[The Feral Slasher]

I was layed off in 1995. Almost layed off a time or two after that. About 15% of my co workers getting laid off next week. Just awful especially with the current situatuon

I hear you - our department will be cut by about 40%, others have had similar cuts, with two being eliminated altogether. Looks like I'll make it through, but it'll be brutal at the end of the month for a lot of people.

We had to put our dog to sleep today. She was 12 years old, and her arthritis had progressed to the point where she was in constant pain. Last few days she was on the max dose of painkillers and it still wasn't enough
So it was time to go, but it is a sad day.

[Bene Futuis]

So crushing. Sorry, man. Dogs are family.

Sorry to hear that. Losing a pet is so tough

[Kevin Seitzer]

Thanks, guys.

[Controller Jacobs]

Yeah sorry to hear. Glad she got to be with you guys.

I enjoyed VD more than fantasy, though.

My boss at my last pre-baseball employer complained about me spending too much time on VD spreadsheets. That should have been a sign to me about where my heart was, but it took several more years to make the move.

That’s funny. I used to do the same at one employer, a major national CPA firm, but I’m pretty sure my boss had no idea what I was doing or what it was. Good thing it was a spreadsheet!

Did your boss know it was non-business related?

Oh man, sorry about your dog. My dog died almost a year ago, he just collapsed and died right in front of us at a park. It was horrible.

Jesus, man. Really sorry to hear that! Sounds awful.


I had to put down two dogs essentially back to back a few years ago. First one, a sweet black lab, got pancreatitis and wasn't eating. Normally pancreatitis isn't fatal but the fucking moron veterinarian office we went to essentially ignored any diagnosis until it was too late. It was very frustrating. Then, only a few weeks later, my enormous wolf dog who had hip issues for years after getting hit by a car when he was young was having a really tough time walking at all. We also found a tumor on his throat that rapidly grew to the size of a grapefruit in just a couple weeks. He was all kinds of messed up and we had to put him down like two days before we left to travel around the world for 6.5 months. I felt so guilty and had a hard time shaking the feeling that I'd put him down for my own convenience. Of course it was an irrational feeling given the circumstances but the timing of that one really sucked.

George Carlin once said that when you get a dog you are "purchasing a tragedy" because you inevitably outlive them. Man, I feel that one super bad. Still, it's worth it to have these awesome, loving creatures in your life.

Thank you. Tragic. Carlin is right. But ultimately, it's still worth it.

What platform do you guys play red dead 2 on? I was thinking of getting it but I'd rather be able to do some train robbery or something after I've gotten the hang of the single-player.
