This is a question Why should you be fired from your job?

I spent three years "working" in the Ministry of Agriculture carefully crafting projectiles out of folded paper and drawing pins that I would then fire at colleagues with an elastic band. On discovering I'd been conducting all-out warfare when I should really have been in a field counting cows, I was asked to "reconsider my career options" outside the service.

Why, then, should you be fired from your job?

I work in the warehouse of a certain high-street retailer (the one which is also a fashion label and sells overpriced tat)
it's not a bad job, but the management have jargonised absolutely everything under the sun (we're not employees, we're 'associates'; it's not a warehouse, it's a 'Processing Centre' - you get the idea) and every week our department has a Team Briefing.

As I'm part of the temporary staff, I have no idea what the fuck the people doing the briefing are blithering on about, so I just switch off and look at the furniture for 15 minutes, letting my mind wander onto other things, reducing that lisping voice to background noise and trying to ignore the growing pain in my feet.

Every week I cross my fingers and hope they're never going to give us a written test about the contents of these briefings.
