Oh Mandee, I'm so sorry! I know what it's like to have the car break like that and there is just nothing you can do about it.
I can't believe they just fired you like that! I think all businesses are hurting right now and this is happening to a lot of people as they look for ways to cut costs. It's awful.
I really hope you get this new job and we will be thinking about you. Let us know as soon as you find out!
