How did he miss that he was being offered a job?
Our son got a phonecall early this morning, and he came out of his bedroom all happy, yet panicked!
It was a workplace calling, wondering why he wasn't at work this morning. Didn't he have the day right?
He had gone for an interview there Monday after school, and as much as he told us, he was to go back there today to just speak to someone more.
He didn't realize he was HIRED, oy!!!
Needless to say, he was showered, made his lunch, got his shopcoat, workboots on, and was out the door in 20 minutes. Gosh, I hope he's having a good day!
He did say he apologized on the phone, and explained what he 'thought' the owner had said, and he gave him the choice to still come in today, or start Monday.
I just told him to apologize once more when he got there, then just deal with whatever came...
Milan must have been thinking during his shower, because when he came out he told me - now it made sense to him why the man was talking about where to park and stuff.
So I don't know if it's my son's fault, or the owner's - but what a thing to have happen! Milan was embarrassed, and I knew he'd feel that once he got there, too, but I think he'll handle things okay.
He's supposed to begin work this Monday at the place he worked the two years before he began school, that was just arranged Wednesday - but that will require a phonecall. It was just to be back as a labourer, and they took him on knowing that he'd be looking for mechanics work, taking time for interviews, etc. - they are very easy-going (same company my husband works for).
Of course he's so happy he's gotten something in his field, since he just graduated as an automotive service technician yesterday! He was VERY grateful that he wasn't drinking last night, since it was the year-end BBQ and party for his class - good time to choose to be the driver!
Well, all in all, I just can't see myself being in the same type of situation - not realizing that one had been hired for a job! But, I wasn't there, and it's hard to say...
Anyone ever been in similar circumstances?
