So I lost my job today.

Have one month left in this place before I become a statistic. What shall I do to take my mind off things? I'm not above fapping my troubles away, and not beyond killing. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated!

have a look down the back of the couch

Jake Rugby Walrus666 · 17-01-2011 03:57PM

bring the business down. That should keep you occupied for the last month

aaronjumper · 17-01-2011 03:57PM

Look for another?

phasers · 17-01-2011 03:57PM

Get the dole, it's great

Unfortunately the people in charge are well ahead of us on that one.

We need more details, what sort of job do you work in ? what have you got access to ?

minidazzler · 17-01-2011 03:57PM

Move that few yards to that 7th circle anyway.

But other than that, emigrate, especially if you have skills in high demand.

Gummy Panda · 17-01-2011 03:57PM

Burn the place down!

elspecia · 17-01-2011 03:58PM

if you are eligible for a visa...get one and get out of here for a year or so

orourkeda · 17-01-2011 03:59PM

Pull the arse out of yourself for the rest of the month then look for a job.

fakearms123 · 17-01-2011 04:00PM

I'm not sure if being on boards most of the time did good things towards the decision to fire you

Mr Trade In · 17-01-2011 04:02PM

Watch Fight Club,go to the boss's office and if all goes to plan you will leave with some swanky office equipment and 2 years worth of pay checks,

you will have to ruff yourself up while there though.

That's not the attitude that will get us out of this recession or get you your next (better) Job.
"YES WE CAN"

Now get in there and destroy that fcking company.

So far, this is my favorite suggestion.

This is almost exactly what I'm going to do. Start my own damn company. With blackjack. And hookers. In fact, forget the company. [/futurama]

Was it here or reddit or my imagination that I read about someone who went around the whole company and took the fuses out of everything cos he was let go?

Do that.

But sorry to hear. I've been there so the only advice I can give is don't lose heart. Get out as soon as with CV's to anywhere. Join sites like irishjobs.ie monster.ie jobs.ie and sign up for automatic emails for jobs.

I was thinking about robbing a bank, you can be my getaway driver if you like

Whos the architect, can i be the architect? Im pretty good at planning, We need muscle though.

Penn · 17-01-2011 04:10PM

Don't worry OP, plenty more jobs out there. And by 'out there', I mean 'not in Ireland'.

Can I be the quiet guy who turns out to be a homicidal madman and messes up the job?

MidlandsM · 17-01-2011 04:13PM

Tough luck OP, try and stay positive and work hard on getting a new gig.

Well there are a couple of guys I know who are looking for work now too. I have a Reliant Robin. Will that be adequate?

No im thinking more 'The Town' with mr affleck.

Very professional you see.

Korvanica · 17-01-2011 04:15PM

pee in the kettle...

Sanjuro · 17-01-2011 04:17PM

The Town, you say... Affleck was da bomb in Phantoms, yo!

bonerm · 17-01-2011 04:18PM

OP, think of it as an opportunity to see a bit of the world.

Did you know that the Chinese use the same word for "crisis" as they do for "opportunity"? They call it 'Crisatunity.'

bungler · 17-01-2011 04:18PM

There's only one thing for it, you have to grow a beard while your unemployed

So I lost my job today.
