I loved that Job too!
I have only been unemployed once, this was a few years back and even thinking back to my old job hurts. Let me tell you the tale of how I lost it.

I once worked for the tourist board. Take the piss about it being a mind numbing job if you want- I don’t give a toss as I enjoyed it. I worked my way through the ranks and eventually got to be the main representative for the whole company. I was allowed to go places I had never heard of to promote our place and also got a company car too (I never aspired to much). What I didn’t realise was that the good times weren’t going to last- mainly thanks to a woman who used to live near me, L.

L was a bit of an odd girl. She would be a bit more boisterous than any of the other women I knew and her behaviour today would be classed as a ‘ladette’ – despite the fact that she looked pretty feminine she could kick ass if needed and had a fiery temper. L had worked alongside me in the tourist board one summer at the start of my career. I had chose to do this full time and she had needed something temporary to fill the gap during a break in her training. During the time I spent with her, I learnt that L had been brought up by parents that taught her to challenge the system, fight against the government etc, etc the usual hippy rebellious crap.

Anywhoo in the few years since I saw her it turned out that L had become pretty notorious and had developed a criminal record (This was all accusations as she had managed to evade arrest for quite a while). Her luck couldn’t hold out forever and eventually and she was caught by the authorities on her way back home with stolen government property (Nothing too serious, just some paperwork allegedly). We had heard that L was being interviewed locally about all sorts of crap by one of the higher up officials and would probably be up in court over various charges sometime later.

What we didn’t know was that the government had other plans and decided to use our lovely planet as a test for their new space station ( I thought it was just a moon-I had new brochures printed and everything).

So ended my employment as head of Alderaan Tourist board

Didn't even get the initial.
