After a nearly-unanimous vote my brain's quorum decided to fire my personality's longtime publicist. From behind an imposing oak desk a shapeless blob of gray matter seemingly lit from within by blinking Christmas lights gave him the bad news. "You've been a solid player, but we've decided to go another direction. We hope you understand. Naturally a generous severance package has been arranged. See Darla in HR, she'll take you through the details. You've been a cornerstone of the organization, now get out before we reabsorb your cellular material and put you into the service of a glandular project in the south."
