I used to work for an office retail wholesaler giant (whose name will remain anonymous, for legal purposes). My manager wasn't too much older than I was and we both were avid Halo 2 fans. Unfortunately, in addition to being a connoisseur of online gaming, he happen to be a retail manager tyrant with a penchant for making me work unreasonable hours wherever he deemed necessary. Anyway, one day he caught me out back in the truck entrance of the store, smoking some controlled substances. I can't make this up - I will remember these words verbatim perhaps for the rest of my life:
"Look dude, I'm gonna have to can ya. There's no way I can let this slide, but I'll tell you what: If you match me 1v1 on Halo and win, I'll let the boss know that you quit, and not that I caught you out back blazing down."
I am currently unemployed.
