The headlines on this board are occasionally humorous to me, such as:

"Loud and proud, WLAV back to 100%" right below "Protest Coverage"

We couldn't plan such serendipitous headlines...

Better yet, and not to make too much fun of a typo, but notice that the actual posting is titled:

Portest

Should be Protest.

Perhaps it's in "pour taste" to point out that Protest is spelled wrong? Sorry if it is.


And please forgive my punchiness--I found out yesterday that I'm going to be furloughed in late July, thanks to COVID-related revenue declines. It's really odd when the HR VP, the VP of one's own department, and your own manager all tell you that you better start job hunting. I've not been sleeping very well the last couple of nights. Guess I should try watching some infomercials.

Thus, suffice it to say that I'm seeking humor in everything this week.

Cheers All! ~~ Statmanmi
