UER Forum > Archived Canada: Ontario > So I was fired today... (Viewed 727 times) Intrinsic  Location: Collingwood Gender: Male  |  So I was fired today... < on 11/3/2008 10:43 PM >   I had been assigned the project of creating a pamphlet for the Greater Sudbury tourism board. The pamphlet would be designed to bring in tourists for the next summer season. It started out well enough... Enjoy our natural resources... I then hit a mental block and couldn't decide what else to put into the pamphlet. I then had a brainstorm and exclaimed, "I'll add in a bit of urban exploration photos". It was sheer brilliance. Take a walk along our beautiful natural trail systems... "Enjoy fine fishing at one of our luxurious lodges" "Overnight guests may want to stay in our four star hotel" Includes full kitchen facilities... Four piece bathroom... And the maids will still leave a mint on your pillow... "Seniors, you'll love our newly remodelled senior's home" And best of all... free parking in your own garage "Moms, we know how much you love to shop. Come to our outdoor shopping mall. Open rain or shine." (disclaimer: retailers not responsible for water damage to wood) I then proceeded to order 20,000 copies of the finished pamphlet at a cost of $5000. Today I was called into the manager's office and told my services were no longer required. I can't imagine why.

And is that where the interiors were from? Urban exploring since getting chased out of an abandoned barn with my mother at the age of four by an angry farmer with a pitchfork.

And is that where the interiors were from? Thank you. The boarded up building is a summer camp which also serves as an astronomy station (formerly used by NASA). http://www.uer.ca/...ow.asp?locid=27792 The first three of the "four star hotel" are in fact a motel which baffled me. Half of the rooms were demolished, some without doors, one with a hole in the back wall. The other half of the motel had newer vehicles parked in front of the rooms. The last hotel picture and the "Senior's" photos are rooms from what was once a bar. I guess they were your typical "above the bar" rooms but didn't seem to be as grungy as I'd thought. Interestingly enough, one room contained an overnight bag with cell phone, Q-tips, shaving accessories, etc. It's as if the person just got up and left one day, never to return. spin  Location: Southern Ontario Gender: Male yuuuuuuuuuuup  |  Re: So I was fired today... <Reply # 8 on 11/4/2008 2:50 AM >   hahah i like it BatGirl  Location: Oklahoma (AWOL Ontarian) Gender: Female  |  Re: So I was fired today... <Reply # 9 on 11/4/2008 3:07 AM >   I rather LIKE the pamphlet idea...

There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
