On being the parent of a new contributor to our economy

How strange!

I'm really surprised at myself, but I just got mad at the manager of Bruster's Icecream here in little old Anderson, SC. She had the audacity to get angry with my little girl (not really so little, she's 16 now), because Amber had to ask for a change in her schedule due to her parents. In this case, I'm out of town and Renea's busy with our son.

Suddenly, the shoe is on the other person's foot! Usually I'm the one complaining about how teenager's don't seem to respect the workplace.
Of course, a manager can't schedule her worker's around the difficulties of a 16 year old! And yet, I'm still mad at her?

Go figure ...
