So today I was chatting on AIM with some friends. I haven’t gotten around to switching from my personal AIM to my new work AIM which happens to be alastair@wearemaven.com, but it’s not like you’re going to need that address. I received a passive aggressive email today letting me know that company policy only allows us to talk to preapproved contacts on AIM. Considering that Chris sits across the desk from me I asked if he was serious. He awkwardly changed the subject to sports, so I kept talking to my friends but to my own detriment. I was fired later this afternoon for responding to a message on my personal AIM from Chris.
Today I got fired.

This morning I showed up to work promptly at 9:00am. At 9:52am Chris sent me a text message that said: “Gotta try to find this phone at another staples. Hold down the fort!”
Which I promptly replied: “Been here since nine.. Wish I could galavant around town but somone’s got to make us money to buy you a phone”
Moments later, Chris said: “I really hope you enjoyed writing that text message cause it just got you fired!”
I told Chris I’d burn this place to the ground, he told me he’d burn my face to the ground. One of us is serious. So long Maven! You suckers.
