		<description>My boss found my &#039;stupidfuckingcustomers&#039; blog. Someone squealed on us. I don&#039;t work there anymore.

I feel pretty ashamed at the moment. I did over 5 years there and it all came down to this.

I know some of the stuff I blogged about was bad, but a lot was over exaggerated for comedic effect and lots of stuff was made up entirely. I thought everyone knew this.

My boss had every right to be annoyed, but he definately missed the point with a lot of it. It&#039;s hard to convey emotion through words sometimes. I think he read too much into some of the posts and assumed malicious attacks on his character that I simply did not mean to convey. It was a joke that went a bit too far.

I think the post that seemed to annoy him the most was the &#039;top tips at work&#039; section. I did something about stealing a quid from the till. This was entirely made up. I&#039;ve never stolen anything from there because it&#039;s not in my nature to do so. I may be a lot of things, but a thief certainly isn&#039;t one of them. I even remember doing something in the comments section about me not actually stealing anything and that the post was made up. I have a strange sense of humour that some people just don&#039;t get.

Basically, my boss now thinks that I was shit, was always shit and always will be shit. The truth of the matter is that the only thing I really did wrong, was blog about the stuff that annoys me. 

I could go on forever about who was wrong and who was wrong. The fact is that my boss was in the wrong with certain working conditions. I moaned about them, went too far, and lost my job.

I want to forget about things now and move on.</description>
