Donovan told you one of the guys at his office was just let go, right? Everybody loved him, but he just made poor choices. They used to write stupid things this guy said on a big white board (they're hilarious!) and the quotes are still there, which must be sad.
The guy's going to work for a furniture store now, and give us a discount on a new couch, so I guess that's the silver lining. ;)
When someone's fired, it really is like they've died. It's bizarre.
