Fired from Dunder Mifflin = Eye of the Tiger Montage

Surely this isn't a good sign for 2008. It's like getting an email from future Dwight Schrute, to say nothing of the implications for my resolution to blog more in 2008. Bah:

We've noticed that your productivity has gone way down recently. In fact, in the past three weeks you haven't shown up to work at all. You're a valuable part of Dunder Mifflin Infinity. Without you, DMI wouldn't even exist. That's why we want to make sure that you're not leaving the company for good. If you're taking some personal time off, that's not a problem. Just click on the link below to login and get back to work no later than midnight Thursday, January 10, 2008 so we know you're still with us. All you have to do is earn some SchruteBucks and you'll be reinstated back into your branch immediately. Earning SchruteBucks is as easy as updating your profile, posting a message on your forum or completing a task. Just make sure to stay active at least once every three weeks and you'll never get a notice like this ever again. We've got some really great tasks coming up in the new year and we'd hate for you to miss out on them.
If you truly do wish to leave Dunder Mifflin Infinity, you don't have to do anything. On January 11, 2008 you will be terminated from your branch. Just know that we bid you a fond farewell and we'll miss you. We'd love to have you back at any time.

Seriously, I'm being fired from Dunder Mifflin Infinity? Bastards. 2008 is going to suck. Well, I guess it could be worse. I could be China and see my economy drop 40% overnight (Losing $4 trillion has gotta get someone fired over there.
