Since everyone is being so truthful about being sacked, I'll post 
mine.  :-)

When I was 18 I got a job at a dairy bar (ice cream shop).  I was 
making pretty good money (at that time $3.25 an hour (1988)) and 
it was all going towards my spending money in Europe that 
summer.  My best friend was going to Europe with me and decided 
a little extra money wouldn't hurt, either, so I got her a job there, 
too.

Well.......my friend's archenemy was working there, which I did not 
know because we had different shifts (I worked after school only, 
she worked weekends only) and Stacey got on a shift with her and 
they had a massive fight about something and both were fired.  I 
came into work that following Monday and was told that since I 
was the one that referred her for the job, I could leave, too.  I was 
floored!  I still am to this day.  Had it been a "real" job I would have 
probably sued or at least brought in a lawyer.  But, as it was, I left 
and got another job the next day at a farm helping with the 
livestock for $6.00 an hour for three days a week (any three days) 
instead of every night after school.

So I guess in the end, I got the better deal anyway.

Walmart is know selling Harry Potter material.  There are four 
different bolts.  I haven't seen them yet but there's one with Hedwig, 
one with stars and wands, etc., and one with the Harry Potter 
logo/font name.  My friend couldn't remember what the fourth one 
was, though.
