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?

my dopey friend louis a fellow lawyer, but a boring transactional one, not a cool court one like me. yes, i am taking liberties with the word "cool".
some of you might not know that in this country land is either registered, in which case proof of ownership is kept at the land registry, or unregistered, in which case it is in the deeds. these are often very old yellowed parchments, hand written with wax seals. and they stink.
lou was ordered to take some deeds home one night and keep them safe for a meeting the next day. bearing in mind these shabby old papers are the proof of ownership to a million pound site, she thought she would stick to one drink on the way home.
she woke up the next morning in bed. the deeds had been replaced by a kebab. yes... she had left the title to a buckinghamshire farm in the kebab house.
she also managed to drop original documents under a tube train en route to court for a colleague, thus shredding them, and to send confidential documents to the other side instead of the client.
oh but wait. she WAS fired.
the same girl was also waiting tables as a student. a man sitting by the door had been asking for his wine for about 30 mins. eventually lou snapped, "it's in the fridge chilling!"
and predictably he snapped, "it's RED WINE!"
she got sacked from there too.
in her most recent job, she walked into work and sat down. after a moment or two she became aware of a stench. the nasty niff persisted all day, and people were giving her desk a wide berth. lou reported it to maintenance, hoping it wasn't a dead rat in the air con or something.
all became clear at 6.00pm when she opened her tesco carrier bag to get out her gym kit. and found herself looking at a stinking sack of rubbish that she'd picked up from outside her house by mistake when she stopped to lock the door. and carried all the way to work on foot.
and yes, her gym kit was in the islington council tip by the time she got home...
oh yeah. she got sacked from there as well!!
