61 Ways to Get Fired: Fire Us Up

So, I'm at work, still waiting for "the word". Are we fired? Are we re-hired? (The latter ain't looking so good.) My co-workers and I have discussed filming the various ways we could get fired for every day of our remaining contract, hence the title "61 Ways To Get Fired".


Anyone out there have suggestions for "Ways to Get Fired"?
Feel free to leave them in the comment area... you don't have to "login" to tell us how you'd "fire us".

You know, I think our whole generation is firmly rooted in the work ghetto--stuck between the reality of a contract job market and the surreality of a work world comprised of corporations who want our eternal "alliegance"... without strings. Seriously, check out Miriam-Websters third definition:

a: an isolated group
b: a situation that resembles a ghetto especially in conferring inferior status or limiting opportunity.

I can truly say that the 38 and under workforce are "isolated" and have "limited opportunity". So why not celebrate it?

well, as we discussed, i think wearing "just fired" tshirts and hugging every single remaining full-time secure staff member in the building is an alright way to go

shouldn't leave the job until you've been naked at work at least once. not neccessary to go this far

I want to "draw straws". Show some suit come in to the office, all professional-like and then make us line up. Shortest straw stays.

Okay, I am "on" for the "just fired" tshirt hug fest. But I won't do it naked.
