[Quiet Man Cometh]

They probably have latin names somewhere, I just have no clue what they are. You're right though. Just because a flea is on a cat doesn't mean it's a "cat flea." There apparently are types that prefer people over other animals though. Maybe it's the lack of hair in the way? I don't know. With all the pills I take I'm probably toxic anyway. ;).

Sorry Feyth. I'm in a western time zone and I get up late. Otherwise I'd be on earlier.

Sucks to be called in on your day off but I imagine the boss wasn't so happy either about a staff member not showing. If that happens just make sure you get paid a boatload for it ;). Or find the legal regulations about how many hours you can work per week and throw that in his face if it helps.

I've been in that boat too, but mostly because my old boss was prone to stopping by the store and telling some staff to head home if he didn't think it was busy enough to merit everyone there. That was when I worked at a coffee shop and at one point a co-worker was on her break, ignoring the fact that with only two people on she had to be ready to work anyway if needed, but supervisor had to leave for a few, -hence there were only 2 of us- and I got stuck simultaneously working both front counter and drive through at the same time. And the sandwich station.

Sounds like a good time to start looking for a new job. I need to get on that too since my job right now is only temporary. Can't guarantee it will go past early November.
