Dude, The Mayor is approaching your desk. With The Media. And you're playing Solitaire. HELLO? Bloomberg fired you out of pure embarassment!

If its the US version, he probably turned it off.... if its the Briitish version, he hasn't stopped laughing.

"Okay, so, if an employee, say, went outside to smoke, that'd be okay (though unhealthy). Or if an employee were to linger at the water cooler a little longer, gossiping, that'd be okay. But playing solitaire or stretching at your desk 'cause you're penned in like a veal, that's not okay?"

AMEN.

should have been playing freecell. Solitare is understandable for a game you should be able to just close down really quick. Freecell thought, I would have said "Now mayor, im at 61% wins, you wouldn't want me to hurt my percentage, would you? could you please come back another time" I'm sure he would have understood

One of my professors back in college once told me about a friend who got fired because she got caught playing "The Sims" instead of doing spreadsheets. I probably would've been doing the same thing, although it would've involved first person shooters with World War II backdrops

My dad met bloomberg recently. My dad was painting a city office and bloomberg happened to stumble in to say Hi and my dad told him the paints they gave him were cheap $hit.
