I had just started school; it was my first semester in college. I was excited and, tired all at once. I work at CVS Pharmacy as a Photo Tech. I was responsible for coming into work on time. I have to rush out of school every day, to get to work on time. It was Wednesday, my day off from work, and I had the entire day to myself. It was my day to relax from the exhausting week I had. My husband Daniel worked, and he would not be home for a few hours. I had not seen my family for a while, and my older sister was coming down to Boston to visit. It felt great to see her, because of my crazy schedule. I never get to see much of her, and I took advantage of my day of to spend with her.
The day was going great, I hadn't had that much fun in a long time. With school and work, I had to put a lot aside to focus on what's important. I remember talking to my sister about this event I had to attend, when my phone rang. I immediately ignored the call, and put my phone on silent. It was my job calling. I knew that anytime my supervisor calls on my day off, is to ask if I can come in to work to cover someones shift. I honestly did not want to go in to work, and I did not want the fun to stop. My family decided to go to the mall. This took my mind of my phone, and I continued enjoying the day with the family.
After spending hours shopping and browsing the entire mall my family, I decided to sit down and eat. As I was eating, I remembered I had put it on silent to avoid going in to work. Looking at my phone, I see four missed calls from CVS. I also see three missed calls from my husband. My first instinct was to call him back and, explain why I did not answer the phone when he called. As I'm calling back, he hangs up after he tells me, "I'll text you." I wait for him to text me, but I began to grow impatient, so I text him first. He finally texted me back telling me he got fired.
My heart dropped to my stomach, and I began to cry.
