I am such a problem solver! I looked up online all the information about unjust dismissals and how to log a complaint against your employer. Sam is doing that today. I typed up a letter explaing the whole story about Sam going in and then leaving because he wasn't feeling well. Added in there that he left before his shift had even started, allowing plenty of time for them to call someone in if necessary. I also made a reference that he has been employed with them more than 12mths but less than 5yrs and is entitled to sick time. I also came up with a way to go to Saint John tommorrow. I get off at 9:45pm, way to late for anyone to come and get me, so I applied to use some of my banked time to get off early. I was number 2 on the waiting list to be approved so I knew I would never get approved. I emailed the head of human resources and explained that it was my mothers 50th birthday and that I really would like to spend time with her for her Birthday (adding that I would start earlier if I could leave at 5pm-5:30pm). She emailed me back very quickly and asked if I would start at 11am and work until 6pm, with my lunch from 5:30pm-6pm, so i could still leave at 5:30pm. I told her I would start whenever she wanted me to. Problem solved!! Woohoo!! We are going to see the movie Vantage Point thsi evening. Richard is even coming! I hope he can stay awake in the theatre. Write later :)
