@jaybird Thanks - laid off after 25 yrs - quite the blow. If anyone needs one of the top telecom expense managers in the country, Im the guy. I squeeze $ from carriers like water from a sponge
@jaybird yep - looking into an LLC actually - I delivered over $26 million back to my former company in 24 yrs, prying it penny by penny out of the telco’s. No cut in those savings of course, but moving forward, I am going to ensure there is a fee.
@baqui63@jaybird believe it or not, several of us still lurk somewhere in a weird corner of the internet after all these years. alas…also have to work tomorrow. cheers, jay!
And the Irks STILL managed to sell out too soon. Wish they’d said quantity was limited so we weren’t all waiting to make sure we wanted $100 worth of what came up.
@raive I’m pretty sure there was a time limit that also said “or until sold out” on the sidedeal page before the sellout. I remember checking to see if it was unlimited.
@medz@raive Yes, the famous 23 hour grift. You got 'em. Definitely just wasn’t a test to see if people wouldn’t spend $100 on junk to get $50 in other junk that failed miserably for 23 of 24 hours.
I actually bought something I need - a standing desk. Now to find a job…
@jmhsrv good luck on the search.

@jmhsrv sounds like you’ve experience to be a consultant… complete with consulting FEES

@jmhsrv I would love to see your old company hire your LLC for consulting, and then pay you your equivalent year’s salary in fees.
@jaybird @jmhsrv probably more than that salary, and as one client of many!
Yes, a lot of overpriced junk much more cleverly disguised to sell $50 irks that definitely “sold out” 23 hours into the ruse, I mean “event”.
LMAO at any troglodyte actually whining that the IRK “sold out”.
@meh Resorting to namecalling because you couldn’t get one either? It’s okay to cry, buddy. Let it all out.
@meh Hi!
Didn’t think you graced us peasants with your presence anymore. How’ve you been?
@jaybird Heyo, been a minute but I’m aight and as cranky as ever. How’re you?
@raive Yes, much like you, I failed to buy a $50 IRK for 23 hours. Sigh.
@meh cranky? You? Nooooooo…lol. I’m well. The kid is almost 11…I feel old…
@meh It’s ok. I believe in you. You’ll manage to get one someday
@raive Believing in yourself is the first step
@jaybird Kids…how do they work!? We’re all getting old homie, but not as old as @baqui
@meh I believe you mean @baqui63
@baqui63 @jaybird 63!? i’m too old for this shit.
@jaybird @meh Hi JTB!
My younger one is 27 and the older, 29 and a mommy since August 20, 2021.
@baqui63 @meh congrats grandpa. Look, almost a third of the gang is here
@baqui63 @jaybird believe it or not, several of us still lurk somewhere in a weird corner of the internet after all these years. alas…also have to work tomorrow. cheers, jay!
@baqui63 @meh goodnight meh. I often wonder if that weird corner still exists. I’ll have to try and find it again sometime.
And the Irks STILL managed to sell out too soon. Wish they’d said quantity was limited so we weren’t all waiting to make sure we wanted $100 worth of what came up.
@raive they probably only sold 10 IRKs. All part of the grift.
@raive I’m pretty sure there was a time limit that also said “or until sold out” on the sidedeal page before the sellout. I remember checking to see if it was unlimited.
