I am such an ass...

Wouldn't be humor, but it turned out to be...


Poem Artwork


 


Almost lost my job,


Nothing I could do but sob,


Was my own fault,


Would have had to get a job,


Serving at the local counter a malt…


 


I did not call out for three days,


I was sick so I thought they would understand my ways,


But a no call/no show brought about problems they did say,


Its in the handbook, you should’ve known, of the company & their ways…


 


So I talked to the HR lady,


She was nice but firm,


Fortunately she did keep me employed,


If I were her, I would have called me a worm…

Ed,

You learned a valuable lesson in all of this; don't berate yourself. Hold your head up and thank God you weren't canned. Now: that pic. Why are you wearing a Texas cowboy hat? *grins*

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
