Laid Off Today

mrsimperless · 08-27-2003, 09:07 AM

Well, it's not like I didn't see it coming, but today I was laid off from job. Just another notch in the belt of this most wonderful year of my life. Sorry to whine and complain on the board, but I needed to vent and share somewhere. Thanks for listening.

Keep your chin up. Things are always darkest before the dawn. When one door closes, another opens. *insert other random cliche here*

Draft Dodger · 08-27-2003, 09:18 AM

sorry dude

GrantDawg · 08-27-2003, 09:19 AM

Seriously, sorry to hear that. Maybe a new door is opening for you.

Bee · 08-27-2003, 09:30 AM

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you'll find something better quickly.

KevinNU7 · 08-27-2003, 09:51 AM

Good Luck

Get hammered tonight and then tomorrow wake up at noon at say, "I have a killer headache but atleast I don't have to work today."

Coffee Warlord · 08-27-2003, 09:52 AM

What do you do again, simp?

Senator · 08-27-2003, 09:57 AM

I had to let 35 of the most talented people I have come across (with the exception of this board) in a long time go yesterday.

It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do.

Franklinnoble · 08-27-2003, 10:32 AM

Senator fired mrsimperless?

korme · 08-27-2003, 10:46 AM

Keep your head up simperless, this will turn around buddy.

damnMikeBrown · 08-27-2003, 11:09 AM

Well, it was cut-down day. Hopefully one of the other teams saw something in you during pre-season and you'll catch on. There's also the strong chance you could be released just to clear waivers so you can be put on the team's practice squad. Keep your chin up & stay by the phone.

Noop · 08-27-2003, 11:21 AM

Damn it really hasnt been a good summer.

JeeberD · 08-27-2003, 11:48 AM

Maybe I should quit frequenting this board. Seems like everyone here is either losing their job or getting a divorce...

cuervo72 · 08-27-2003, 12:38 PM

Hey now, hey now,
Hear what I say now,
Happiness is just around the corner,
Hey now, hey now,
Hear what I say now,
We'll be there for you.

SirFozzie · 08-27-2003, 12:41 PM

I think quoting the Venga Boyz in a serious manner on this board, should be a bannable offense

cuervo72 · 08-27-2003, 12:43 PM

Just trying to spread a little cheer.

And thanks for all the kind words, I appreciate it.

Time to start your new sports sim. Maybe a MMO type game.

What about the unkind words? Can we get some props for those?

In total seriousness, if my company gets the funding they are looking for, they are hiring developers. I'll keep you in the loop if/when it becomes possible to look for new people.

tucker342 · 08-27-2003, 08:36 PM
