I'd have sacked him for his beard-bandana combo.

No doubt some trouble-making third party called it to his attention.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 14:26 (twenty years ago)

i reckon he deserved it.

i don't but it's pretty dumb to mention where you work in such situations i guess, assuming they didn't just google him one day (which i find quite disturbing to be doing on a corporate basis).

I lost my temp job for ilxing in September!

I would have fired him for the beard and for using the word groovy.

I think Village Voice needs to follow Waterstone's good example here.

― Miles Finch, Wednesday, 12 January 2005 15:02 (twenty years ago)

But you use the word Fratboy.

I'd have punched him for the look on his face in that picture. What's he trying to be there? "I am a deep individual who thinks deeply about many deep things."
