Ding Dong the Wicked Witch is Dead!

I got fired from my job. Yup. After all I have been through, I got fired. Want the story? Here it is.























Last week Wednesday was my day off and Thursday I was scheduled to work the night shift. However on Thursday morning I get a message from Colby (the Riverdale manager that is managing our studio for a while) telling me that I did not need to come into work that day. So I don't. Friday I am scheduled to work the morning shift. I walk in and as I am about to clock in, Kristin (a girl from Riverdale who comes to our studio to help out because we are so short handed) tells me that I do not have to clock in that day. I ask why. And this is no joke, with a smile on her face she says "Because Colby has decided to fire you." And then she starts laughing, actually laughing in my face and tells me to call Colby if I have any questions. Any questions? Try a million questions! And just as a side note, if I had to tell someone they were being fired, I would be devastated. I would probably cry while telling them. I might be mistaken, but I think most human beings would. I have a suspicion that Kristin is not human. She was more than thrilled to deliver that little peice of news.

So back to the story. I walk out to my car and give Colby a call. I ask her what happened and she said that she fired me because I didn't show up for work on Thursday. I told her about the message I had gotten that morning and she claimed that she had "accidentally" sent that message on Wednesday. She then admits to me that she has been really mean to me on purpose trying to get me to quit because she wants "out with the old, and in with the new." I am not quite sure what she is getting at so I confront her about the message again. So she tells me. She says "Well, I was trying so hard to break you. But you didn't break. I was actually surprised you lasted as long as you did. But eventually I had to take matters into my own hands. I am so relieved I don't have to deal with you anymore." Thats a direct quote, my friends. My boss sabotaged me.

At first, I was SO pissed. How can someone do something like that in the professional world and get away with it??!!! But as I have been thinking about it . . . . Oh the RELIEF! I NEVER have to see Colby again! I NEVER have to work with her, or be yelled at by her, or be called a B****! I don't ever have to suffer at her hand again! She is relieved to be rid of me?! Hell NO! I am relieved to be rid of HER!

(My co-worker Wayne and I have had many conversations about how Colby makes both of us swear more than any other person we know. So as you read my blog, and I swear a lot while talking about my job, it's because of her! I promise I usually do not have such a dirty mouth! Just wanted you to all know that!)

So anywho.... I am a little more than freaked out about what I am going to do now. I applied for a hostess job at a restraunt the other day and they told me that they had recieved 508 applications in FIVE DAYS! 508!!!!! There are so many people without jobs in Logan, and that really freaks me out. For every job, there are literally hundreds and hundres of people. That is terrible odds! I don't know how I am going to pay for Buzz (my car). I don't know how I will pay for rent. Or school. Or gas. Or even food. But one thing is for sure, I would rather sell Buzz, move home with my parents (ah!), quit school, and starve to death rather than ever have to work with such a witch again! And that's the truth!!!

Hell is Everlasting

Let me start out by saying, I hate my job. In case you hadn't picked up on that in earlier posts, now you know. I. Hate. My. Job. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
Our manager has quit and until we find a new manager the Riverdale manager is taking over for a while. We are also short employees, so occasionally she brings some of her employees up to help out. Well, as I walked in to work today I overheard my manager talking to one of her employees from Riverdale. She was saying how we had a really good sales average so far that day. It was about a $75 sales average, and our goal is $60. She then said this "However, I know it will drop because Kristi and Wayne are working the night shift, and let's face it, Kristi is not a very good photographer, and Wayne is not a very good sales person. So basically with both of them together, they will manage to kill our sales averager quite nicely." Wow. Thanks for the self esteem boost there. I hadn't even been there a minute, and wanted to go jump off a cliff. The rest of the time she is there she keeps up a constant trashing of me, of how the Logan studio is run, of the employees that work, or have worked there, and pretty much everything else that comes to her mind. She follows me into my first siting and gives me ideas for poses and props to use and oh my heck I have worked there for more than a year! I freaking know how to do my job, so leave me the heck alone!!! Did I mention I hate my job?

Let me just end by saying that Wayne and I left the studio sitting at about a $95 sales average. Suck that Colby!
