I think I am getting laid off at 9:30

**michelob** · October 5th, 2009, 09:13 AM

Just got a private email from HR to be on a call at 9:30.

Rumor has is that 15 jobs are going bye-bye

Mine is suppose to be one of them.

**Witchy** · October 5th, 2009, 09:50 AM

oh boy... no good

hope it works out

**michelob** · October 5th, 2009, 09:56 AM

They want my to move to Indy. Been there-done that.

Now they are looking into a severance package.

**Captain Obvious** · October 5th, 2009, 09:59 AM

Severance for janitorial staff?

Seriously, what is it you do anyway? I guess you don't like Indy, or you're too settled, or what?

**michelob** · October 5th, 2009, 10:20 AM

I have family members that I have to support both physically and monetarily.

I just gave up one hell of a nice salary for family.

I hope I did the right thing.

On a happier note........I will have all day to make stupid posts

I need a beer.

**Captain Obvious** · October 5th, 2009, 10:51 AM

Giving up the good job seems contrary to helping support them monetarily.

Are there local opportunities for whatever it is you do? I didn't think drunken random posting was that lucrative.

Obama has already provided for Michelob

In all seriousness, sorry to hear this, Michelob. FWIW, my aunt and uncle both got laid off by GM. They now make so much more money that only my uncle is working, they didn't sell their home in Michigan and bought a bad ass penthouse loft in Chicago (where he works now). I'd venture to guess they are making $100k more/year with only one of them working and they are both older than your old corpse

This might be a blessing in disguise, or at least a chance to move south where guns are cool, democrats are hated and motorcycles can be ridden year round

**michelob** · October 5th, 2009, 10:52 PM

Severance package comes overnight tomorrow.

I'm done. And I feel great.

Can I be the new improved Bum now?????

Oh, and I have to go buy a car tomorrow since I have to give up my company car.

I think I will look for a purple TA. Know anyone who has one?

Cool. Once you get, might I suggest enrolling in community college? You can take some remedial math and intensive Spanish.

I think a Honda Element might be a wise choice.

Or a used Yugo, I hear those are cheap.

Hey man, I could use it to tote all my music s*** around

After I look for a car today, I have this strange urge to go buy Guitar Hero

You must resist. Otherwise, you will soon find yourself posting videos of yourself playing it on youtube.

And you'll start calling everybody a douche.

Sorry Mich.

Best O luck in the new job hunt.

Get some student loans and retrain into something in the medical field.

I'm good. I am paid for quite some time. I have a lead on building guns. PM me for details.

No, I'm not kidding.

I was going to get guitar hero tonight but the lady at the store said don't bother. The game sucks so bad that some douche played it so much he could do it blindfolded.

I'll stick with PacMan.

OK, so if you slow down, you will live longer, right?

**Moe** · October 17th, 2009, 05:01 AM

I don't know.

Sounds good. Let's put it to the test.

I want a full bodied beer with a reasonably high alcohol content. What do you recommend?

I don't really care for malt liquors too much. Then again, I'm not a big fan of fried chicken and watermelon, either.
