"Jon, I'm releasing you at 1:45 PM tomorrow."
"Why?"
"We're having our holiday party and…"
"Right."

—"No temps allowed."
—Kids-tabled! Ouch.
—Normally, I'd be thrilled to leave work early, but I'm not salaried and was counting on 40 hours of pay. Come Christmas Eve, I'll be unemployed again.
—So you lose three hours of pay. That's what? $12?
-_-
—Three hours and 15 minutes of pay. I doubt she rounds up.
