oh, guess what ya'll... now the other night something even worse happened!! i couldn't get a ride to work b/c my car was broken down and my parents suddenly had to go out of town on an emergency. i called everybody i knew and asked them for a ride, but most everybody was at work, too. and so i called my manager and explained the situation and he said everything was fine. then i get into work the next day when my parents come home and he gives me a termination warning!! he told me that if anything like that ever happened again, he would fire me!! (hence the name "termination warning" he he) but anyways, like i said before, had i been one of the other choice few hostesses, they would have been given time off with pay and a personal house visit to make sure they were doing okay or something stupid like that. but nooooo... i just get almost fired!!!
