I remember when I first entered the work force, I worked for this Strata company. Worst 7 weeks of my life. I was about to start looking for another job when they told me they would be ceasing with my probation effective immediately and gave me a weeks pay in lieu. Thank f**k they did that too because I couldn't fathom working in that shithole a day longer (Waterloo). Then the lady there told me that I ca use her as a referee. I thought 'hole on... they just stopped my probation, why would they offer to be a referee?' - and I actually think that dumb blonde bitch was sleeping with the obese director.
So anyway I thought I'd test it out. After a week, I put on a fake voice and rang her up acting as a potential employee looking to hire Wahesh. The blonde broad couldn't say enough bad things about me that were all bullshit. When she finally finished venting her spleen, I said *going back to my normal voice* 'Thanks Rachel. Oh by the way it's Wahesh here and now I know not you use you as a referee any longer. Kiss my arse' - the silence was deafening.
