Crisis, News, Ennui

10:04 AM Marty: Did you get my panicked text?
10:05 AM me: I just looked at it. Busy morning and a drunk night
  What's going to happen?
10:06 AM Marty: Think they're just doing news internally now
10:07 AM me: youch
  so are you done done?
  or are they giving you a week or something?
10:08 AM Marty: A week. And then they said they'll throw me features
 me: wow
  sorry, buddy
  that super stinks
10:09 AM Marty: Ugh...its just shitty timing
  It's like we have a Bundy curse re: jobs in this household
10:10 AM me: do you have an idea what kind of frequency you'll get features?
10:12 AM Marty: Mmm a few a month at max I think. Enough to keep in the game, but not enough to cover the loss. I have to readjust...replan...re-whore-myself-out-for-cash
10:13 AM me: remember craig's list
  and remember the wang shot
 Marty: heh
  So our feature is still on. And we're going to kill it so GR will be all "lets fire everyone but _____ and ______ and make John and Matt our main content providers"
10:14 AM me: ha
10:15 AM do you want to solo the feature? do you want me to ghost write my half so you can get the whole payout?
  i don't mind if you need the cash
 Marty: Absolutely not
  You're doing me a huge solid, so you get half the cash
  thanks for the offer though
10:16 AM me: sure
