[Vent] Brother has a trail day today and he's going to be late :(

So my lil bro has his first trial day today. First real job. He didn't know what time he was supposed to start so I found the phone number for him - took about 10 min as it wasn't on the website.

He starts at 9:15. Great. That's 1 and a bit hours away. That's do-able. Or not! It takes 1.5 hours on the bus

So I found the translink info and sent him on his way. He can't even call them and let them know he's running late becase he has no credit. *sigh*

Hopefully it doesn't ruin his chances...

Maybe I should call them? What should I say?

Oh thats hard...I think it would be beneficial to give them a heads up he may be late. Make sure you tell him too so he says the same as you! i know when we have people turn up late without caling we always think they are rude for not letting us know - we are more than understanding if people tell us they were stuck in traffic, public transport was late etc etc

I called them and let them know, he said as long as he was there by 9:45 it'll be ok.

Brother thinks that he'll be there in 20 mins or so. Probably should have called him first but I honestly did not think that he would be on time - going by transinfo anyway.

Thanks Joeve
