Update on the job thing: She just called back. 5 mintues of “Oh, I’m sorry, but we have to follow policy on this.. etc” means that I no longer work for Cornerstone. 7 months of working through cold and stomach viruses, only to be undone by a single missed phone message. The kids love me, but it’s not about the kids is it? The parents of these kids will probably never know the real truth. I’ve seen Boss lie to other parents, point blank. I’ve seen her give them trumped-up stories of how so-and-so just stopped coming to work.. blah blah, but i know it’s because she told so-and-so that she could have a day off (the only day she had) to get her insurance in order, then told her she’d have to be in anyway. I’m sure she’s telling the parents of my kids and my coworkers that I just stopped calling and showing up one day and that she never heard a thing about it ever again. I have all of their e-mails and could give them all the truth, but it’s a personal matter, not really suited to be aired about like that.
