*ahem* ...FUUUUUUCK

[kevspace]

I just got the call. Turns out I am NOT eligible for rehire after all. They wouldn't tell him why, so he couldn't tell me why, but I can guess. Seven years ago, my sister's ex-boyfriend wrote a long letter to the theater, pretending to be an angry old lady, saying (amongst other things) that I'd sworn at her children and thrown popcorn at her; unable to prove that it didn't happen, I was suspended for a week. I continued to work there for a while, and I thought I'd left on good terms, but I suppose this incident was enough to disqualify me for future rehire. I found out that my sister's ex was behind it long after it had happened; I was telling the story in a group and one of his friends ratted him out. "He thought it would be funny, he didn't know you'd actually get in trouble." Amazing that 'prank' is still wrecking my life today.

I still plan to remain optimistic, but if y'all don't mind, I am going to sulk for a few hours.
