Me *Thinking I'm 2 seconds away from being fired* Hey boss. Listen. I just wanted to apologize for missing some work days. The bus I take just sometimes doesn't show up and it just going to be even worse. I know I'm walking on ice now but I would really like to ke-

Boss Oh no. You're fine. We fire you after three no call no shows but those are only for mandatory events.

Me Oh so I'm fine?

Boss Yep you don't have anything to worry about. I appreciate your honesty though.

Me But wait a second. Does that mean there are work days that aren't mandatory? So there are days I can just choose not to come in?

Boss Well unless you need the extra hours but that's why the other dates are first come first serve. Once we fill a reduced quota, we send everyone else home. So no. Not necessarily.

Me . . .

Boss Sunday and Monday are mandatory. Hope you didn't have anything planed.
