requiem for a dead company

With apologies to Mike M June 30 2005
I've seen it a few times before. A dead company. The unmistakable pall of hopelessness and denial; Defeat followed by attrition. The body is still slouching along, oblivious to the loss of it's soul. But we all can see it for what it is: Dead.Weird. Cubes deserted with few signs of recent activity. Hushed silence. No phones ringing, nobody talking. Even by noon, the last remaining believers hadn't bothered to turn the lights on. I think maybe they don't believe anymore either.
