Fired was too strong a word

So after the first call wondering if I'm ok or had really lost it..

Really-- we're not mean. We found her anther job. She left early this week for a family funeral. She was supposed to come back tonight after the funeral and let me know when she's starting with the new family- this monday or the following, but she missed the train. She missed ALL the trains. The last one left the station about an hour before she got to the station.

So.. until she figures this out and calls.. there is nothing I can do. What she usually does is radio (nextel) her family who relays the message by phone that she'll be at XYZ place in an hour (the time it takes from boarding the train until it arrives.) They base this hour estimate on the thought that there will be a train magically leaving at that time. I thought she understood the train runs on a set schedule, but... no. I guess not.
