Wow, thanks katie, that's really helpful, I kind of do feel some people could respect me a bit more at work, so I will give it a try
I just (in the last couple of days) got the Element Encyclopedia delivered as I bought it online..it has got quite a few job related spells in it including one for retaining your job...so for future reference for anyone in a similar position I shall post it here
Pecan Job Retention Spell
(You still have your job but you're afraid that there's a genuine possibility that it will be lost)
Get a small bag of edible nuts, still in their shells, prefereably Pecans.
Shell the nuts by hand and eat them slowly, savouring every bite. It's better to eat them in the workplace as it is more powerful...however it's crucial that you are able to eat them peacefully, happily and securely. If you must eat them elsewhere in order to accomplish this, then do so.
Whilst you are eating, maintain a visualization of yourself, secure and happy at work. See yourself holding and cashing your paycheck.
When you're finished eating, reserve some of the shells and hide them at work in a discreet spot where they won't be observed or removed.
