Argh, I'm sorry for assuming. The way you presented your venting just seemed like you thought all teens were like that.
You probably would want to hire me.
I always make sure I get someone to work my shift on the RARE occasion I have to miss work. (I've only missed once because I was coughing so badly it would have been gross to work- I work for Starbucks and no one wants some person coughing on their drinks.)
