lol...its all worth it

i got into work today and i saw my schedule said 2-10pm tomorrow, i said no no no to my manager after i asked for tomorrow and wed off...and since i called in sick on Sunday for the DC show he told me "if you don't show up tomorrow your fired"...so asking after 2 years of working there is this really what it comes to? the answer was yes...so i took off my shirt tossed it to him and said PEACE

its gonna suck on thursday when i have to look for another job, but who the fuck cares...im not missing any one of these shows for a stupid fuckin job that pays 9.50$ an hour

    Why didn't you look at your schedule in advance and try to get these days off?

    A friend of mine quit her job yesterday, but she didn't have to toss her shirt to her boss because she worked as a topless dancer....in fact, she had to grab her shirt BACK from her boss!

    I skipped a mid-term (at least an exam that counted for 1/2 my grade for the course) to see Pearl Jam in Mansfield 9/16/98....the infamous quarter show.

    To this day, its one of the best moves of my life and I use it as the standard for live for today.

    For the record, I ended up getting an incomplete and needing to take an extra course my final semester to maintain full-time status, so actually everything worked out in the end.
