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?

At the time, I could have been far worse...I spent 12 months working in London for a tiny mining consultancy firm as a junior consultant.
During those 12 months, I probably did the equivalent of a month's actual work. I spent most of my days playing games online or making up excuses to walk down the road and go shopping.
When both the partners were away on business once, I didn't bother going in. I diverted the office phone to my mobile and stayed at home watching re-runs of Sharpe and ordering Chinese on expenses.
When I handed in my resignation letter, it gave me even less incentive to do any work. They made me stay an extra 2 weeks after the date my contract terminated to train the next person. I was given a full months pay and a grand bonus for doing so.
In my current position for a multinational IT firm, the only vaguely naughty thing I do is read B3ta when I have nothing to do.
