I call my fiancé and ask her to talk to her father for me, to try and explain or apologize or something, but she says it's too late for that. Her voice sounds like she has been crying, and her responses are strangely cold. I don't see her for the next three days. On the fourth day I receive a formal letter from her father, informing me that not only am I fired, but he has forbidden me to marry his daughter, or to ever see her socially again.

I am heartbroken, and utterly confused. His reaction to my dirt pile project is baffling, since his company, "Dirt Piles Inc", is in fact a dirt piling company, the leader in the entire dirt piling industry. But it's too late to argue now.
