I am losing my job.
My company didn't even have the balls to tell us directly. I found out from articles online.

Sorry to hear Jack.
I don't think it's because they had no balls, rather, if they were to tell everyone at the same time "we're closing up shop, you are all losing your jobs", then you'd have a mass of people who didn't give a crap, not coming to work, stealing stuff, etc. It was a business decision to delay the news as long as possible.
The world needs more people like you, Jack. You will find a new job soon. You should totally steal stuff, tho. Maybe burn down the building.

my sister got laid off 12 hours before she was supposed to show up for work. 12 hours after she was told that her job was going to be safe for 3 months.
some people suck at business.

CompUsa's stock & investors in the shitter, Best Buy's making some look brilliant & happy.
I have no idea & am guessing wildly above but I think that's how that works.

Sorry to hear that Jack. Maybe you could get a job with the Nerd Herd.

I can't get into that show. I do, however love that girl on it, and was baffled to hear that she's in her 30s.

I agree, that is baffling. Before I was taken aback by all the "relevant" stuff in life. Now I hear she is 30 and completely blown the fuck away. I need a 6 month hiatus from the board. Goodbye.

Fuck me and that damn "4-Step fuck 'im good" tactic.
This proves that even though you see that 102 MHP fastball coming, you still have to hit the fucker.
