Take this job and shove it: part deux.

To recap thus far: I and three other teachers are forced to attend a mandatory, unpaid Sunday School event taking place on Friday night (my only night off). We are required to plan games and songs for the event, even though the Belinskys clearly didn't feel required to pay us on time.

yep, after an hour-long discussion with "management" on why, after two years of always being a dependable worker (i was an usher supervisor, after all!) i should possibly be fired for, while on break, *filling up my soda cup from the wrong side of the counter* -- yes, you heard me) i decided enough was enough and, as they told me they were walking away because i was getting too loud, i launched into a lot of cursing and yelling and inappropriate gestures (yeah, more like, "fuck you! i fuckin quit! you run this place like fuckin ( ... )
