I’ve had too many jobs to recount, but I only got fired from one. Sure, I came thisclose to getting the boot at several - saved by tap dancing, backing, lying and friends in high places - but at only one did the boom actually get lowered. I won’t name the institution to save embarrassment, theirs as it happens, not mine. The circumstances of my departure were so Opéra Bouffe as to beggar belief, but I promise every jot and tittle of what follows is true.
