Greenville South Carolina delivers us another asshole.
Last year some of you may remember the epicly awesome internetz adventures featuring the one and only George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina. Well, his time is over and another twatwaffle gets the spotlight. Chelsea Ruff of Tupulo Mississippi who used to live in Greenville South Carolina fired a woman for being homeless.
A Tupelo woman hired earlier this month by a KFC was fired Monday after the franchise owner discovered she’s homeless.Eunice Jasica has been staying at the Salvation Army lodge since early December after losing her job, her car and her home.The nonprofit organization requires its residents to seek employment daily and, upon finding it, to pay for lodging and start saving for a place of their own. Jasica said she had been job hunting for months and was relieved to find work on March 11 at the KFC on North Gloster Street.
A document signed by that location’s general manager on March 12 confirms Jasica had been hired to perform “prep work” and would receive a paycheck every two weeks.
But when Jasica reported for duty Monday, franchise owner Chesley Ruff withdrew the job offer upon learning she lived at the Salvation Army.
“He told me to come back when I had an address and transportation,” Jasica recalled. “But how am I supposed to get all that without a job?”
After the story hitting the internet quite hard (on a George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina scale) Chelsea Ruff of Tupulo Mississippi (who used to live in Greenville South Carolina) backtracked and said she was fired due to job inexperience and being too old for the job. Now Chelsea Ruff of Tupulo Mississippi (who used to live in Greenville South Carolina) has his nards in hot water due to age discrimination.
Way to keep poor people poor. 
Saturday Open Thread
I feel like I haven’t been writing much lately. I’ve been active in other things, just not here like I usually am. Yesterday was my 2nd day off (my 1st one being on Tuesday), so I feel like I’ve been a bit all over the place. Not because of work, just because of a lot of stuff. Animating/gaming/new forum banner for Slackers. The list goes on.
I will say that it’s cool to finally see some of my fellow mates checking out TF2. We’re starting to look like quite the motley crew. 😆
I think when I get home tonight I’ll be doing some eating, some SFM and some TF2.
XBox gives you American citizenship!
Did your green card expire? If you have an XBox live account that’s more than proof!
Muñoz had an Xbox Live account and, with it, had downloaded demos and games and communicated with other Xbox users. “He sent me the proof of this that had his address, his account information and proof of all the games he had downloaded or purchased since 2007. It worked perfectly to establish that he’s been here continuously,” Odrcic said.
Social networking at it’s finest.
Facebook makes people do the strangest things.
Police identified the intruder as an 18-year-old University of Georgia student because she left her Facebook page on the computer’s screen in her haste to leave the home.The 33-year-old resident was upset over the intrusion, but even more distraught because the unwanted visitor urinated on her couch, police said.
This is just creepy.
Big brother is watching you…
Sure, the GPS on your phone or dedicated device can get you from Point A to Point B on the interstate, frustrating “Calibrating … calibrating …” moments aside.But a new move in mobile tech is seeing startups who want to help you find the store you’re looking for in the mall, turn around when you’re getting farther from your terminal at the airport or figure out where your friends are in an expansive convention hall.
Early Morning Open Thread
I’ve been keeping a bit of a low profile the last couple of days. I was feeling a bit sick. That and the internet went out (good timing since I didn’t really feel like using it) last night, so I mainly just slept until I felt better.
I learned something…
Apparently if I’m playing Team Fortress 2 on my laptop and I forget to plug into power I can get a good 45 minutes in on highest settings with all of the eyecandy turned up, and still have leftover power for pr0n. 
It’s a laptop fit for an overlord. 
Old Uru
Been in a bit of a nostalgic mode of late. I have access to my old Until Uru server and plan on filming some of the strangeness that used to go on there. Should be fun.
