No I was happy this morning. I got notice that another patent I filed had been granted (only took 3 years and a week this time). Later I went to lunch at the main factory and was suddenly aware of massive security presence. There were security guards from several firms along the walkways, in the lobbies and the stairwells. My first thought was a terror attack or vague warning. It turns out it was a few thousand employees being layed off. That sort of quashed my buzz. TP
