It's a quick and agitating story about a human being like the one we have in this tale, that can really bring the blood to a boil, when it comes to stewing over how certain incompetent individuals end up in the positions of power that they do.

XL Not sure if this fits exactly but I thought l'd share. Obligatory sorry I'm on mobile. TLDR at the end. I have worked a lot of bad jobs in my life, but I left home at 19 and needed a job to pay rent while I was at uni.

J: What I thought your end date was (some day a few weeks away) Me: Nope as per our phone call, my text and my email my last day was a few days ago J: oh, well ahh...
