Finished up at my old job yesterday. (Hooray!) I had a fairly long exit clause in my contract – I actually had to give three months notice. I never really thought they would hold onto me for that long, but it was no big deal if they did.

Anyway, one of my co-workers was heard to say, "We’ll make him serve out the three months. There is no way the new company will want to hold a position open that long, so by the time his notice period expires and he can leave he won’t have any job and he’ll be stuffed."

I’ll be honest, I have never got on well with this guy. He always seemed to be a nasty piece of work; two faced and conniving, only concerned with himself. But this is totally mad! How many times do you have to be dropped on your head as a child to think like that?

Mind you, he’s doing a really great job of pissing everyone off. You can count the number of friends he has in the office on the toes of one hand. I don’t wish him ill. I don’t need to. He’s doing a good enough job of screwing up his life without any bad luck from me.
