Recruitment consultants were sent to punish us all! -
I started a job a few years abck after the previous incumbant had left on short notice.
Apparently they had hired him a month or so previously and been really impressed with his dedication and commitment. First in, last out every day.
Turns out the reason for this was he was drinking heavily and sleeping in the office. It only came to light when he dismantled a *very* expensive exhibition stand so he could lay the panels accross two desks as a makeshift bed one night, and broke it in the process.
So if you need a quick get out, just be found sleeping under your desk in the morning, cuddling an empty bottle. Shouldnt take more than a couple of days

Just walk in one day with your underpants and flip flops and sit down saying "you feel strange today"; follow that up by cirlcing your nipples after putting your fingers in your mouth shouting "divine divine - yeh baby!" that will get the result you are after.Comment
