“So who here shared the ‘dildo in the bathroom’ picture with a female yesterday, it ended up on Bad Girls Advice and the owner of said dildo saw it,” he wrote. “It is with much regret that I must terminate your canada goose outlet reviews employment today,” his boss wrote.
“Your actions are canada goose outlet uk condemned by me and have put my company in a vulnerable position. As discussed, I know now in hindsight, you regret your actions, but unfortunately they cannot be undone and have caused damage.

“I had to pull it canada goose uk black friday down as I was the foreman on the site and my boss had no other choice but to let me go, it canada goose black friday sale was my fault not his,” he wrote. “Would I do it again probably not, canada goose outlet canada but at the time I couldn’t dog the boys.
“[The] chick got wind of it he had a few emails with screen shots attached and as a director canada goose black friday sale he has to show that he has taken action.

Another wrote: “Yeah c. F me. I’m so over c talking about BA. The first rule is you don’t talk about it. It’s that simple. F off ya pussy whipped c n stop doggin’ the boys.”
Another added: “Surely she can see the funny side of it? Not like he told canada goose jacket outlet the world who or where she was? Think she’s more embarrassed than anything and got the s!
