We all got axed...
Posted May 11, 2002
Yup! All 32 of us. Put out to pasture. At the end of this month (or sooner actually) all of us will be hitting the pavement looking for jobs. The company that bought us only wants the products we sold, not the staff. The owner is giving us a 90-day severance package. When he called all of us in to tell us he said: "You should all be proud that you helped make this company so successful." Great, yeah, successful. He made 23 million; we got 90 days severance. And I created those labels! That's me out there on the shelves of every Wal-mart, Kmart, grocery store and hardware store in America. It was "us". We were all a "family" (or so he always told us). I bought it, the whole "I love you like you were one of my own kids".
And all of this comes from the fact that he couldn't keep his you-know-what in his pants. Then got a case of the "guilties" and told his wife about it. Now he has no wife, his three sons haven't spoken to him in a year. And he doesn't have us either. But he got 47 million for the products we made successful. Of course, his ex-wife gets half of that.
It sure doesn't seem to have made him very happy.

Drudgery...
Posted Apr 18, 2002
It's so dull!
Now - if you mixed fudge with drudgery - you'd get fudgery! Then everyone would come over, eat the fudge, have loads of fun, and leave happy!
Now doesn't that sound much more pleasant?

Poet's...glorious Poet's!!!
Posted Feb 15, 2002
The week is finally over! Woohoo! Except for h2g2 - it's been pretty dreary. (Oh yeah, and Valentine's Day! Ate so much chocolate I couln't possibly have counted that as a dreary day!)
My cd drive on my computer at home chomped a cd into hundreds of pieces...now it won't read anything (at least I got the cd drawer to open and close again). Maybe I can just use it to store paper clips in... unfortunately it has cut severely ino my gaming time. Hmmm... think I'll clean house for a bit and then go see a movie tonight... Gee. This is a pretty boring journal. Mirror of my life currently I guess.
blah, blah, blah...

Wimpy...
Posted Jan 15, 2002
It's Wimpy and I wish it were Wibble! Wibble, Wibble, Wibble! Only two days into this week and it's moving notoriously slow... I'm going to have to ransack the office for chocolate! BEWARE OFFICE COWORKERS - I' M ON THE HUNT FOR CHOCOLATE! La la la...yep it's definitely a rambling chocolate type of day. (Is it too early for a nap?) Hmmm...lets see - messy desk (check) empty scruffy coffee cup (check) Message light blinking on my phone (check), Sunlight glare on my monitor blinding me (check)...Darn - it's still morning! No nap for me! Well back to work (grumble, grumble)...
