Exactly. They wanted to highlight the dumb “sleeper” line for some reason, even though it’s probably the least newsworthy part of the message. “Geek Squad faces huge layoffs, members call it ‘going sleeper’” is much clearer but still a waste of time and space.

I’m very good at wasting time and space effectively.

Hey I just downed a big bag of sour gummies and popcorn watching movies at home... If I keep this up I'll challenge anyone for more wasted space!
