The one for when somebody gets axed from their job because of their weblog? The name of the first person to get dumped on like that became the term for having it done to you. What's that word?
Well, whatever the hell the word is, it happened to 8 Z E R O 8. His is one of the blogs I found on that click exchange thing. What was the name of that thing? Damn, I'm bad with names today.
Anyway, he made it to the blogroll because he was funnier than me. For all of you who didn't know it, that's the only real requirement to get on my blogroll - just be more entertaining than me. Seriously, if I can entertain myself better than you can entertain me, what do I need you for? And remember, masturbation is entertainment so you have to be able to beat that. No pun intended.
Anywho...Somebody at his work ratted him out and they fired him. And that sucks big, huge amounts of vacuum.
Go visit, commiserate, spread the word, help him find a job, and click on his GoogleAds (no tipjar over there).
Dooced. After Dooce.
Bummer. That's bad luck. There's a guy who used to work for Waterstone's (where I used to work) who had the same thing happen to him. Lots of bad press for the company... not much help to the chap in question, though.
Thanks for the kind words.
I really wonder what the grounds are for that? ZERO, did they say why your blog constituted grounds for firing? According to one of my friends who happens to be an attorney, it's apparently somewhat difficult for an employer to fire someone these days for anything less than subpar performance. I'll talk to him and see what the deal is with this kind of stuff.
Fucked up......I blogged on it,too.
Addendum -
I. Dooce=somewhat of a hottie. And a wicked smart writer. Too bad I'm in love with another woman, but I think Dooce can handle it.
II. I need to go through the old blog and maybe cull some key identifiers from the prose. Getting fired would suck b-yalls.
Yep, Dooce rawks. She still gets calls from MSM about it, too.
But that totally sucks and blows 8zero8. Totally. And I pity the fucker that ratted you out. Baaaad karma. And it will come back on him/her threefold. Trust me.
