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?

A work colleague...
...just told me this tale.
Many moons ago a patient absconded from a Mental Health ward in the Midlands. He and a colleague were dipatched via taxi to where the patient was - Blackpool police station. This on a Sunday (time and 2/3) at Overtime rates (double time). When they arrive in Blackpool, the Taxi driver says by law he needs an hours break before driving back. Quick clinical decision is made - they dont want to be wandering round for an hour with a patient, so where to kill an hour ????
Cue 2 trained nurses spending an hour on Blackpool Pleasure Beach at Sunday Overtimne rates.
The NHS - Your taxes being spent sensibly.
