Monday 28th September

I did it, I managed to get myself up and out of bed and make it to work! I was adamant I was going to be suspended with pay, something I was kinda looking forward to. So I stroll into the store with my head held up high, determined not to portray any signs of surrender! I was going to take my punishment like a man, so my manager calls me to the back office to have the “talk”. I’m so ready for the talk, I’m ready to walk out the store and well you know the rest.

“So what do you want to you?” he asks me, “You can go, hand your notice in and leave or stay and actually WORK!”

AND THAT’S ALL.

Hmmm, what happened to the whole ranting and raving, I had pictured in my head, nothing not even a shriek from him, in fact, goodness knows if I was actually dreaming this part but he was (something I’ve hardly ever experienced) NICE to me. The shock of it all managed to bring a mere tear to my eye. My ears couldn’t believe what had just surpassed them; it took minutes for the words to digest in my membrane! He was actually pleasant, kind, compassionate; I think I even had this urge to hug him, crazy I know! So now I’m stuck with the decision of choosing to stay or leave, but if I leave where would I go and who would seriously take me on! I’m hopeless with decision making, sometimes I hyperventilate over choosing what coloured socks to wear the morning, could you imagine what I would be like over guys.....oh what to do? All this thinking has seriously tired me out....I think I’m gona take that much needed nap now....!

Wednesday 24th September

So I get this call from Miss AK, during the day, which is strange because she’s supposed to be at work and the manager doesn’t like any calls being made on the shop floor. So I answer it, “I’VE BEEN SACKED! And you’re next!” She yells. For some reason this surge of panic shudders through my body, I don’t know why, I’m not exactly  encrypted to my job but the fact that I’ve never really been sacked from anywhere, well as a matter of fact I’ve never really been in any major trouble, no detentions, suspensions etc! “What happened?” I shrieked, “I’ve been suspended till further investigation, for kinda borrowing a phone from the store and kinda forgetting to return it.” Yeah I think there is a word for that....hmmmm....what is it......urm STEALING! I see why was sacked. The manager advised Miss AK as “a friend” to leave quietly and to not attend the disciplinary. Ok fair enough that’s her excuse for being sacked but what was mine, “closing down the store early on Sunday.” Miss AK for the record isn’t suppose to tell me any of this, the manager strongly forbid her from discussing her expulsion with me but did suggest something before she left, to “shake me up so I leave quietly too!” How is one supposed to shake someone up without discussing the reason behind it, “Oh you best leave work...or else, ok so take care bye!”  I think the manager’s little plan back fired, I have my meeting with on Monday, I was so tempted not to show but I had Mr K (another manager from a different store) urging me to just show, he told me the worse possible outcome would lead to suspicion and that’s basically an unplanned time off work WITH PAY, so everyone wins...I guess? So now all I have to do is show up on Monday and act all surprised and dumb with the manager, something that comes quite natural to me really!

On a different note, I met up with Miss AK yesterday; we were soon joined by Dr Greeneyes. So this was their second official date and guess who tagged along throughout...ME! I felt like the salad in hamburgers, (something that we don’t really want but it’s just part of the package!) So from 1 in the afternoon till 10 I stuck with them, like superglue! So we had drinks, I did all the talking, whilst they gazed in one another’s eyes, pool I took most of the shots, which elongated the game, as my pool skills are not that great, but I do seem to play better after a few drinks which is really odd. Even the movies, I tagged along! We watched “The strangers!” which by the time the credits ran had damaged my vocal cords beyond repair. You know when you’re watching a scary movie and you have that one really annoying person screaming, in a high pitch voice, which outshines an aggressive cat, well....that was ME! I screamed so much you would have thought I was actually in the movie BEING attacked by the funny masked killers! I gave Miss AK a deaf ear and Dr Greeneyes a scratched up arm...I’d say it was a pretty tense movie.  So well now I’m joining them for a third date, can’t wait I’m actually getting a few butterflies in my stomach. I’ve decided since I can’t get a decent date of my own,  I’m going to continue joining them on theirs, so SAD but I’m hooked now!

So if you have a date and you need maybe an extra chaperon....well just give me a shout....seriously give me a shout!

Monday 22nd September

Disaster strikes! Only a few days left till my manager is back, which means I have a few days to enjoy my finally needed freedom, before his sexist macho masculinity kicks in! NEVER LEAVE ME IN CHARGE! I've messed up so many times, these last few weeks, it’s unreal. Yesterday I closed the store an hour after I opened it, purely because I was bored and alone, noone else showed up! Thats an absolute disciplinary but foolish move will just give the manager satisfaction and the fuel he needs to use against me, oh well i give up! I guess Im just broadcasting this news to get myself into some more serious trouble! Wait till the manager gets back, in fantasy land I can visualize myself saying, “I don’t give a tiny rat's ass about this poxy job, KICK MY ASS!” but in reality it’s going to have to be the “I WAS SO CONFUSED!” excuse. “I was working on my own and the pressure just became too much, I'll just crumble, the manager is a very intimadating man you know! Oh well wait till tomorow....see what happens!
