Got fired from a plastics company many, many years ago for telling my boss to fuck off and that if he was going to carry on trying to physically intimidate me and spread lies about my 'appalling behaviour and attitude' to fellow workmates that I'd simply prove him wrong by phoning for ambulance right then to take him to hospital for after I'd finished with him.

Not proud of my actions - but at the time it was the only thing I could think of to end a fairly miserable time working with him. I suppose in the end he was right about my bad attitude - in the end.

Emotionally I was a rollercoster for a couple of weeks after - did knock my confidence a little - but got over it soon after.

Chin up, Invader Jenny - 'tis just a job after all - only a small part of life, and possibly a job you may not even remember in a few weeks...
