As suspected SS Zippy16 lost his first job after less than 3 months (chronic tardiness and improper procedure for taking time off)-that's right fired from the job Daddykins got him.

Zippy comes back from Europe tonight (his dad will break the sad news to Zippy) and then gush over everything about the trip. I have the theme to Love Story playing in my head-when they hook up! (thanks Crayon!-HA)-needless to say I am not going to witness the grand reunion-but be at home with a glass of wine so I can at least tolerate the "welcome home" Daddy will insist on giving loser Zippy!

Only breaks now will be the maybe one 24 hour visit with Bm EOW-until then it is 24/7 video gaming when not doing mediocre in school. Can't wait for summer!

16 and can't get to work on time??? Maybe the video games need to be sold LOL.

Get rid of the video games and give this kid a swift kick in the pants-but then again I am not his mother or parent and according to my DH "Consequences don't work for Zippy"-boy I guess the world will have a few natural consequences for Zippy-and I can tell you they will not be pretty!

"Consequences don't work for Zippy"? WOW! That's an amazing statement.

Jeez, what a bozo.

She just got her first job, we'll see how long that lasts. SD16 was talking to a friend on the phone the other day and told her SD16 doesn't plan to move out on her own because things are too expensive. She'd rather live at home and continue to have BM support her indefinitely.

Surely, the Zipster can manage to get himself another job by summertime...

Oh my God, what was I saying??? That would be the RESPONSIBLE thing to do!!! Oh dear, we can't have any of THAT!!! :jawdrop:

(regaining composure)...So sorry to hear that, Endora. However, why am I NOT surprised??? Three months was more than the delicate Zippy could handle. I'm surprised your DH doesn't give him a nice, big, CASH REWARD for TRYING!!! (Sounds like what my DH would do)

All I can say is...Enjoy your wine!

Charge a nice relaxing pedi to him instead! The results are much nicer (no hangover), and it's almost sandal season Dirol . And the gravey on top? Gets you out of the house and away from it all, for at least one delicious, stress free hour... MMmm.....
