    Just got fired this morning. It's a good thing though, that job was destroying me and my marriage so I'm just relieved that I'm finally free. Now I have the time to look for an IT job which is what I was looking when I came to UK. Don't ask why I didn't leave sooner, it's too complicated... Thank you for "listening", without knowing you've been a great help distracting my mind sometimes. :)

                Hmm, not sure about that. I'm sure I read about some FA fella saying we should stick with him because it wasn't his fault, see here[^] I think he should go. Anyone who takes off Defoe and brings on Heskey when we need to score goals just needs his head looking at. :)

                  I was working in a mental institute where the mental people are my bosses... To give you a taste of it, a conversation I had with my boss this morning: Boss: "One fax came this morning, did you see it?" Me: "No, I didn't. Nothing came through this morning." Boss: "Yes, it did. I saw last night!" Don't ask me how she saw a fax was coming this morning last night...

                      Ahhh. Abilities to see into the future, I have worked at places where this ability is needed. These jobs almost always require mind reading skills too.

                          The trick to taking it well is a steak dinner. Most people choose alcohol but that is a depressant. Foods with high protein and high fat just make you feel good. With regard to your new search, good luck. The jobs are out there.

                                Getting fired from a job you don't want is a good experience I suppose. Steak dinner is not a bad idea :thumbsup:

                                        Don't worry: getting fired is not really a bad thing; it's a bit like divorce without the alimony and emotional baggage. Good luck finding something more suitable.
