My boss walks in Monday and informs me he's letting me go. My replacement? One of his golfing/bowling buddies who I'm pretty certain had been laid off as a car sales manager.

So, It's been a fun couple of days. I went and got on with a couple of local school districts as a substitute, and I have an interview lined up tomorrow.

First time since I was 16 I haven't had a job or one lined up.

[Lou]

That sucks. I'm sorry, Sharky.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Sorry Sharky. Good luck dude.

[Fire-Babe]

oh wow. i'm really sorry. i can keep my eyes open for stuff if you want.

[Mikey]

Ah what the Christ...

[Ryan]

That sucks man, good luck with the interview.

[creepy]

Sorry to hear that, Sharky. Good luck.


BTW, Happy Birthday!

[Byrntrigan]

Yeah, sorry to hear that Sharky. I've been there, and it's tough. All the best in getting a new job ASAP.

[Spinch]

I'm sorry, man. My fingers are crossed for you.

Hey, look at the bright side. At least he wasn't replaced by a dishwasher.

[Jack Quinn]

Well I was sort of fired today. I have been the long term sub for a kindergarten class for a month now. Turns out the teacher is going to be out another month. The school thought it might be better to bring in a sub that actually has a certification in elementary education (which I agree with). So after Friday, I am done. I can still sub of course, but it is back to no reliable paychecks again

[Andy]

How do you feel about relocating to Winnemucca?

[Road Warrior Shark]

Do I have to join your club?

Or a Caps fan.

[ALL CAPS]

You don't know that... there's a lot of us now that the bandwagon is moving.

[OpTard]

obviously you should've been better at your job or they woulda gotten rid of someone else to make room for the golf buddy.

clearly all your fault.

[Byrntrigan]

It's a god damn pandemic. I was RIF'd (fancy word for laid off).

This guys is clearly laughing at me for cutting my hair for those asshats.

[Pun]

Look on the bright side. Now you can spend all your time converting Pun's House over to a new server.

[Mr. Dashbee]

Wow, it sucks to hear about multiple people being out of a job. This economy sucks, and I blame credit cards.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you guys.

[salmonjunkie]

Man, this sucks for all you guys. Hope the rest of the year is better.

[Andy]

I know I told the story already, but I got laid off from shitpumping. Who thought the bottom would fall out of that cash cow of an industry!?

Hence Winnemucca. This town rules, by the way. I just got a haircut at an old-timey barber shoppe and a shave with a strait razor. Boy, that's odd to let an old guy you don't know take a blade to your face and just trust him not to slice your throat open and consume your delicious neck innards.

[Lucky]

What's so special about the shave? I mean I agree its kind of cool while also kind of tense but you can get that anywhere. Its 1000x better to get it done in NYC by an Italian immigrant while opera plays because no matter how much you trust the guy you'll have a moment you're CONVINCED you're about to be whacked.

But you can get it at the mall or any regular barber shop with no fear of whacking. And I have old timey barbershops.

Now if you tell me you got your cut for less than $12, THEN I'll be jealous.

Oh yeah, I'm basically unemployed at the moment too. But I was in 2008 already.

[Andy]

It actually was an old Italian immigrant named Louie. And the shave and the haircut was $12 exactly actually. I tossed him a Jackson and told him to keep it because he did a good job I'm a high fuckin' roller these days.

[salmonjunkie]

There was a mexican immigrant in LA I would go to for a haircut and straight razor shaves for $12 too. You're not so special.

[Andy]

I never said I was special. I just never had an old-timey shave and a haircut until just today. I thought it was cool. Guess its not. I'll go shoot myself now.
