In my defence, she hung up when she called. I would have explained, but she never gave me a chance. Same thing happened at home. I got yelled at before I had a chance to explain.

My job requires this from me sometimes. Things like this don't happen often, but they do happen from time to time (once in a few months). She knows this. I could switch jobs, but I do this because the pay is not bad (could be worse) and I'm usually free after work (no late night calls, or maybe a few in a year, that's it) so I can spend more time with my son, rather than making money. It's a choice I made for reasons that are out of the scope of this reply and I would rather not get into that.
