To think my manager could have been more understanding?
I got a formal warning from my manager for being late to work on Friday. All ready to go out the door, my 4 year old daughter asks for a quick drink of milk, quickly got her a cup of milk and next minute she pours it all over me causing me to have to get changed again and then be late for work.
