Complaint Department

My complaint of the day:

When your child is sick and not going to school where I usually pick them up at noon, call me so I don't look like an idiot waiting for a child that is not there. Apparently you had time to call the school to tell them he wouldn't be there but couldn't call the daycare who picks him up...

Speeding ticket. 60 in a 45. Five miles from home after a round trip to court in Sacramento.

I know of some daycares who charge for such things. It's amazing how considerate people can get when they're hit in the pocketbook.

I haven't run into this problem before, but that would be a good thing to charge for. It's not like his school is on my way home from the other school I go to at noon, it is out of the way. She called at about 5 last night to apologize and said he'd be in school today. I was nice about it but let her know how I felt about it.

Then she called just before 7 this morning saying he wouldn't be, but at least she called this time!
