It has nothing to do with balls or blenders, unfortunately, but I have news.
I found out this morning that my former company, the one I left right after this nodermeet, on Halloween 2005, it is no more! My old boss sold it yesterday. He sold all the accounts, domain names, and equipment, all for probably next-to-nothing.
When I left it was a revolving door of web designers ever since. His knack for having almost no respect for other human beings other than himself made sure that most of them didn't last longer than 48 hours, some of them lasted less than 2. Few lasted a significant period of time. Anyway, me leaving, at least I think, was the beginning of the end. And when another guy (who works with me here now) left six months ago, who was pretty much keeping the company afloat, when he left it really WAS the end. Most people (me and other former Inmates) were surprised that it'd lasted this long.
Guess what my former boss is doing now? Selling electric bicycles for a ridiculous mark-up. Yes that's right, I said electric bicycles. Good luck with that!
So, seeya later, Crap-pages! Now maybe its clients will get some real service now. Like, they won't be cussed out over the phone on a semi-regular basis anymore. Yes, you read that correctly. Oh, dude, do I have stories from that place, seriously! You have no idea.
