For the longest time, my daughter kept telling me that I had to be there at her ballet recital.
She was always so excited telling me about all the new dance moves she had and she would show me her moves. I told her I wouldn’t miss her ballet recital for the world and I meant it. Well, I was surprised when my boss told me that I had to stay at work on the night of the ballet recital. I told him about it for months and suddenly he was being a pain to me about it. I had requested that day off early because I had to be there on time. He told me that I could just tell my daughter I would be at the next one. Clearly, this guy doesn’t know much about kids, or he just doesn’t care enough. I told him I was going to my daughter’s ballet recital no matter what and he told me I was fired then. I just left fuming, but I got it together so that I could smile at my daughter when she saw me in the audience. She did a fantastic job and I was delighted to be there for her. I also noticed that the temperature control settings were just right in the auditorium and I really appreciated that. I thought I might not even be able to adjust the temperature control settings to comfortable temperatures if I wasn’t working, but I knew that I would go looking for a new job first thing in the morning. I was actually surprised when the boss called me up, apologized and said I still had a job if I wanted it.
