Reply to: Just invited to 5pm meeting

[NotAllThere]

Yes, sorry, am toast. Pause due to

1. Unwinding from initial shock (was told at 4:20 so had 40 minutes to worry)
2. Calling wife to break news.
3. Calling known contacts to try and drum up new work
4. Calling parents and inlaws as this has direct impact on babysitting rotas
5. Calling in on pub to drink enough beer.
6. Reply to CUK thread.

I worked out why you got canned. No sense of priority.

Budge over? I think not, pal. I've got the seat by the chill-box full of beer.

If you recall (I suppose you've forgotten what with all that dining out, making curries, writing web services and being happily married with the Liver Bird) we've had a seat reserved for you since the 30th:

But I'll see to it there's a few cans of Special Brew waiting for you.

Oh yes that's right. Can you put a pint glass in the fridge for me? Are we dialling out tonight? I fancy pizza.

Could Richard Cranium please budge over a bit, I'm coming to sit on the bench around 3:30pm BST.

Your seat is now the one on the end, not under the awning, with the splinters and the screw head sticking out. Ignore the silvery trails, unless you are happy to believe they are from snails.

Bad luck and have a hug

bugger! (does that get swear-filtered out? let's see). I hope your benched spell turns out to be as short or as long as you want it to be.

Thanks for sharing your hour of suspense with us. I hope all the mickey-taking was to an acceptable CUK standard.

I have trained them.

Major mistake as a contractor!!

Good luck, take a break, enjoy the summer and hopefully things will pick up soon.

Sorry to hear the news. At least you won't be lonely - plenty of companions here on the bench!!!
September's just around the corner (when things usually pick up) so hopefully you'll just have a nice one month pause.

Thanks mate.
