"Um...hello Mr. Pot. My name is Mr. Kettle"

More news from Tyler Gifts...

Apparently a memo went around recently announcing that the entire staff would soon be required to attend some kind of presentation about sexual harassment. Knowing that these guys would never do anything that costs money unless there was some sort of court order involved, I have to think somebody must have finally pressed some sort of charges.

But what would they ever have to claim?

Maybe the fact that Matt regularly makes comment about Carly's huge breasts without any concern about who might hear. Including Carly.

The fact that Franz threw a fit when IT dumped the trash file of his e-mail because that's where he keeps all is porn.

It's no secret that Matt takes regular business trips AND personal vacation time to go to Thailand to have sex with little boys.

So much to choose from. The question is, are they having the lecture to help clear their own guilty consciences or so that the rest of the staff can learn to harass like they do?

The foundation is crumbling

You may remember Vicki from a previous post. I received word today that she is no longer with the company because the powers that be continue to slow-pay their freelancers. Freelancers depend on the money they earn to come quickly so they can live, you morons! If you don't pay them, they can't stay - it just can't be done.

What amazes me is that Vicki was a freelancer who worked on making sure the catalogs got designed on time -- the catalog being the breead an butter of A CATALOG COMPANY. Maybe it's just me, but I always said that no matter how tight money got, I always paid two bills on time: my rent/mortgage, and my car. One is a basic necessity of life, the other takes you to work so you can make money so you can keep the house. Tyler has basically stopped making it's car payment.

Borrowed time, idiots. Borrowed time.

I love Karen, but I couldn't recommend her new freelancers in good conscience. I wish her luck, but at the same time, I hope they don't find anybody to fill Vicki's shoes. I can't think of anything better for the people there and the world in general than for that place to shut the hell down. Keep an eye on the deathclock. If they make it to zero, I'll be VERY surprised.
