  1. Just rolled into work to ask my boss if I can be in the first round of layoffs.

    1. @scribus you want to be laid off?

      1. @leonkfox @extremedash Thing is, I'll be laid off one way or another, sometime between September & December. I don't want to enter the job market over the holidays, and I don't want to quit because I'll lose my severance. So, yeah, asked to get it done sooner rather than later.

        1. @scribus I see, well, best of luck finding another job when the time comes.

          1. @leonkfox Thanks. :) I imagine it won't be too much of a hassle. I mean, yeah, it'll suck, but I can manage.

            1. @scribus I'm sure you will :)

        2. @scribus jeez man that's rough. What's your field of work?

          1. @extremedash Graphic arts/design; specifically, I'm in advertising right now. But, I'm going back to school to become a teacher, so I'm not especially career-minded right now. In fact, I was "supposed" to be a computer programmer when I started this job ~8 years ago.

            1. @scribus Wow that's really cool, do you enjoy teaching?

              1. @extremedash I believe I will. I actually like kids, and I'm kind of a rampant infornography addict... 8p

                1. @scribus Oh god, I misread that in the most disturbing way.

                  1. @starshine I will make my fortune when I develop an inexpensive, mass-produced homunculus to ride on shoulders and point out things like that before people say/post/communicate horrible mistakes.

                  2. @starshine: I laughed entirely too hard.
