Whilst I was working the night-shift at the Garage, I enjoyed plenty of time to devour my books. I was so ravenous, I even set up a book-club (the day before I was sacked) hahahaha life eh? what a practical joke the whole thing is. But anyway, I thought I'd list the books that I read whilst mincing at work and the first books that are on the book club reading list.
Friedrich Nietzsche - Ecce Homo
Beyond Good and Evil
Genology of Morality
The Birth of Tragedy
Twilight of the Idols and The Anti-Christ
Human, all too Human
Untimely Meditations (started it, but by this time I thought my head was going to melt, so for the first time in a long time I picked up a novel, listed below)
The Cambridge Companion to Nietzsche (selected passages)
Max Weber - The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism
Robert Thomson - The Psychology of Thinking
Alexander Moseley - A Philosophy of War
Oscar Wilde - A portrait of Dorian Gray
Plato - Republic (selected passages)
Martin Heidegger - Being and Time (started but then sacked)
Not bad eh? see why I liked my job despite everything about it being shit. Those books have been laughing at me for years gathering dust on my bookshelf. In a little over two months I smashed my way through them.
Here's what is in the pipeline for the Book Club, we'll see how I cope now without the forced solitude of the garage, I plan to read between 8pm and 11pm every weeknight (after the kids go to bed and before Teri comes home) fingers crossed...
Milan Kundera - The Book of Laughter and Forgetting
Life is Elsewhere

Unemployable?
It seems that I am unemployable, today my boss felt that I had put him in a position where he had to sack me. The reason for me being sacked is still up for debate, to be honest though I made it easy for them by leaving a letter that wasn't very politely worded for the boss' brother.
By the way dickhead, if you don't want any of your staff to leave before the officially finish then you better speak to your brother about paying us for the 15 minutes that we're expected to be in for before we officially start (counting and preparing our float is part of our job so we deserve to be paid for it) Although I imagine that this will be a problem, parting with cash always is. So in future stop whining like a little girl and shut yer hole.
As for the £400 safe-drops, I stopped putting fivers in it like you asked me to do in the first place because your chubby fingers couldn't get the money out. But the next time you moaned about it you claimed the till is only set up for £300 drops (which is wrong). Here's how your till works: When the till has £500 in it, it tells you to make a safe drop (although the till only thinks that there is £400 in it) assuming there isn't a load of extra change, £400 is how much the till is set-up to drop, which I will continue to do until the day I am sacked. When you told me to stop putting fivers in a £400 drop you were being reasonable, when you start whining like a little bitch and throwing threats around, you are not being reasonable. Since I am a reasonable person, I will not do as i'm told unless there is a valid reason (or I am at least asked nicely)
P.S. your a bawbag
Now it's clear to see that I could quite easily have been sacked for a number of reasons - insubordination probably being the chief one...
However, it seems that I was sacked because I brought my boss into it by saying that he should 'speak to his brother' in combination with complaining about the 15 minutes free labour the get from every member of staff, every day - £1600 a year being skimmed off the staff (about 2/3rds of that is from me and Tez).
"When I offered you the employment you said you were happy with the arrangement!
Now I'm not happy with it so I'm withdrawing your employment!!"
Hahahahahahahahahaha but am I bothered?
Another reason he brought up that made sacking me his only recourse is that I was showing my letter to all the regular taxi-drivers that i've gotten to know over the last few months and we were all have a good chuckle, which he took to be at his expense (really it was at his brothers expense). He witnessed it all on CCTV and there was some side splitting laughter from the drivers, especially at the 'bawbag' bit...
Hahahahahahahahahaha good times, fond memories, and I had already said my goodbyes on Friday night/Saturday morning.
He even tried to claim that the taxi-drivers phoned him to complain about me because they're all good friend with him. Aye that WILL be right!!! I know what they say about him. My anti-racism stance forbids me from repeating any of it, but Akbar, none of them even like you never mind call you a friend...Ya big fat Barry White!!!
