We had a very nice anniversary. We went to BrewBakers for dinner at 5:30pm and had brie for an appetizer and steak for dinner(mom had mentioned they had good steaks- she was right). After dinner it still wasn't time for to go to the theatre (which I was able to keep a secret until we called the cab at 7:20pm. Sam was very surprised when I said the Playhouse, he had thought we would end up going to a movie. We got to the theatre alittle early. We went to the counter to pick them up and they had my name printed right on them! It was great! "The Blues Brothers Revival" that we saw was very entertaining. It ended at 10pm, and we could not get an answer from any of the cab companies (they were so busy b/c it was raining so badly). We ran over to the Tim Hortons on the corner of Regent and King and went in. They were about to close (at 11pm) and we still couldn't get ahold of anycabs. Sam ventured out into the rain to see if he could hail a cab while he tried to call cabs on his cell. He eventually was able to wave one over and he was kind enough to give us a drive. We got home at 11pm and just hung out for abit before going to bed. Thursday I woke up and kept hitting my snooze button, which in turn lead me to sleeping in past the time to catch my bus, so I cabbed it to work. Work went by quickly and I had a pretty nice day. I got home and Sam told me that he had gone into work around 4pm (his shift started at 5pm), wasn't feeling well and decided that he couldn't stay and work. He tired to call the kitchen manager (Donna-who has been a real bitch towards him) , couldn't and just ended up telling the dining room supervisor that he was going home. I went to work Friday and when I got home he told me that Donna had fired him for leaving (before his shift even started) saying that he shouldn't have left. He was very upset and I told him that it was o.k, we would file a complaint against her with the labour board (I think we can do that, I'm going to call Sue and ask her about it later), and he can file for his unemployment. That was not right for her to fire him. She didn't have the right to fire him! He always goes into work early, covers for other people when they want time off or call in sick. That's not right. Mom says that we should be able to get severence pay and his vacation pay. He's never taken any of his EI before, so he has lots built up. We decided that he should go back to school and take some upgrading and classes while he is able to get his EI. Mom said that we should type the whole story up, listing the dates and times etc to have a record I guess. He decided to take the bus to Saint John tonight to go home for his brothers birthday. I'm going to type it all up and he's going to go to the labour board first thing Monday when he gets back to Fredericton. This may be a blessing in disguise, he was very unhappy working there since Donna took over as the kitchen manager. This way he can take some time off and take classes at NBCC or something.
