I got one of those phone calls the other afternoon that everyone dreads getting. This phone call was not bad news but for me, it was bad enough. Steve broke down and got a job. A real, honest to goodness, his name is on the schedule, legitimate paying job. The bad news for me is that he got a job with the company I work for, working the same shift, that I do. I am out because of foot surgery and as soon as Steve told me the news, I implored him not to tell anyone he knew me.
I did give Steve credit for getting the job on his own and I told him I was proud of him then I turned around and immediately started a pool as to how long he would last. I generously gave him a month. That is how much faith I had in him. Most everyone else in the pool gave him less than a week and there were a few that had it down to hours instead of days or weeks. That is what friends do for each other.
