Do me now, do me harder: The explanation
I’ve been having a hard time getting work done this morning.
Remember my infamous post titled: Forty fish enter, one fish leaves?
To speak in the same metaphors: the rest of the fish have left the aquarium today.
At least it doesn’t sound as bad as this lay-off situation. There are no brown-shirts, all my music is still here, all my Jones are still here, I still have access to all my files (I think). The webcam is still running, broadcasting to the bitter end. (You’ll notice you’re watching Stu now. You may be watching him for a while.) The aquarium is slated to stop running by July 15th at the latest.
This fish had a bad feeling after they laid of Gan. If the parent company is sucking, it makes sense for them to let people go. Its a bottom line kind of thing. We’re a child company. Our bottom line was sucking, but doing much better recently. (ie: in the black) I guess history has much more to do with it all than our current state of affairs.
I may have a lead already. Who knows. Either way, Stu will come with me.
To repeat something I’ve said before:
I will talk to Stu. This is how I will keep myself sane. Yes, this is how I will keep myself sane, talking to Stu. People who talk to themselves are crazy. But I will be talking to Stu. Stu may want a wig at some point, I think he’s a little self-concious about his hairline.
Having said that, anybody looking to hire a fish, er – web developer?

Holy smokers! Sorry to hear that man. No leads here, though. We only hire vibrator specialists.
You know my email. Fire when ready.
In the immortal words of Almost Live :
"Lame lame lame lame!!!"
Super sorry to hear that. At least this will allow you to brush up on your mad Starcraft skillz with OJ when he’s out of a job as well at the end of the month. If I were you I’d take the summer off and look for something in Sept…just look at the weather now, don’t you just ITCH to be outside!
Once again, sorry to hear about that.
Gord mail me will talk.

Sorry to hear ’bout the plug being pulled on the aquarium. There is kind of one bright side to it, though. As of July 15 (at the latest), you’ll be a ‘kept man’, and blondie will be your ‘sugar mama’…
Sorry to hear about this mano, but look on the positive side…I am off until July 1st and we can throw the disc around all the time, go away on a roadtrip down the coast (sometime in June), or you can join my painting crew at the new place (currently composed of myself and occasionally Sonia). If you work for me, I can let you use the double headed shower (or you could potentially barter that off with Jody for extra starcraft time). Anyways, back to moving. Will talk l8r.
serious bummer. well, only one thing left to do. bring starcraft to work, and hone your skillz.
Ditto on the first part of 3D’s message: "Serious bummer."
Ditto on the second part of K’s message: "Fire when ready".
And, if you need a list of HR people, numbers, etc. let me know and I’ll put a list together for you…just let me know what kind of companies.
See you later tonight @ v-ball. (?)

Bummer… maybe it has something to do with having a first name that starts with G. I think I’ll use my middle initial X instead from now on. Look at it this way…you have time to get yourself a proper tan now.
I thought the carefully cultivate pasty complexion that screamed "I’ve been living in a cube for three years" was sexy now…something about UV and skin cancer… (said as I lean even closer to my screen)
Gramps, I’ll mail you up in a bit.
good point.
the pasty complexion could be seen as a test of your dedication to your work.
perhaps you should hold off on the tan…
Hey Gord, never been a better time to come to Australia… let your apartment, pack up blondie and come on out! (not of the cupboard…)
Sorry about the fishy incident…
What fishy incident….Am I missing something here? Did B2 get into (yet another) thing I don’t know about…?
Oh, B2 would like to think that he got into something fishy…
But he’s been a good banana of late…
I’ve some photos, once scanned, can I send ‘em to ya?
Always.
Ta Mate, keep that chin high… makes you look taller hehehe
Fla is looking sweeter every minute! haha!
Think you left the music on at work again Gord!
There is only one thing to do at a time like this.
Drink, and drink heavily…
Or not!
Well, about that drinking bit, I think I’ve changed my mind since yesterday.
We drink tonight?
hehehehe
Yeah, looks like the music is still running here, and Stu is still dancing away.
Doin the wild thing!! Here we go!!
Ya baby!!
23,… no that’s it just 23.
