    He probably took the bus home. Will be very lucky to have a job after such a screwup.

    Well when everybody asks you how many times you were dropped as a child and says go flip burgers, not drive truck, not generally appreciated, no matter how right they are. Hopefully he's not driving a different truck, doubt you can retrain that out even.
