Sack Me!

While several Americans have already been fired for keeping Blogs, the first Brit has just lost his job for that reason:


A bookseller has become the first blogger in Britain to be sacked from his job because he kept an online diary in which he occasionally mentioned bad days at work and satirized his "sandal-wearing" boss.
Joe Gordon, 37, worked for Waterstone's in Edinburgh for 11 years but says he was dismissed without warning for "gross misconduct" and "bringing the company into disrepute" through the comments he posted on his weblog

So that got me thinking. I am currently unemployed. Maybe if I complain enough about my working conditions, somebody will hire me.
