| ______________________________________ [Apr 27,2005 7:21pm - the_reverend ""] heh, my boss is a super cool guy though and he's build his one personal website from code I gave him from RttP. mostlikely, I will not get laid off, but it might happen. |
| ______________________________________________ [Apr 27,2005 7:22pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] Pray to Satan that you'll be part of the 666- not layed off? |

| ______________________________________ [Apr 27,2005 7:25pm - the_reverend ""] you know what's funny, people think that RttP is my full time job. yeah, like I could live off $100 a year. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 27,2005 7:28pm - succubus ""] christ enough typos? you barely touched your glass unlike me.. also..like i said, look elsewhere ..where is yor resume?? i'm supposed to update it |
| ______________________________________________ [Apr 27,2005 7:28pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] You could start retroactively charging everyone $10 for the RTTP compilation. |
| ______________________________ [Apr 27,2005 7:28pm - Mary ""] Didn't you get repremanded for messing around online at work, or something? I hope that they don't use that as a reason to make you part of the 33%. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 27,2005 7:30pm - the_reverend ""] nope, with the project I just completed, they should be giving me a lot.... plus I took all these pictures for them for some training book. |

| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2005 2:30am - the_reverend ""] I picture them in business suits |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 28,2005 7:05am - SUBJUGATE ""] the_reverend said:nope, with the project I just completed, they should be giving me a lot.... plus I took all these pictures for them for some training book. probly the training book they are going to use for the new office temp people who they will bring in at 1/2 the pay and no benifits. this is a typical senerio , if you see lots of people being replaced by office temps from an agency when someone leaves for another job it is time to start looking, cause that is the writing on the wall of a layoff. usually they wait till they have enough temps in before cutting thats what they did here a few years back |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 28,2005 7:19am - davefromthegrave ""] when you quit, remember to steal as much shit as you can. Adn I'm not just talkign about good expensive shit, like computers, office furniture, and electronics. You've gotta get you rmoney's worth. Every goddamn stapler, pen and pencil, pencil sharpener, toilet paper, whips chains whistles dildos etc., take it all. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 28,2005 8:21am - the_reverend ""] I guess it\'s only 30% |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 28,2005 8:50am - largefreakatzero ""] See when my work pulls shit like that, they refer to it in the PC term - RIF (Reduction In Force). I suppose that's supposed to make it better for the people who got fucked? |
| ______________________________________ [May 3,2005 12:50am - the_reverend ""] oh and they announced it right before "bring your kid to work" day... or as I like to call it "bring your kid to where you used to work" day |
| _______________________________________ [May 3,2005 9:59am - destroyyoualot ""] davefromthegrave said: whips chains whistles dildos etc., take it all. George Carlin quote bust! (Seriously, anybody here have "You're All Diseased"? Amazing, that man just gets angrier and angrier the older he gets...) the_reverend said:oh and they announced it right before "bring your kid to work" day... or as I like to call it "bring your kid to where you used to work" day Maybe they're gonna try and hire all your kids at 1/3 the pay. I mean, seriously, China knows what it's doing! |
| _______________________________________ [May 13,2005 11:42am - the_reverend ""] I'm still here! |
| ________________________________________ [May 13,2005 11:44am - Joe/NotCommon ""] and you can post again? |
| _________________________________ [May 13,2005 11:49am - retzam ""] Congrats man. |
| _______________________________________ [May 13,2005 11:50am - the_reverend ""] well, they have yet to lay anyone off... also, this happened today. it's about a 20 minute walk from my condo over a bridge: http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/05/13/base.closings.list.ap/index.html Portsmouth Navel Shipyard closure. |

| ___________________________________ [May 16,2005 1:48pm - Al_Ravage ""] wait, I see that has already been suggested |
| ___________________________________ [May 16,2005 1:58pm - ~Carina~ ""] judging by the fact you didn't email me any funny goings on...i'm gonna say yer safe |
| ______________________________ [May 16,2005 2:24pm - cdan ""] saturate RTTP with pop-ups and banner ads, and start charging a monthly membership fee. |
