Not that I'm really surprised by how the vote went. I hope it will be fairly short and comparatively bloodless, but I can see several ways it could get very messy indeed.

On a lighter note...

Today was my third half-day in my new job (I'm going to be part time in both jobs for a few weeks). Today, I actually moved desks to sit with my new team (all of 8 yards).

I've done more real development work in the last 3 half-days of my new job than in the previous 2 months of the old one. Work is starting to almost be fun again.
