And that's the thanks I gotOn getting screwed over by people for whom you were doing a favour:
I spent several weeks helping my best friend - a complete layabout - with his A-Level computer science project so he wouldn't fail his course. In the end, he did so little work I actually ended up doing the whole thing for him in a half-term week I should really have spent revising for my own exams.
I got back to college to find that while I was hunched over a red-hot BBC Micro, he had spent the week screwing my girlfriend.
Then he didn't bother sitting the exam because "I'm going to fail anyway".
And that's the thanks I got. How have you been screwed over whilst doing someone a favour?

I remember everything...I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday.
I went to work at yet another big shitty company. I was working on another product and (astonishingly for a big shitty company) it was a good product and the work was interesting. I got well into it and even got into the habit of working over lunch on a regular basis in order to get more bits of it working more quickly.
One day, after many weeks of this, I had some stuff to sort out so went into town at the appointed lunch hour.
When I returned, the manager wanted to know why I hadn't been at my desk.
And for the short time after that before I quit, I made damn sure I never worked a single minute between the hours of 13.00 and 14.00, nor between 17.00 and 09.00.
You can probably guess I work for small companies these days.
F%ck big shitty companies, and the cogs that grind within them.
