The LANL workforce's stupor over all that's transpired the past few years is surpassed only by LLNL's mind boggling stupidity. After seeing what LANL experienced you still have some Livermorons that don't get it, or act surprised, express distress, and god knows can't even manage to keep up a blog for more than a couple of months. NIF was a political decision to reward California's most clueless Lab with a large project that it couldn't begin to understand, much less finish. Enough said.

Were did the disease start ? Enough said.
Thanks for that remarkable pile of crap. I suppose you will be one of the few and one of the first booted out the gate. Good bye.
When caged rats can't fight back, they start biting each other.
"California's most clueless Lab"
They can't be that clueless, at least they found a new home for Anastasio. :)
8:46 -- looks like someone touched a nerve.
Way to go Gussie. I think you should charge admission or get income from Google ads on this blog.
If you think the comments here are amusing, 9:09, you should check out what's going on over on the "As The Blog Turns" post. Be careful, though. I'm beginning to suspect that the mere act of reading some of that drivel will drop your IQ at least 10 points.
I suspect the 9:06 poster there read the post twice. Maybe three times.

Ten bucks says you don't know what the acronym NIF means. Do you even know what an acronym is?
Take my advice and get to an AA meeting. Do you know what "AA" is?

Drivel is mine but thanks for adopting it. I am flattered.
Ah, yes. Representatives from America's two premier weapons labs demonstrate their intellectual prowess for the whole world to see.
Nice job, boys and girls. Now we look even stupider than we did just a few hours ago.

Based on the size and scope of work force restructuring one would conclude the winner of the "stupid" contest would be Los Alamos. Agreed?
The SSP voluntary numbers are going to be a lot higher than most people thought.
As of late Monday they were heading for the 300 mark. It seems that a fair number of staff want out of LANL and are leaving with that great big final paycheck on their way out the front door.
Not that surprised about the numbers for SSP. Considering the huge number of old timers at LANL, the fact that they can leave now and take a fat paycheck with them is pretty attractive, especially if the are: (1) at TSM salary levels, (2) have close to 30 years of service, and (3) are in their late 50's, so that their SSN payments are only a few more years away.
These staffers can probably take a check of about $80K or more with them if they leave right now. If they leave on their own in another year or two, they get nothing. It's hard to turn down money like that, especially given the current state of the lab.
I'm going to take my big severance check and use it for a very long 'round the world vacation. I plan on getting as far away from Los Alamos as possible in the next year. Too many bad memories of working for LANL over the last few years. I'll try to remember the good times and forget all the bad.
9:03: Good observation. :-)
"These staffers can probably take a check of about $80K or more with them if they leave right now."
That $80K will not even cover the loss of value of their houses.
Many of us paid down the debt on our mortgages and now own our homes in Los Alamos. Paying down debt is a radical concept that came from the pre-2000 period of US history.
Gus,
It is interesting that you won't print any comments that criticize you. Is this a democracy or dictatorship? Or are you modeling your blog after our great leaders (at the national labs and in our government) by censoring input? If you can't take the heat...
