Be careful for what you wish for, Jerry Yang.

Because after talking to a dozen Yahoo execs over the weekend after the Microsoft takeover deal cratered, most of whom are vice presidents or above, I have to say that your stock drop isn't the worst thing you will have to deal with this morning when you pull up at work....

So, here's a sampling of the feelings, none of which were positive, even though BoomTown tried mightily to get someone to render a more sanguine spin on the proceedings:

"I am in shock."

"I don't know if we won or we lost. I think we lost."

"I don't love that it was Microsoft, but I think everyone thought $33 was a pretty good offer from a pretty good tech company."

"Having to face my staff tomorrow will not be so much fun and I need some Prozac, since I don't know what I can say to them about how our leadership is going to get our company going again."

"Where's the Jelly memo when you need it?"

Yahoo Exec: "I Need Some Prozac" - which is precisely why your company is on the block.
