Woman fired from job after taking leave of absense to see her man off to war. What gives??

CALEDONIA, Mich. (AP) - A woman who took an unpaid leave of absence from work to see her husband off to war has been fired after failing to show up for her part-time receptionist job the day following his departure.

“It was a shock,” said Suzette Boler, a 40-year-old mother of three and grandmother of three. “I was hurt. I felt abandoned by people I thought cared for me. I sat down on the floor and cried for probably two hours.”

Officials at her former workplace, Benefit Management Administrators Inc., confirmed that Boler was dismissed when she didn’t report to work the day after she said goodbye to her husband of 22 years.

“We gave her sufficient time to get back to work,” Clark Galloway, vice president of operations for Benefit Management, told The Grand Rapids Press for a story published Wednesday.

He added that other factors were involved in the decision but he declined to elaborate.

On Oct. 16, Boler went with her husband, Army Spc. Jerry Boler, 45, to an Indianapolis-area airfield, where he and others in his National Guard unit gathered to be transported to Fort Dix, N.J. The unit soon will be deployed to Iraq, where he will help guard convoys from insurgent attacks.

Suzette Boler had received permission to take off work the week leading up to her husband’s departure. As a part-time employee at Benefit Management, she did not receive vacation pay and was not compensated for her time off.

When Boler returned home from Indiana on the night of Oct. 16, a few hours after leaving her husband at the airfield, she said she felt drained by the emotional ordeal.

She said she had told her bosses that she would try to return on Oct. 17 but if she could not, she would definitely be back Oct. 18, she said.

But on the afternoon of Oct. 17, she received a call from work telling her to come in the following day and get her things because she was being fired. Her pink slip said the reason was she failed to show up for work Oct. 17, a Monday, she said.

“If I had even an inkling that I would be fired for not coming in Monday, I would have been there,” she said.

Astros loose… joke for the day:

If Morgan Ensberg and his wife Christi ever have a daughter, I’d be worried for her when she’d start dating. Especially in October.

Just take a moment to imagine it:, he’s standing on the porch with a shotgun, yelling “Get your hands off of my daughter!”

But he knows there’s now way he’d ever hit anything with men in scoring position during the playoffs.

Four games. That’s all it took.

In four games, Chicago managed to reveal just how utterly defenseless Houston actually was this season. The 15-30 start wasn’t a fluke, after all. In all honesty, Houston never seemed to be in this series at any point. Batting collapsed, and pitching eventually wore out. Garner seemed to lose it as manager as the series wore on, and it made you wonder just where was the team that went 18 innings that day.

This is not to denigrate the performance of the White Sox, mind you. Chicago’s second team managed to do something my beloved Cubs seem totally incapable of doing- win the big games. The city of Chicago has bragging rights once more, as the White Sox are the champions of baseball.

Four fricking games.

Out.

They are off to the World Series for the first time… Thats what I’m talking about!
