Hard Times

There is a beautiful myth that surrounds poverty. Unfortunately it is only apparent when you have money.

For those of you that follow the daily posts of the site, you may have noticed a lull in activity lately. Recently the Artcompactor has been forced to make some very difficult decisions and as a result I had to lay myself off. Its nothing personal, in fact it is entirely based upon the economics of this institution. In the best interest of the company, I was forced to look at the areas that are the biggest drain on this institution and it turned out it was me.The decision was not made without careful consideration. Not only have I been with Artcompactor since the beginning, but I am the sole contributor. The loss will be felt across all departments and, nondisclosure agreements aside, there is a wealth of information and ideas that will never be reconciled or brought to light as a result of the recent action.

In light of the recent lay-offs, artcompactor has devised a strategy to get the company back into the black by short selling stock, defaulting on a number of loans, embarking upon an aggressive lending scheme targeting returning war verterans whom find themselves in debt and upside down on their mortgage, submitting a request for a bailout, filing taxes twice… possibly a third time with a deceased persons social security number (this requires a small upfront investment) and creating a brand new position for an intern (which I intend to apply for myself - crossing my fingers).

Construction on hold
