Re: CUBE LIFE! Office Etiquette

Survived a massive round of layoffs this week. Honestly stunned. Many, including my boss (who is great), weren't so lucky.

I was going to say I don't need a high-profile role, but then Steve stole mine. You can put me at LB then.

Wait, are we arguing whether navy/dark blue is actual blue? All those teams mentioned above have blue helmets. And the Rams switched to a more royal blue shade a couple years ago, so not even the first medium-blue helmet.
