Strike Over, Back to Work

Today the unpopular, rarely-read blog "Shorts Below Freezing" caved to the demands of it's sole employee, blog author Remus Thirty after just over two years of intense negotiation. Thirty had been on strike, refusing to write new entries unless "Shorts Below Freezing" would agree to an employee benefits package including:
  • Unrestricted access to tasty cereals
  • A 22% pay raise, pre-tax (from $0.00 per hour to $0.00 per hour)
  • The best health insurance program that 15% of the new wage could afford
  • Cigarette breaks for employees who smoke (Thirty does not)
  • Video games (this demand was concise, yet vague in its intended implementation)
  • Some nachos
  • A larger reader base
As of this date, all of the above demands have been met, except for the final one. Thirty expressed a willingness to negotiate finally, and returned to work in spite of a complete lack of interest or demand. Watch this blog for updates now appearing with greater frequency than one every two years.
