Lost my job yesterday


The hardest thing is that I worked there for years, from a micro (40-person) to a smallish company (400 person) and most of my friends are there. I'm sure I can get some employment, but maybe not as favorable a situation (distance, wage, whatever). Just trying to keep it together. My other set of friends, arguably virtual, are here at DU.

It sucks that he lost his job, but what sucks even more is that he considers the other Dummies to be his only friends outside of his (former) job.

Hey, Tab, how's that O-conomy working out for you??

Well now that sure is some mighty tough shit, yessir, it sure is.  But when they hire your replacement, Obama will count it as a 'Job he personally added to the economy.'  So, you're helping Pretzeldent Obama lie about his fantastic economic success, which should give you great comfort as a True Blue DUer, almost as good a thing as having your cat eaten by a hawk.

No explanation given over there but wonder if Ocare was part of the picture.

I wondered the same thing. I'm willing to bet that if Tad gets replaced by one or two part-time employees due to O-bolacare, he won't blame Obola. It will be all the fault of the eeeeeeeeeeevillllll Rethuglican boss.

I wonder why he lost his job.  You would think if you stayed with a company from a 40 person to 400 person you might just have some value to yourself.

There is always that pee in the cup thing that DUmbasses have difficulty with.
Add to that being lazy and arrogant jackasses or the simple part that they always lie about everything.

Did it have anything to do with a missing remote?


Or earwigs?


Maybe, just maybe, it had something to do with your habit of posting on Skins' Island while you were at work.

I believe it's the diet cola primitive who is, or was, a chef in a New England eatery, who got fired for being a habitual drunk.....for decades.

Some time after that, he mysteriously showed up in New Mexico.

But I'm not 100% sure.

I don't know, Gina. Shit happens sometimes. Certainly not speaking for the Dummy, but I lost a job because it was sold(11 years) and I wasn't going to go to CA to follow it and another one (9 years) because it went out of business (that was my own fault as I could see it coming) and am about to lose another one because of the *******ed gov't (8 years). I will find something else but sometimes it's not about your value to the company

The diet cola primitive, from over there in New England; the one that was too lazy to fix a Thanksgiving dinner for his wife, even though she had been working that day--also, the diet cola primitive's the one who turns on the oven without checking inside first, to be sure there's nothing already in there, like leftover pizza or a cat or something.

Okay, folks, this is a good example of a stretchy, where a primitive stretches things more than the elastic on the subway cat's underpanties.

The diet soda primitive probably complained about every order he ever got from Omaha Steaks.

The diet soda primitive says it's been only one time, but primitives have short-term memories.

And the diet soda primitive doesn't want to admit he's complained many times in hopes of getting some sort of gift-certificate from Omaha Steaks, for good customer relations.  The diet soda primitive's gotten a few of these, but because of repetitious complaining, Omaha Steaks finally caught on to his "trick."

franksolich bets this is the real story.

42. Thanks all

I deal with consumer and commercial software and multimedia - many titles you might have used growing up (if under 30) or had your kids use.

Unfortunately I work(ed) for a company that was not in that line of business, and they decided yesterday it wasn't worth having me around.

It does suck. I have some health issues. I'm not a spring chicken any more. I don't particularly want to drive into Boston for work (again) but may have to. Things just get more complicated as they get older.

Thanks to all for your well wishes. If you're looking for a high-end software engineer, drop me a note. Even if not, feel free to drop me a note.
