I took the pile of cards from her. On top was a card for Larry. I picked that one up.
"This guy," I said, "oversaw the dismantling of my department. He laid off" and then I started throwing unopened cards in the recycling box, "Jan and Sandra and Mike and and Angie and Sam..." Then I took Larry's card and threw it in the box, too.
"And then Larry got laid off."
