  1. I ficticiously called in sick to my first job at 16 and they wouldn't put me back on the schedule until I came in and talked to the manager. I don't know if that was the general policy, or if they knew I wasn't really sick. But I didn't want to find out so I never went back. Was I fired, or did I quit? lol.

    But then on my next job, I was fired for something my boss THOUGHT I did. He was a gross philanderer and was cheating on his wife and 9 children with a woman he was representing in a divorce that had 8 children (he was a very sleazy lawyer). He took the mistress and her children to 6 Flags one weekend and stopped off at his adoptive parent's home on the way. Well, as soon as they left, the adoptive parents called his wife and filled her in. She confronted him about it, but didn't mention where she got the information. He assumed that since I had access to his personal schedule that I told his daughter, whom I had remained friends with throughout the whole sordid affair. He called me into his office and railed at me for several minutes before saying, "I don't need someone like you around here. You're fired!" I could have totally defended myself because I knew already how his wife got the information. But why would I want to? He was disgusting!

    Ok, totally not my fault, but it still pisses me off 27 years later!


  2. Patty, I'm so sorry to read this. I'm glad you could be there caring for your mother, even at the end. It must be so hard right now. I wish you strength for now and peace in time. (((Patty)))

    Thanks for letting us know, Emmie.


  3. This one is my all time favorite because of the description they created for it.

    Much controversy surrounds the history of this piece. Whether the work of a single artist or two artists separated by time and place, the piece succeeds in transforming a simple icon into a mysterious yet radiant image through a few quick dashes of the pen.
