lol, flavor, that's Ridikulus.
Also, did you join your current job right out of high school? Or a few years after?

Also, if anyone asks me, I'm going to have to say that I don't know you.

No ... I'M RIDIKULUS!!
hahah.
I got this job after I got thrown out of PITT (University) and kind of acted like I was still going, but turned the summer job into a full-time gig, haha.

Hhaha, yea, you've told me in the past if we were out somewhere and I started doing my usual "HEY EVERYONE LOOK AT ME" antics you would simply just put your hand over your face, look down, and walk as far away from me as possible, haha.

good luck, dobs.
flavor, I lied. I would definitely say that I know you (b/c you're crazy), but if anyone asks me, I don't think I could justify most of the stuff you've done. I'd just shrug, haha.

(Sep 28 07, 12:33)@ my last job, got axed on a Friday morning without being given a reason. I cried like a baby and then went surfing.

I got fired from my first job as a busboy in a pizza parlor. I "accidentally" poured hot coffee in the owner's lap. Oops!

I got fired from waiting tables @ The Rainforest Cafe when I was in college. No joke. I had played "Robin Hood" by altering/adding tips on unsigned credit card slips that people left behind. Apparently somebody finally noticed and reported the discrepancy.
That was in my less scrupulous days. I suppose it's safe to say I deserved it (and I got off lightly considering all the money that I had pilfered over the course of several years waiting tables).

I was fired after working six 80 hour weeks on a Friday afternoon. I was less than pleased.
Then, the following year at a design awards show, I won a Best Of and winked at my former boss as I was returning to my seat (thoroughly, thoroughly drunk)
Vindication was computed as "Cilantrobot wins, bitch."

one time while I was getting canned, the boss who was doing the firing sat next to a 50yr female coworker. I said to him "what, you had to bring your mom with you?"
neither of them took it well

This happened a few years ago but I got fired / laid off from a Firm on a Monday morning, AFTER I had spent the better half of a month giving them an idea, presentation, mock-ups, story-boards, the whole nine yards to help them land a huge deal for a pretty big named client. The Friday before we heard that we landed the multi-million dollar deal. On Monday I get let go. As I'm packing my things up around my desk not happy about the whole ordeal the CEO of the company comes by our department and goes "I'd like to shake the hand of the guy who did all this work" and I peaked over my cube and said back "I did, over here... the guy who's packing up all his SHIT cause you just laid him off 3 hours ago did it. I think you've done enough already." Silence. Complete silence.
