And why would a girlfriend change your cooperative attitude? |

Your attitude to mental health days depends on the maturity in the attitude of the people around you at work, much of the time.

Your girlfriend was one of your sisters!?
Still, why did you let another person change your cooperative attitude? |

How hilarious! How DARE an employer expect honesty and productivity in exchange for a salary!
I'm beginning to get a clearer picture of why you have employment problems, Molly. |

Because the employer also takes such days, Jamie. Wake up!
Why do so many employers complain when one arrives late or takes days off, even when those days are due, but then "allows" one to stay overtime day after day?

Thing is, Jamie, we can be sure you will never be out of a job while Disney exists. :P |
