had a job

one of the local newspapers in murfreesboro {dnj} hired me. part time, 3 days a week. worked out to be 5 days a week but what the hay.

after being on headlines for 6 days straight {aye i was scheduled to work 6 days in a row, this is a part time job mind you} - loading paper into a hopper that was out of reach and off my center of balance. my lower back felt like i'd jacked up a disc. i called out - took off a day.

took off another day.

soooo - day before thanksgiving the water main broke in the front yard. took off that day.

than thanksgiving i was off.

took the day after thanksgiving off in order to get the water main finished up. { didn't locate the leak until late night the day before thanksgiving... than the stores were closed on thanksgiving... day after thanksgiving i helped fix it }

a couple few days aye?

i called and talked to the supervisor each time too so don't go thinking i just didn't now.

so i head in to work on my next regular scheduled day and go to write down my hours for the next week and lo. i am not listed as working. find the supervisor and ask "what up".

"had to let you go" he tells me. "to many days out without calling".

cuse me?

oh well was fun while it lasted
