It didn't take too long to have a look at our company's new hires. They are a real mixed population example. I seriously doubt many of them will remain with the company long term. The CEO hired too many in too fast. Honestly, hiring anymore is a bad idea. This will assuredly cause the CEO's desired effect of chaos. I'm sure he has a plan to benefit himself from the chaos. Though, the company as a whole may suffer.

The troubles that the CFO has with my division came to a rather public head. Our division's security has been slashed and members of the team have been publicly punished. The CFO and I seem to get on personally, though. My department head has asked that I handle departmental public relations. I accepted, but I am entirely unsure if I should have.

As a result of our department's relationship with the CFO, I began an investigation of the issue and found the root cause. The employee in question had managed to get his new hire and the security team blamed by the company as a whole for his own actions. I discovered even more reason to be concerned with him and took it to our departmental head. She resolved the issue with the home office. The bad employee has been terminated and shall no longer be of concern.

I really do have a personal life and it has become rather interesting. Admittedly, it does involve fraternizing with someone who may be a corporate spy. Luckily, my involvement with him consists primarily of extra curricular activities. We share religious and sociological world views. They are somewhat counter to the company's view, but I believe in change from within.

I have also begun to perform again. It is my fondest hope to provide inspiration for people to throw off the shackles of their corporate and technological masters. This hope is beyond me, but others can be saved. People need to reach into themselves for their answers; seek their own transformation of the mind and soul. It cannot be provided for them by mass media or bread and circuses.

On a much brighter note, my beautiful boy has arrived. It was dreadfully lonely without him. I missed his solid presence amidst all of this newness and chaos.
