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?

HellDeskingFirst post, so try not to be too harsh.
Started working for a large "British Telecommunications" company after finishing college. After a while, I wangled a position on the web support team (6 people) When I started, there was a rota for the afternoon/sunday shift (Tuesday-Sunday, 1pm-9pm) which I liked to work. (quiet). I managed to convince the manager that I should work this shift permanent as the other team members didn't like it. Why I should have been fired?
Using the huge bandwidth to play Network Quake with the other people in the office
Using the prototype streaming TV to watch the F1 on a Sunday
Using ICQ to chat to people constantly, and telling the manager it was a group of like minded techs so I could get quick responses to questions
Bouncing calls around the office when I didn't fancy talking to anyone (just set the phone to not ready and listen to another phone ring nearby)
Surfing the net continuously through the day (anything and everything)
Playing Online RPG's (not MMORPG, but chat based games) for 4 hours each evening when the phones stopped ringing)
I finally went on sick for 2 months with depression, and when I tried to go back, was told I wasn't really welcome, and that I wasn't fired, but my temp contract had ended so I could sign on straight away.
