Uh Oh

I think my Dad just got fired. Not good.

[cacturnerules]

What/who did he work for?

And what do you mean "I think"?

[KingKomali]

That is not good....not at all...

[HylianHero92]

IBM (you know, computers and stuff)

I say "I think" because my mom said something about them "Letting him go". I asked if that meant he was officially fired and she said "probably". We don't know yet.

[cacturnerules]

then it's a very good thing your mom recently got a job.

[darkphantomime]

Tough times for the economy, mate.

[HylianHero92]

then it's a very good thing your mom recently got a job.

Very good is a huge overstatement. Her job doesn't pay much. Not that much at all. Not enough for the whole family. My dad needs to find another job. Quickly.


...........


But I don't even know if he's been fired yet, so let's not jump to conclusions.

[Zelda Veteran]

Whoa...
Thats bad.
Really bad...
I have something else I wanted to say recently, but now... that doesn't seem like the best idea... wow...

[KingKomali]

Shoot man, if it is that bad you are ever welcomed to live over my garage. You'll be just like Fonzee

[MagmarFire]

If it weren't for the fact that food is under lock and key, it's likely no one would have this particular problem...

Sorry 'bout this, man. I hope you guys can nab another one soon if worst comes to worst.

Though I do find it a bit ironic that IBM's following the mainstream business cycle and not defying the bad economy like other information-technology-based businesses are...

[Twilight Wolf]

Sorry to hear about this, man, that really sucks. If your mom's got a job, though, and your dad's getting a severance package (or, at least, he should be), you guys should be okay for a while. You'll probably have enough time for your dad to find another job. Trust me, I know what it's like to have a parent out of a job. You'll pull through.

[HylianHero92]

Well it's official. He's been fired. But it really isn't that bad. I'm sure he'll find a new job soon.

But I already live in your garage.......

Yeah man, this really sucks. Alot of places are "letting people go" and there isn't much hiring these days due to our wonderful economy...


And my dad, who works for Wachovia security and he said they fired a bunch of people. Thankfully, he's higher up in the business.

Well thanks a lot! My Dad was really high up in the business. I'm pretty sure he got in an argument with his boss though. I've been hearing lots of fights coming from his office when he's on the phone for the past few weeks.

[cacturnerules]

Well thanks a lot!

What do you mean by that?
