I have a feeling that NCsoft is going to push for the dems to bail them out….

Good theory, except that none of the employees were invited.

“i think that the company would probably do this to show the people still working there that they are valuable. Yes it may seem rude to do this…but morale is probably at an all time low at NCSoft, so in order to get their employees feeling motivated and it is not like the end of the world, they throw a party…yes it may seem semi hedonistic, but some times desperate times call for desperate measures.”

Yeah fingers crossed Seattle will keep going down on home prices, shame Google’s likely to muck that all up. On the party, seems like it would be excusable if those who were laid off were invited and it was billed as recruiting event, I mean it seems like they’ve killed their chance to head hunt as well with the layoffs.

Yeah that’s also the same night as another party that’s been planned and announced for more than a week, so I think I’ll be going to that one.

[quote] “Does Washington have some crazy state tax?” — yep, we do. 8.8% and in metro areas it can be a wee bit higher due to local taxes.

On the other hand, we don’t have state income tax, so, you know. It is a wash.

We do have nice scenery, 3-4ish actual seasons and friendly Canadians just a couple of hours away, so it ain’t all bad

Yeah the funny thing is most of WA was convinced that the reasons our gas prices have skyrocketed over the last 4 years was because of oil concerns in the middle east, but +95% of all WA state gasoline is straight from Alaska.

I smell another year of record profits for the oil companies!

and on a very related note, I DO absolutely love the scenery and landscape in Western Washington.. much more of a pleasant atmosphere then here in TX.
