My daughter, Katie, lost her job at Hogi Yogi last week. She wasn't aware that she was scheduled to work on a day other than her usual day. So she was fired for not showing up. My trick knee says that she zoned out when she was being told about the schedule change. But it's good to have these learning experiences while you're young so that you eventually will turn into a productive member of society.

Today, she hit the pavement turning in applications to all those teenage work places that are within walking distance. And the effort paid off. She is working right now as a bus person in a Mexican restaurant. She was glowing when she went off to work. And she told me that she will check the schedule every day before she leaves there to make sure she knows when she works next.

Happy day. Now we need to work on her grades. It just never ends. LOL
