JK once got fired from a job for using the computer to write creative stories
MSN Careers has an article written by Laura Morsch using J.K.Rowling as an example of how getting fired from a job isn't the end of the world.
Joanne Kathleen (a.k.a. J.K.) Rowling
Quote:
The author of the mega-popular Harry Potter books was canned from a secretarial job after she got caught using the company computer to write creative stories. She used her severance pay to write Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, using grant money to finish it after she ran out of cash. The Harry Potter series became a global craze and Rowling became a billionaire.
