okay so i've been slaking at work for a while now, but it never mattered because we were so quiet and i worked with the assistant manager and he was kool about it, he did the same. We did the job, just not with enthusiasm.

But now the manager has called me and asked me to come in tomorrow because he needs to talk with me!

Scared now!

For all you know he may be about to hand you a pay rise, or even a promotion.

yeah, i doubt it, you don't really get them at the crap hole i work in. The thing is i haven't done anything wrong. I've just been unenthusiastic about it all. But he has never called me in before, and he sounded all serious.

If the worst happens and i get fired, even thats not the worst thing, i suppose everyone gets fired at one time or another.

But hey, I only asked yesterday morning, I really shouldn't be so impatient, should I?

If anyone here works in an IT department, can I just ask, is there actually some sort of a training course where people who do your job learn to be utterly useless and unhelpful?

surely you have seen the it crowd sonicl

Ha ha, now you mention it...

It took four days for someone to reboot that server, by the way.

well, it turned out that some woman had come in and complained about me, she said i was rude to her and didn't understand what i was doing etc etc etc.
The list goes on, I don't remember any of this???, if i was that badly behaved i would remember it!!! I didn't get fired or even a warning though.
