Okay, today is Memorial Day.

I had planned to go to the Memorial Service downtown to pay my respects. And my brother who is back from Iraq had planned to go with me.

My boss had called and asked if I could come in for a "few minutes" as they were short staffed. Me, like an idiot, said yes.

Can you believe that he said that I needed to stay because it was more important!


Holy Shit!! Two people I knew had died in the Gulf War, but oh no, work was more important. After I screamed at him for about 10 minutes, he said I could go. Then he said that he forgot that I used to be in the Navy.


I swear I almost slapped him right there on the sales floor. Man, that man is an idiot......

PS, I can still get into my old uniform. :-)
