['My friend was scheduled to work with me the other day and I was really excited.', 'I bet, its always nice to get a chance to work with someone you really like.  Where do you work?', "I'm a firefighter, but when I got there, they had shipped him somewhere else so that sucked."]
That does suck.  I work at Taco Bell making burritos.
I got to work the other day all excited to work with my friend.  Turns out he got moved somewhere else at the last minute.
