Empty Chairs at Empty Cubicles<\/h3>\n
[sung to the tune of “Empty Chairs at Empty Tables” from Les Miserables]<\/p>\n
There’s a grief that can’t be spoken.
\nThere’s a pain goes on and on.
\nEmpty chairs at empty cubicles,
\nMy friends logged out and gone.<\/p>\n
Here they talked of great stock options.
\nHere it was they bought domains.
\nHere they sang about stock splitting,
\nAnd those stock splits never came.<\/p>\n
From the office on the corner,
\nThey could see a world reborn,
\nAnd they rose with servers pinging–
\nI can hear them now,
\nThe very jobs that they obsessed
\nBecame their last downsizing
\nOn the quarterly report at dawn!<\/p>\n
Oh my friends, my friends forgive me.
\nThat I’m employed and you are gone.
\nThere’s a grief that can’t be spoken,
\nThere’s a pain from that dot-com.<\/p>\n
Phantom servers on the network,
\nPhantom logins at the port,
\nEmpty chairs at empty cubicles,
\nWhere my friends will code no more.<\/p>\n
Oh my friends, my friends, don’t ask me
\nWhat your IPO was for.
\nEmpty chairs at empty cubicles,
\nWhere my friends will code no more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
