[QUOTE="tinamarie1, post: 83543, member: 255"] About 10 years ago, my grandmother was hit by a drunk driver. She was closterphobic (sp?) and refused to get into the ambulance and go to the hospital. So she called me at work and said her chest hurt really bad and she wanted me to take her to the ER. I was working for a pediatrician at the time and his crazy wife ran the office. They were both at their house eating lunch and i called him and asked if this was ok (for me to leave and take her to the ER). He said absolutely! Well, she had a collapsed lung and some other internal injuries and needed surgery asap. I called back to the office to let them know what was going on and that I was staying until she got out of surgery. His wife answered the phone and after I told her all of this, she said, you know Tina, your grandmother is NOT your responsibility, and we really need you here too. Well, my mom was a hair dresser and had just poured perm solution onto this ladys hair and she could not just pick up and leave (she has a little shop where she is the only worker). Anyway, scared for my job, I (stupid stupid) left the hospital and came back to work that evening. That set off his wife in the worst way! She said, why are you back? I didn't tell you you had to come back! I just calmly said, no its ok, I will go back to the hospital after work and be with her. I guess this made her feel like complete :censored: in front of the other girls and her husband. A few days later, he fired me. He said I was rude to his wife. It was also 2 weeks before Christmas and we had no extra money. I boo hooed for what seemed like days. I only lived 2 blocks from his office and every time I drove by I would think of evil things I could do to get even...but I never did. That is the only job I have ever been fired from. But they were the idiots, and I have to accept that and move on. I was blessed about a month later when I got my first job as an insurance agent and I have been doing that for the last 12 years (up until we moved). I look at it as a blessing he fired me, but it sure was hard to see that at the time. [/QUOTE]
