Have you ever been fired for a job? Have you or anyone you know ever done anything outrageous when you got fired? Or maybe you have a job that you hate and fantasize about what you will do when you quit?

I was working in a school and for three months I worked real hard and still got bullied by the biased principal of the schol. She favored a real stupid girl in the same standard and a different section then mine. I still can't see why. She herself told me that this girl is not so good a teacher but at least she is able to keep the kids quite in the class. I was infact doing the work like making teaching plans for both the class, setting the same homework for her section and even wrote their school diaries. I just have had it when she called me up after a school function, during the rehearsals that lady never sent her class students for rehearsals and even after my repeated complaints and requests to the principal to come and see the rehearsal of our joint program, she neve made an effort to come and see it. This lady scolded me as being responsible for not making sure that both the classes had performed well. I just lost it then. I started looking for another job and even found one but in a smaller school and lesser pay. Soon after first term papers there was one PTA meeting and I handed out the report cards, parents were too happy with me and after it was over I just walked in the principal Office and told her I am resinging then and there. She then requested me to stay back so that she could work out something and said all parents have praised me a lot and they were really happy. I said nothing doing I am not coming back so I just quit. In the new job I had so much fun and even learned a lot there. It was a kind of picnic for me there. I was glad I resigned that day.

I haven't been fired yet but I also think what if I'm get fired? One work I had that I wanted to quit, I do things like not doing anythng worthwhile so I'll get fired or get the feelers that I'd be fired, but I did not get fired. I quit first before they can fire me.

I was fired once, for a really ridiculous reason. I was in high school and worked at a sandwich shop. The owner showed up one day to observe us. He asked me to step outside and told me I didn't smile enough. I was blown away. I sometimes fantasize about quitting my current job, but haven't thought of any creative ways to leave yet. There is still time for me to plan though :)
