that the second occasion , regardless the reason you would be fired .....
now I knew why all the other guys arrived one half to three quarters of

If I heard that, I would leave that f^&*(g place at the first

I just love those employers that bitch that your 5 minutes late, must
be on some conceded power trip if you asked me. I'm typically their
best employee and do twice as much and break less so they can kiss my
ass on crap like being late. Those are usually the ones that will give
you quarter raises and never go beyond a certain amount hoping you
will quit so they can get another sucker in there for a year or two
before they realize they are being taken also. Not implying anything
to the OP.

BTW, I know a real bi-polar bear and they couldn't keep a job to save
their life. Get a great job and within the first week they need a day
off, next week it's two until they loose the job.
