pray for my sister

[petrie86]

My younger sister just got fired from her job. Well it really was her own fault, she's been unhappy at her job.(17 and works at a salon washing hair) She's been wanting to go to hair school but were waiting till she turns 18 in march. Anyways Ysterday bekah, my sister, was having a bad day and her boss was annoying her and basically making bek do all the dirty work as usual. I went to visit her to cheer her up, I bought a pizza pie with me for everyone to eat in the salon since it was around 7pm and no one had eaten. I ate a sllice real quick with bek then she got back to work. ARound 8 bekah called me crying saying she meant to send me a text message basically venting about how much she hates her boss and she accidently send it to her boss instead of me. Naturally her boss Sam was very unhappy when she recieve the text, and sat bek down and talked to her. Sam didnt know if it was a good idea that they work together anymore and told bekah she would think about all of this and tell her tomorrow what she wanted to do. this morning bek met her boss at the salon to talk and sam decided to let her go. She's upset bc she really needs this job... with all that's happened to her in the last few months with my family and getting kicked out due to religious difference, now she lost her job.
I guess things happen for a reason, and she deserved it for being so stupid but I'm just asking that you all could pray for her to grow up a little and maybe realize she needs to take life a little more serious now. thanks for letting me vent, there's only so much drama i can handle.

17 year olds are not known for making the best choices. I hope this is a blessing in disquise and she finds a job she is happy with!

I'm sorry Bek lost her job.. I know you all have been under some stress lately. Maybe she can speak to Sam for a good reference. Despite their personal difference it should hav no bearing on her work ethics.
sending a big cyber hug your way,

I have a 16 yr old and I can see her doing something like this. Your sister is having to grow up so fast. Unfortunatley they learn the hard way. Your family is in my prayers.

Oh boy, that's never a good thing to do - accidentally either emailing the wrong person or texting! Yikes! But at least I bet she'll never ever do that again! ;) So, in the long run it's a good lesson learned and she'll be even better at the next job I know she'll get :) Too bad though there are some things we learn the hard way like DeAnna said! ;)

Sending out lots of prayers that she will find an even better job that she likes!!

thanks everyone... Sometimes I just wanna shake her and SCREAM WAKE UP!!!!!!! lol But I was the same way when I was her age. I also had to grow up fast although I remember being so careless or dumb. She's has ALOT of blonde moments.

I just called her to make sure she's ok, she tried calling her old boss at the daycare and unfortunatly they just hired 2 new girls to work there so they dont have any hours for bek. I guess we will have to find her a job at the mall. She's being very difficuly saying she wants a fun job, and doesnt want to work at a dumb stores. My older sister suggested somewhere like walmart or shoprite or something like that. Bek of course said no way! She's the type of girl who would want to work at hollister or abercrombie and fitch. I yelled at her and said no way!!! they only pay $5-6 an hour and you need more money, plus they take taxes out. she's used to working off the books so she'll freek out when she see' how much taxes are taken out. Welcome to the real world bekah. She's like i want to find a job that i like and can have fun, i got mad at her and said well right now u dont have a choice... that sometimes jobs arent always fun. Like my job, i work in a bank... i dont love my job but it pays the bills.
As you can tell she needs to grow up ALOT!

Thanks again for the prayers and support. I need it right now... iyiyiyiyi

17 is such a hard age. Then, when you add what she is going through with your family, it must be overwhelming her. I hope she will be able to get another job, soon.

[traceann]

LOL, oh if it were only that simple huh? Finding the perfect fun job right off the bat! I am still waiting for my perfect fun job - of course, I am expecting it to fall right in my lap. LOL!! ;) But until then, I will work at the one that's not so fun...*sigh*

Sharon's right, being 17 stunk, it's a hard age to be at all the way around...

Still lots of prayers heading your way and hers! ;) Sounds like she's got some GREAT sisters looking out for her and guiding her - she can't help but do well with that kind of help!!! :)

Yes 17 is a very hard age. But she has to realize she does not have a choice in the matter anymore. Growing up is so hard and she is dealing with alot.

Maybe you need to ask what would be better.. A job she is a little unhappy with or going back to where she was with your parents. Remind her of how unhappy she was in that situation.
She did make that choice to leave and now she is going to have to grow up a little faster than she planned. Just like you did..

Things will work out though, she will soon find out that most jobs are not fun. Like you said they just pay the bills.

Sending you many prayers..:pray::pray:
