[Storytime:The name’s the same]
Or:That time my dad got me fired from my job.
Well, I quit but I have a feeling the day that it all came to a head I was going to get fired anyways because I wasn’t able to tell my side of the story..
But first, some backstory:Growing up I had a friend “Ellen” .She had some issues which meant she was out of my life from the time I was say 14 years old.
Fast forward to my first job out of high school. My boss there was also named “Ellen” and she was a bitch with a capital B. I couldn’t do a thing to please her(that is a recurring thing with bosses that I have had-they expect a LOT out of me)
I don’t think some of the people there liked me very much either and they would happily rat others(especially someone they didn’t like or percieved as “goofing off” in order to bring the wrath of “Ellen” upon them.)
Just about this same time, my friend “Ellen” came back into my life. My parents didn’t want me having contact with her. She left a birthday present for me which I found when we came home from Disneyland(not sure why I had to mention that but I did).My parents were able to shield me from her.
HowEVER, about a month into having my job, apparently “Ellen” called the house wanting to talk to me.My dad thought it was my *friend* “Ellen”. Not long after that I go into work and “Ellen”wants to talk to me.That’s where I quit. I didn’t know about the phone call until years and years later. I can’t stay mad at my dad because that was a terrible job and I probably would have quit at some point. I call it one of the losses in my life that I don’t mind..losing. It was retail,I’ve alluded to the place before..didn’t even get that much of a discount either.
