I've been fired once.................
Between 2003 and 2005 I was working as a home appraisal photographer........I spent my days on the road, driving all over Southern California taking pictures of houses - seriously! The money was fantastic, couldn't complain at all.

One day, I took the wrong picture of a house - it was in the middle of Compton (yes, Compton near LA) and it was scary just being there. I spotted a vacant lot with what looked like a wendy house, and an actual house next to it.........

My boss (who NEVER checked my work, EVER) decided to do a random check on everyone that day - I should have taken the picture of the Wendy House - not the other house (bear in mind there were no street numbers, you had to go by the land surveryance map (Platt Map for anyone in the US that knows Real Estate)).

He fired me. 4 days before my Wedding!

The next day, he had his wife call me......turns out I was a major asset to the company, and could I start back at work the following day? I said no, I'd come back in 2 weeks after the wedding and the honeymoon.

When I went back to England in the summer, I came back to find the boss had closed up the office, let everyone go, and hadn't even informed me via email.

Even now, the twunt still calls my hubby (they were high school friends) to ask him to change the locks on his new multi-million dollar house! Cunt!
