Sheer Ridiculousness

Sometimes, people forget to do simple things.  It's a fact of life, and is totally acceptable.  However, sometimes it gets to the point of ridiculousness.  This is the case for me.  If you read the other post I have written, you would know that I now work at Red Lobster.  That was a half-lie.  I am employed, but I haven't worked yet.  First off, I had two different interviews and was hired.  Everything was fine.  However, after they told me I was hired, they told me I had orientation about two days from then and never mentioned the time that I needed to be there.  I asked what the specific time was, and they simply said "afternoon".  What is that supposed to mean?  Well, I just got there at four o'clock because that seemed like a reasonable time.  Somehow, that was late.  Thanks for telling me.  At the end of orientation, they told me that they would call me soon and tell me when training was.  They also told me that I start work the week of the 23rd.  Well, they never called.  My friend Shaun works there, and told me that he would be training me on that Thursday coming up.  Because of that, I decided to call and ask if that was true.  I called twice, left a message, and they never got back to me.  Shaun's mom, who also works there, then called for me a few days later.  They said they would call me, which never happened.  Also according to Shaun, I'm on the schedule for Friday.  That's the busiest day of the week, and two days from now.  I haven't been trained, and they haven't called me to tell me.  So yeah, it has become ridiculous.
