I called in this morning and explained that I'm not sick, but because I had something to do for school my parents literally wouldn't allow me to work. This was true:
The other day my mom called me downstairs and said
That she'd been thinking about it and
She didn't want me having to choose between school and work even if the activity wasn't required
And to call and tell them that it was required so they'd leave me alone
Or, if I was uncomfortable with that,
To tell them that my parents required me to go, which is what I did.
So, imagine my surprise when I woke up early enough to call in plenty of notice
And Holly on the phone said,
"Okay, but you know that's going to be unexcused, right?"
Excuse me.
I am unfamiliar with the system under which I can,
being a minor whose parents can legitimately require that I not go in,
and in high school and with more important things to do than sell people credit cards with their condoms,
and being responsible enough to wake up early to call in,
and to try and get a replacement for half,
still be considered somehow "unexcused".
I didn't argue, though. I really need to quit.
Also also also
I am either developing a nervous twitch
Or a habit of forgetting to eat until I start shaking getting lightheaded.
Possibly both.
