
Talked with Jan today (we're starting Feds v 7 now), and after talking shop we switched to wtf happened. It seems Laura had pretty much the same complaints as I did (and so did he), only stronger - with the multiplication of management and several stupid moves they did and never confessed to us they were wrong. She just got fed up and negotiated her next job during the whole month. So I aired my grievances to him, specially the issue of the accountant not even looking at Nina's time sheet and just silently trying not to pay her at all for the whole february, and the crappy ClockWorker they bought for timesheets without even consulting anyone... the whole aloof decision making on the top. The results aren't disastrous but are not good either, and now we see how they hurt.
Boba, Dragan and his brother, Arpi and Lena went to the hospital today to see Silvija. She's still rather sedated - who knows by what - but not as slow as the day after surgery. Seems to be doing fine and will probably be released on friday.
