I technically got fired for being late (after I gave them a 6 hour notice), but I was really fired for having a bad attitude. I had family up visitng from FL while a hurricane wrecked havoc. I took the 1st half of the day to drive them around getting gas cans (there was no gas in FL at the time) and shit like penut butter and bread the day they left to go back. When I got into work, they sent me home for being late. I told them where they could go and they let me go home for good. Worked out though. I got another job making more money doing less work. I won't give any names, but it was a large tax software company run by biblical principles.

I just got an update from my mom and there's a new company policy banning smoking from any location they own (they own half of the town). A bunch of people are quitting and shit. The worst part is that as more people e-file tax returns, the more money they make. The company president was one of like 5 people in the pilot program for the irs e-file program in the 80s. He's made millions of dollars. Now they make tax software for professionals and file millions of tax returns go through thier system each year.
