Good News�Great News�and�.Bad News�But More Good News!!
|
I think this week must have been my lucky week. Hmmmm maybe I need to go check out my horoscope for the week. The Good News: On Tuesday I went to a play about women and HIV as a part of my new job. After the play there was a question and answer period and they had a quiz game and gave away prizes. I am the HIV QUEEN�.no not cause I have HIV. I just been doing HIV/AIDS education for the last 3 years or so. Anyways, I won a $$35.00 gift certificate to Target. That was the best gift cause I luuuuuve Target I can spend hours and lots and lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$ in that store. I get a lil moist just thinking about Target. So that $35.00 is gonna come in handy for getting some traveling goods for my trip. The Great News: On Saturday there is a comedy show staring Mike Epps (you know Day-Day From Next Friday and Friday After Next). I am dying to go but tryin to save the money I don�t have for my trip. I keep saying the only way I was going to go is if I got free tickets. So yesterday on my way home from work, I was listening to our local hip-hop station here 103.5 and they were giving away free tickets to the 103rd caller. And guess what ya�ll�..that�s right I won. Yipppey!!! The Bad news: I gotta work at the Avenue on Saturday and I don�t get off work until 8:30pm and the show starts at 8:00pm. I did the honest and right thing, I called and told them that I would not be able to work unless I could work a morning shift, my mistake was telling them why. My store manager wanted me to call the other lady that is scheduled in the morning and try to switch with her. I have been tryin to call her all last night, I left two messages and I have yet to hear back from this lady. I called my store manager back and told her the situation. Of course I realize that I have put her in a bind since all the other girls have requested the day off. But I have filled in for people more times than I can remember and it has always been last minute. I have come to work early at times when they were short staffed and I am one of their best workers. I have done all this and more for a whopping $6.75 and hour. Of course I don�t need to work at the Avenue anymore now that I have my �real job� but hey I get discount on clothes and I need a new work wardrobe. I talked to my Mom and Rie about the situation and they were both like if they don�t want to give you the day off then just quit. While I was on the phone with my store manger she was acting all shitty and such and got an attitude with me and told me that there was nothing she could do. I would have to work my scheduled shift. I made it clear to her that if I was not able to get the time I off then Friday would be my last day. Well of course she was not happy with that but�Oh well!! That�s life. I could have lied and said there was a family emergency or said that I was sick and could not come at the last minute (like the other girls do) but I was trying to do the right thing and tell the truth. I won�t EVER make that mistake again. I completely understand why the manager is pissed, I mean I would be too. But she has to understand that she wanted to be the store manger and one of the responsibilities she has to deal with is filling in for people when they don�t show or are not able to come in. I don�t want to leave on bad terms. Although I was planning on giving them a two week notice when I got back from my trip. I�m real tryin not to stress about it but I cant help it�.I feel really really guilty. But I�m sure I will get over that tomorrow night when I�m sitting there watching Day-Day act a fool!! But More Good News: I was trying to get my hair braided before I leave on Wednesday. The only time I have to get it done (cause I waited to the last minute like I always do) is Sunday. I got the number of a girl that braids from a co-worker and I heard she does a really good job. So I called her up last night and the only day she had available was Sunday too. Yay�I get to get my hair did. LOL WoW--------- I really think this is my Lucky week!!! |
