So my sister just got a job...

Basically, what happened was that my manager asked me if anyone I knew was looking for a job, and I told him about my sister.
You know, sometimes I think I really shouldn't have.

She's just... She's the youngest in our family, and a bit spoiled about money (less so now, but still). For me, my job is the most important thing to me, second only to school. Maybe because I was raised to believe that money, independence, and the freedom to do whatever the fuck you want go hand in hand. Rescheduling or skipping work and training is such an anathema to me that I cannot in any way understand why she would want to do that.
She's a bit spiritual, and she wants to reschedule her training next week to go on a week-long trip to this spiritual get-together/party/whatever-the-fuck-I-don't-even-know. I guess you can tell I'm agnostic only in the most scientific sense. I don't believe in God, or religion or anything like that. I do believe there is something greater than us out there, but it probably isn't interested in us in anything less than for studying and experimenting. But who the fuck knows? Or cares? Smh.

I just wish that she had gotten a job on her own, so if she quit, or rescheduled all the time, I wouldn't be involved in it, and my manager wouldn't look to me for answers.

Money... It always leaves as fast as it comes.
