Party's over

Even before it started, the party is over. Every year we have an anniversary party at the company to celebrate surviving another year against all odds. This year it was supposed to be a big 10th anniversary. However, the big boss sent a memo last week explaining that the party won't happen "because of the economy". I'd like to think that the management is being fiscally conscious, but deep in the guts it feels like a bad omen. When the inevitable cuts start, hope they won't start from the online department.
