I flounced from the Odeon
I was a lowly Haagan dazs seller for the Odeon Leicester Sq and only took the job as I got free entry to all the cinemas in Leicester Sq. I'd been there 2 weeks when I was given a letter - on Valentines day no less - to say that they weren't going to keep me on as my timekeeping was appalling. Feeling a bit miffed about that I went in the next day for my shift and asked for some tickets to Casino Royale which was showing at a neighbouring cinema. I was told that as my contract was being terminated with 10 days to go I wasn't able to take advantage of their free offer any longer.

I wrote my resignation on a napkin, presented it to the floor walker nazi, grabbed my bag and a 2kg tub of icecream and walked out.

Oddly enough I never got a P45 from them.

Surely
That was all your own fault?
I mean, you were rubbish at turning up on time (I assume they were justified).

valentines day
why was it harsher on Valentine's Day?

Over, say Mother's Day, or Father's Day.

@mrgibbles
or Celebration-of-the-workers Day, for example.

@haberman
Or national time-keeping day, as that would have been, quite frankly, hideously ironic.

I never said
It wasn't my own fault. It was their decision to not pay me for the work I'd done for them, so felt justified in taking their icecream as compensation.

I have gotten a lot better at timekeeping though.

My flatmate
rarely leaves the house before the time he's supposed to be at work.

I have no idea how he still has a job.
