People have no idea of the pressures we face, even the office Christmas party is fraught with danger.

Incriminating emails were sent which left me no option but to hand myself my P45. Work then piled up which resulted in me reinstating myself in my old position at half my former salary.
Hopefully I have now learned my lesson.
