Oh, that reminds me there was a third time I got fired that I forgot about. The reason I got fired was for attendance records. My manager didn't give a poo poo what hours I worked as long as the work was done, and I'd automated most of my job so I would rock up at 2pm, click a few buttons, play a bit of quake and leave at 5pm most days, occasionally pulling an allnighter when it was needed. But then he left and the new manager looked at my timesheets and fired me but didn't realise that I did almost all the work in the department. 6 months later production had gone from 2 per month to 1 in 6 months, and I got the call from the big boss telling me that manager had been removed and asking what it would take for me to come back.
