Mine was about 1 day and one hour. It's the only job I've been sacked from. Still pisses me off today.

 

Got a temp job in 98 working for Asprey and Garrad's (royal jewellers) on Bond Street, on their massively slow and decrepid Payroll and Invoicing system.

 

I was about 10 mins late for the frsit day as the tubes were up the spout, and it was summer, so I didn't wear a jacket. My hair was still blonde then and I had a goatee. Everyone else was floppy haired posh types (I went to public school but I will not associate myself with those tossers) and I had an air of "I don't think I fit in here" from the moment I walked in. grumpy.gif

 

Bored shitless all day and went home wondering how I was going to survive 6 months there. sleepy.gif

 

Next morning, same again - 10 mins late. Arse. Strangely, my boss and her no. 2 were nowhere to be seen. An hour in, got called into the managers office, and told I was being sacked for "lack of punctuality (after 2 fecking mornings! and with no official warning!!) and "personal appearance" (ie. I wasn't in their ex-Eton dumb as fvck mould).... wtf?!?!

 

It wasn't like I liked the place, but I've always been pretty professional at work (hard as it may seem to believe) so I was pretty gutted to be sacked! I then had to suffer the indignity of having my bag searched by security (full of minging rugby kit as well... laugh.gif ) on the way out.... they broke all the rules as I had no warning and they didn't consult my agency.

 

All the same, I can't say I was fussed - I got a much better job then and it put me where I am now!... thumbs.gif

 

2nd day's not bad though.... anyone beat that? confused.gif

WiLDCHiLD - where spacehoppers and pom poms rule :grin:

I actually completed a contract in 20 minutes... They didn't know what they were doing and called to get someone to fix something they had [censored] up... Was supposed to be 5 days... They paid me for them in the end, but I literally stayed 25 minutes (that included saying hello, explaining that it was fixed, getting my timesheet signed and saying goodbye)...

 

Oh and it's the highest hourly rate i've ever had... grin.gif, £800 an hour was great...

Mine was wen i was 17..working for a friends mum...training to be a hairdresser! Lasted 1 day ...why? cos the tight cow was paying me £10 a day!!!!!! grumpy.gif

If i should die this very moment,
I wouldn't fear,
For i have known completeness like being here.
Wrapped in the warmth of you,
Loving every breath of you,
Still my heart this moment or it might burst,
Can we stay right here,
Untill the end of time,
Till the seas stop churning,
Wanna love you till the seas run dry.
Cos Ive found the one i am searching for...........the one.
