Card behind the bar - AGAIN!!!

TP · 04-Oct-2005, 12:56

Are you seated, becaseu you're not going to believe this! I didn't.

I started a new contract yesterday - it lasted 6.5 hours before my contract was terminated. Is that some sort of record?

The extra work that was coming in for the team I was joining didn't materialise apparently so they couldn't afford the additional headcount. Or something like that. ....

Anyway, my contract fortunately has a notice clause that means they have to pay me for a month so at least I have that.

Get your drinks in because I am beyond caring about anything at the moment ... I've moved beyond flabbergasted into a bemused state.

I might have a pint ...

Thank you far asking, I'll have an ice-cold Guinness please.
Just hold on while I pull up a v-barstool so I can listen to the story in v-comfort.
So, how are you doing dude ?

TP · 04-Oct-2005, 13:16

How am I going?

That's a long story .... me not having work is less than half the story.

But I'm cool
