Casey's Gone

It seems that his firing is for real. This may be the first time in history that Casey has managed to actually throw himself under the bus, though clearly there has been collateral damage to his various associates.

Information we have received suggest that the idea to engage the Haterz™ was entirely his, and was done before he received any permission or even discussed it with his boss. She was dragged in to his world with no prior understanding of what was about to happen, no opportunity to evaluate whether it was a good idea, or even the chance to research what had happened to everybody else who had become a known associate of Casey's, as has been thoroughly documented on Caseypedia™.

As has been noted by others, Casey started two personal blogs last month: BloggerCasey which was all about him, and his boss's blog, which in the end also turned out to be all about him. He sold her a bill of goods and she's paying for it.

As Nigel noted the other day on CHC: "Casey's problem is he blogged about it. He reached out to key people like WWTF and others to make sure everybody knew he was coming back. He went on the talkcast and brought Angel with him. He created BloggerCasey and opened comments. Haterz didn't do any of this. This was all his doing."

Casey is poison because he can't turn off the "I/ME" switch in his head that makes him convinced that every project he's involved in has to involve him as the frontman. As a result, he ends up sabotaging everything he touches.

Our advice to him: Recognize that 99.9% of what you do in the world is not about you. It's about getting stuff done for somebody else. Keep your own name out of it. For everybody else's sake, if not your own.

And that's the view from FalseCasey HQ, where the sun finally came out this afternoon.

Silence

There's been nothing new since our boi Casey was apparently taken out to the woodshed by his short-sale specialist boss, sometime late last week.

All that has happenned is that he has removed pretty much all comments from her blog as well as his BloggerCasey fiasco, and shut up completely.

We think this is not over here, but who knows? He mentioned something about a financial decision that needed to be made soon, and we suspect that he's running scared. Perhaps he's caught between the desire to blog free and the need to have a paycheck this month. In which case, we say "welcome to the real world Casey," as this is the kind of choice pretty much all of us need to make from time to time.

We strongly suspect that his role has been clarified as "office assistant who also managed the blog and replaces toner cartridges," not "full-time blogger and comment moderator."

Eventually he'll break out. He can't stand not having the publicity.

And we're waiting, watching the blogs (with scripts blocked, of course) and biding our time.

And that's the way it is at FalseCasey HQ, where things are really slow today.

Casey Looking for New Internetz

From TrueCasey's twitter this morning:

Some difficulties this morning... Should be able to get going within an hour or two

FalseCasey's Translation: My internet access at home has been cut off, so I have to find someplace with a free hotspot to blog from.

We may update our opinion on this matter, but for now, that's the picture from TrueCasey Headquarters, where we note a hurricane heading towards New Orleans, and GSPG not doing much.
