RadioShack slashes 403 jobs via e-mail

FORT WORTH — About 400 RadioShack Corp. headquarters employees received an e-mail this morning notifying them that they had been let go, effective today, as new Chairman and Chief Executive Julian Day seeks to slash costs and restore earnings growth at the electronics retailer.

There was this great scene in The Naked Gun that had Lt Frank Drebbing giving a speech and then heading to the restroom with the mic still on, the crowd hearing every little thing, and nothing but hilarity ensues.

Well, turns out CNN anchor Kyra Phillips did the same thing.  You don’t hear anything but conversation about guys (go figure), but it’s still pretty amusing something like this would happen on a national level.

Dear Baggy –

I haven’t seen the LittlePastor make a comment on BON in a while, and I think I put it all together …  Is he Terry Hornbuckle by chance?

Thanks,
Jessie

Dear Jessie –

I have to admit your email had me laughing pretty hard, but no, the LittlePastor is not Terry Hornbuckle.  I don’t know the guy personally, and I actually have never seen him, but if you are interesting in his musings, then check out his blog.  The link should be on the sidebar.

Yours truely,
Keith ‘BagOfNothing’ Geeding

 

This story reminds me of an old joke my dad use to like to tell.  Something about students that attend the Sam Houstin Institute of Technology, the ol’ S.H.I.T.  Of course that place doesn’t exist, but it gives me a little chuckle.
