I don’t know if you all remember (or care for that matter) but a few weeks ago I managed to rise to the top and keep my job. A new found security, the same salary and more hard work washed over me. The idea of not being sealed in a barrel and thrown over a waterfall was also a bonus.
Well, you know that sound in family fortunes - well play it in your head…………….Now.
It’s all over. The glorious cuntbags closed the whole Dublin office in one fell swoop. They inflated a giant yellow slide our the second floor window and handed us our p45’s and a handful of sticky change from under the coke machine as we flew down it screaming “please my children need dental work doooooooone“.
So I join the great unwashed and head for the dole queue with my cap in hand. I hope to make some new friends down there, Johan the IT specialist, Gervan the dentist, Nuala who has a degree in project management and Russian.

what the fuck? Very sorry to hear that Bro. Pints?
on Nov 19th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
Christ, sorry to hear. And after all that nonsense. What a load of shite. They did the same where I was last year. Would have saved so much bullshit to just close the whole thing down from the start.

Bummer. What a pack of cunts.

You’re joking, aren’t you?

Aren’t you?

Thanks all, No joke at all, what the fuck though. Now I can get back to this daily blogging business. Going to be great.

That is truly shit news man. Really shit. The only advise I can give you is to treat finding a new job like a job. Get up before 11, wash etc..
You’ll survive this though and maybe the donations to Harold’s Attics might pick up too.

Step 1. Giant bag of weed.
Step 2. Buy PS3
Step 3. Bathe in the glory of your Idle days.

Allow me to add my voice to all the sympathists. Don your Michael Douglas in Falling Down replica wig, get out the Mattel science kit and carpet bomb the place. Selfishly, I’m looking forward to the blogging.

Red Rimbaud, I await your great works x

ah christ Red, thats awful news.
what was the fucking point in the redundancies at all, perhaps it was all just a Battle-Royale style social experiment? hope you strip the place of all its fixtures and fittings on the way out.
fuck the lot of them and enjoy the long Christmas break!

Did I hear a murmur about enusing daily postings? Get out of bed, RL, and entertain us.
Have you started your novel yet? I recommend something with vampires in.

Damn you Jo, you are my conscience tugging at my sleeve. But I aint in bed, just in work staring at the screen waiting for Jan 29. But you are right, I should entertain the masses. Watch this space.
on Nov 24th, 2009 at 8:08 pm
That bites.
Sorry, dude.
Hope something comes up.

On the plus side some people love the spare time . . .

Fuck it. Fuck them too. Onto your glory days!
