Amused while laid off

[stellinacadente]

well... I was walking down the halls of my building to finish up my business before turning my badge in and lay offs were going on...

I thought it was amusing that security guards (armed) were patrolling the halls as well...

man...

Who will guard them when they get laid off?

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Usually they are the last to be laid off, frequently when the building they guard is almost or already empty.

Private security is in high demand in bad times (the police may have layoffs too or skip paying salaries but force the force to work), the few successful are deadly afraid of the angry mob (with good reason...).

Sorry, I was joking. I know it isn't a joking matter.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

I don't think there is something inherently wrong about joking in such circumstances. Even in the most deadly serious circumstances a joke can made all the difference (ask Jon Stewart).

AH, the security guards are just here to keep you from stealing the crappy furniture and writing YOU ALL SUCK in big letters on the walls.

And then THEY'LL get laid off, but they know it's coming, and THEY will rip off the furniture and write on the walls.
Enron's last contingent of security guards took over $50,000 worth of computer stuff and didn't just deface the walls, somebody pulled up the $35,000 worth of expensive flooring in the executive suites...and took out a couple of very expensive antiques, some solid oak desks and 500 linear feet of silk brocade draperies.

Oh, and the Enron security guys also poured acid all over the marble floors in the executive restrooms, with a message reading "F**k You Kenny Boy!" repeated over and over... (My friend said that the acid was really bad for his shoes, but he didn't care.)

Hilarious!



_{I almost hope that happens to Howie, but that means I'd be out of a job, too.}

I hope you aren't getting laid off!

The sound of U-Hauls backing up to the back door....
Stops tellin the secrets man!    boy if they ever lay me off it is so on-- first thing that happens is the golf carts go in the fish pond---
Oh wait
the darn things don't run so we walk-- it's miles y'all not feet-- i gots me 15 buildings to check a night- I seriously want a Segway then I could actually ride in the buildings too. Yes, I am a naughty security officer- god at least it is better than dispatch all the time. We have figured out how to play DVD's on the huge screen at the business building however- they think locking the thing works- HA.

maybe the fish pond is a good place for them.

I don't want anyone to be laid off right now.
