Shacknews LoL

Today was cancelled, because the moron brother in law with 5 kids thought he caught his wife's "cold," realized he couldn't smell gasoline when filling up his car after going to the movies, and then went to my parents in laws house because he and his family had no COVID tests. He then tested positive at their house. He's also a special education teacher, so he may have exposed his students too. This is also the same brother in law who didn't vaccinate his kids, one who has severe asthma, because they thought the vaccine could be bad for the kid with asthma, as if the virus itself would somehow be better. Now we're just waiting to see how many family members he managed to infect.

How was your day at work??

Big office meeting today. 12 of us cramped into the conference room. Big boss talking about how we’re losing two of our major staff members (law firm) and how we need to pull together and tighten up and how we need to step up our collections and be more like our “Indian Jew over here” (pointing to me as an effort to compliment me on my ability to collect on our legal bills)

Not missing a beat during the awkward pause that followed, the second in command follows up with “but can he be bothered to get of his damn phone during this meeting”

My follow up was me giving her a death stare followed by me slowly raising my empty hands (big boss was sitting next to me and saw my empty lap) and saying “wrong about the phone and not really sure about how the bigoted comment helps the meeting, but let’s continue with pulling together”

So my day was great.

BRIEF DUMP

Hey Shackers,

Some of you may be wondering how Shacknews Mercury has been going. Revenues from the first day and a half of our subscription service are three times of the total advertising revenue we received in the entire year of 2017.

Thanks to all of our subscribers!

My company laid off 46% of their employees today, and this was after laying off 40% earlier this year. We're down to under 40 people. I was employee number 33 in 2017, at one point we had over 200. This market is rough. I'm glad to still have my job, but I'm seriously going to miss a lot of the people they let go. I'm curious what percentage of companies have had layoffs since 2023. How is everyone else's company doing? Do you feel secure in your future employment or are you worried about shit hitting the fan in the near future?

Anyone in the market for a 2023 Acura Integra? A-Spec technology package with 6-speed manual. Only 5000 miles, garage kept.

TFW your therapist recommends getting out of your marriage immediately and getting a lawyer and not moving out

:(

Today I walked along a stretch of beach in Normandy just outside a tiny village near Dieppe and found this amazing WW2 bunker that had fallen off the cliff and into the sea but stayed whole!

It's enormous but it was hard to really get the scale to come across in the photos.

Over 300 kids, ran out of candy, had to close shop early 0_o

Most kids ever

Art the Clown was a huge hit though, I just stood still in my doorway with the porch light on holding the black garbage bag of candy, then when people got close I'd honk the Clown horn, gave it away at the end of the night to one kid who kept coming back.

Kids yelling from down the street 'It's Art, it's Art!', 8 year olds (lol) 'mommy mommy it's Terrifier!' lots of people getting selfies with it, grown teenagers walking up the driveway, looking up, seeing me and then running away looking over their shoulders until they were at least a few houses away.

Good stuff, great night, first time I dressed up, I think the kids got a kick out of it.

Happy Halloween!!!
