It's funny because it's true

[Shy Tall Guy]

or so says Homer Simpson. Most of the time I think he is correct. This time I know he is. I discovered this hilarious Flash animation today, and it just rang so true for us laid off dot-com'rs:

It takes a while to load, especially if you have a dial-up connection, but it is worth it and it will prompt you to proceed when it has loaded. The guy who put this up actually is laid off - has been for over 6 months.

I especially like the part about him trying to hit on chicks, his balding and the big "L" (for loser) on his forehead - I can really identify with it.

Have a good laugh - especially if you are living in LOL (Laid Off Land) like me.

Later.

A friend of mine sent me this link a month ago, and it really has some funny stuff. We LOLers need all the laughs we can find!

Yeah well here is another one...

TO: All Employees

FROM: Executive Director

RE: Revised Retirement Policy

As a result of the reduction of money budgeted for the

operation, we are forced to cut down on our number of

personnel.

Under the plan older employees will be asked to go on

early retirement, thus permitting the retention of

younger people who represent our future plans.

Therefore, a program to phase out older personnel by

the end of the fiscal year, via retirement, will be

placed into effect immediately. The program will be

known as RAPE (Retire Aged Personnel Early).

Employees who are raped will be given the opportunity

to look for other jobs outside our company. Provided

they are being raped, they can request a review of

their employment records before actual retirement takes

place. This phase of the operation is called SCREW

(Survey of Capabilities of Retired Early Workers).

All employees who have been raped or screwed may file

an appeal with upper management. This will be called

SHAFT (Study by Higher Authority Following

Termination). Under the terms of the new policy,

employees may be raped once, screwed twice, but may be

shafted as many times as the company deems appropriate.

If an employee follows the above procedure he or she

will be entitled to get HERPES (Half Earnings of

Retired Personnel's Early Severance). As herpes is

considered a benefit plan, any employee who has

received herpes will no longer be raped or screwed by

the company.

I wish to assure the younger employees who remain on

board that the company will continue its policy to

ensure that employees are well trained through our

Special High Intensity Training (SHIT). The company

takes pride in the amount of shit our employees

receive. We have given our employees more shit than any

other company in this area. If any employee feels he or

she does not receive enough shit on the job, see your

immediate supervisor. Your supervisor is especially

trained to make sure that you receive all the shit you

can stand.
