The precious truck

Today, I got fired because, while responding to an emergency page for the volunteer fire department to help find a man in a field with a gunshot wound, I backed into a rock with the company truck that I drive to and from work. Nobody asked about the guy with the bullet inside him. He's OK now, in case anyone cares. FML

Today, when I got to work, I found out that I was being laid off. Two hours later, I found out my boss had my name on the wrong list. I was elated. I went to lunch, but on the way back was rear-ended, in the rain. I was an hour and a half late getting back to work. I was fired upon returning. FML

No, he got fired from his paying job because he damaged the company truck while responding for his volunteer job.

Yeah, that's a whole 'nother world of hurt! At least, he should be responsible to repair the truck and face some sort of sanction for using it for non-business reasons. That probably could've been less than termination, but they might have wanted to get rid of him anyways.

Fired from a volunteer job? That's gotta hurt. You can't even give away your labor! Give my regards to the real victim in this story -- get well, Little Truck!
