Calls From The Land Of WTF

(Music--Dirty Little Secret--All-American Rejects)

So, I was hanging with friends and got a phone call from my former employer Securitas. I was just going to ignore the call but they left a message so I decided to call them back. It turns out the call was to see if I could work (Ok, so you are probably thinking " and..." So I will explain the whole story into why this is funny. About five months ago, I went on vacation from my job at the bank for a week to spend time with Sara. The day she was supposed to go home she got sick and we had to go to the hospital and I found out my mom was really sick. I called my work and left a message explaining I would need extra time off to take care of Sara and my Mom, which my job responded by saying if you don't come to work in three days it would be considered "Voluntary Termination" AKA being fired without us paying unemployment...). I just stood there in awe for a second with my mouth opened and the only thing I could tell the guy was I couldn't work and hang up. I figured it was a fluke or the guy just had an old call list BUT I got another call from another person (Serious how is this company run smoothly if they never clean out their employee database).
