Did they at least give you a severance package?

Look on the bright side, George. Now you can finally dedicate all your time to becoming a professional stuntman and pyromaniac. :)

Be sickeningly nice to everyone and your boss. They'll walk on egg-shells around you, worried that you may snap at any minute.
I'm sorry to hear the sad news, George. Corporate fucks. :(

I always got laid off on a friday. Who are these people that either lay you off just before Christmas or on a Friday? If you want to feel better just read the posts where I get attacked over and over. :)

I've known a couple of folks that actually got fired on their day off. That's just damn rude.
If you're going to drink away your blues, make sure you reach toward the bottom shelves at the liquor store. No need to blow any unnecessary money. Maybe some Mad Dog even.
That's terrible advice. On second thought, go on a long walk.

Damn, George. I hope this is a blessing in disguise. Did you give someone a broken nose yet?

That sucks, George. I hope the time off is short, yet productive...? Poor consolation, I know. :(

I have a feeling this is gonna turn out good.
george
Feb 28th, 2003, 03:36 PM
well, i pretty much feel like i was paid to be on imockery for the last three years, so that much is good.
plus i have a ok severance package, and the benefits for another three months, so i am not nearly as fucked as i have been in times past.
i pretty much figure it is best to get laid off like this than to eventually have been fired due to my sheer incompitence/laziness.

George NEWSFLASH: THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF MY LIFE:
theme music from the YuGiHo play station game playing in the background mixed up with the noise from Tuesday playing Hamtaro on her gameboy, it is very noisy.
Zoe says "EWWWWWW! A bloody toenail!!" and looks at Tuesday with anger in her eyes.
after a second Tuesday goes "hey! that is mine!" in a peky little chirp.
Zoe throws the piece of toenail at Tuesday, who fakes death as it hits her. it is a very dramatic death. just when things finally get quiet from her little scene, i feel a scratch on my arm.
it is Tuesday making a pirate face and using her bloody piece of toenail as a sword.
it makes me feel decidely ill and amused at the same time.

No way, dude. You got m last time and I was totally sympathetic, and it turned out you weren't even laid off at all.
Except this time you are, right?
It worked out well for me, but it was scary as hell for a while. Bust ass while you have benefits. If you need someone to lie and pretend to be your old boss on the phone for a reccomendation. I promise to toallty play down your enema fetish and body odor.

Alright George, you've had a good turn out of well wishes and I'll do none other, but the time has come for you to tie one on, damn tight (not INXS tight but pretty damn tight none the less). If my lingo is obscured by borders, then I'll wish warmly upon you the drunkest of drunks with grins that make your ears want to jump off your head.
Good night everyone.
PS George, if you get to feeling blue, try listening to some Flaming Lips. They'll jerk a tear and then you'll drink it up to satisfy.
PSS I am very drunk.

You type well for being drunk. Either that, or I do not understand sarcasm.

thank you all for your concern and well wishes!!!!
after a lot of thought, and booze, and talking to people, i have decided that i actually could not be happier right now.
Nancy and i have a really good marriage and we have both been through enough that this is not the end of the world. also, i have kids that create such fun conversations as "if a monster lived off of boogers, what type of super powers would it have?"
i also have a nice pile of money to go pick up at my old job monday, and i had a dream that i was a secret agent and that the terrorists replaced one of my crack secret agents with a full sized Arab guy who spoke like i imagine Habib speaks that screamed "hey dudes, it is me the midget, please wait for me so that we can go arrest the terrorists" i started laughing and it woke me up. i was laughing so hard it woke Nancy up, and i fell asleep again tittering and trying to tell her all about the Arab not midget secret agent (not to mention how the original midget disappeared into his feces bag??)
anyhow, i think i am going to be OK, i just may have to start posting here more at night than during the day, cause i am going to take a more blue collar job or go back into retail, cause at least that way i can openly hate people and make jokes all day :)

Good luck with the hunt, bub. Just remember, no matter how bad it gets, at least you're not a jarhead anymore.
