this is a good point...

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission.

Perfect scenario, you go to party, casting see you and like the look of you, you get a small cameo role in next series and become mates with lad from about a boy and your own chat show on considerately more than £9k/year

Haha.. this is what Dick Brown wrote in his "Guide to good business" before EDS fired him. His severance package was worth $55mill though.

Your boss seems like a complete prune Stinky,

Its only once you leave a job like yours that you realise just how much you were being used / underappreciated.

zinc · 24 Jan 2008 at 13:53

I'd say just go to it.

Whats the worst that could happen

Trojan · 24 Jan 2008 at 13:55

Given that you're on £9k a year, I'd do what the hell I wanted and if they fired me I'd thank them for it.
