We're boycotting Pickles Deli
Last Thursday, Adam went around to all of the places he applied asking if they had received his applications and also if they were hiring. It was amazing, but he got asked in for an interview at Pickles (one of our very favorite deli restaurants because you can get just about any food you want, prepared any way you want. They even threw chocolate chips in Sophie's waffles when she requested it. You don't find that in a restaurant very often.). The interview went well, and about two hrs later, they called him to say that he was hired! We were all dancing and very happy. But then a thought came to me...did Adam make it very clear that he would not be able to work Sundays? He called back and told them that, and they said no problem, he didn't have to work Sundays and could he please start at 9:30 Monday morning? Again, we were so excited (me more than anybody else). But then, 15 minutes later, the Pickles manager called and fired Adam, saying that they had talked to the boss and he told them that they specifically needed someone who could work Sundays. I think Adam is the first person in history to be hired and fired in 15 minutes. Truly, that was SO unprofessional of Pickles. Why didn't they read on his application that he wouldn't be available on Sundays. And why did they say its ok when he called to confirm it? I was and am actually pretty crushed. That boy is taking up so much of my time and mental/emotional energy that I was enjoying the idea of spending more time with Sam and Sophie while he was at work. Stupid Pickles. Also, when being faithful about keeping the Sabbath Day holy, there are blessings, right? I thought that the blessing would be getting a job that was good and right for Adam. But Chad pointed out that maybe the blessing is that Adam shouldn't have a job right now. He will have a lot of things on his plate in the fall - he tried out for and made the school choir, and there's cross country, and a full schedule of classwork. And there is only 1 2/3 months left until school starts...so I am trying to have faith. My faith is tested every single day.
