jianantonicI really need to update more. I always forget where I left off in the saga that is my life when I go too long between entries. Well, if I haven't said it before, they made me a manager at ADF. It's a good thing, because I was doing the work anyway. I'm still kind of irritated though because I haven't had a day off in four weeks and I won't have one off next week, either, because Janet is having surgery. That said, I've been asked not to take time off in July. I had originally planned to work parts of three bridge tournaments. We hired some new people, though, so Janet and Mike said I could take the entire time off - I make more at tournaments, so I decided that would be good. I scheduled myself at these tournaments ages ago, and now they're asking me to stay and work at the store the whole time. It's really frustrating, because either way I feel like I'm letting down an employer - although the right thing to do would be to go to the bridge tournaments and not feel bad about it because I was granted the time off. Urgh.
I complain a lot more these days about work, but I really do love my job still. I made three diamond sales last week, and everyone has been thanking me for doing such an awesome job. Jeremy put it in a way that made me feel really good - the owners can take off and we don't miss them, Janet can take off and we don't miss her, but when I take off, the store is fucked. It's sad, but true. When I do have time off, I always get multiple phone calls asking really stupid questions (yes, there definitely is such a thing as a stupid question). And now everyone is freaking out about the time I'm taking off in July. Tough shit, though, if they need me so badly they should pay me more. They can't afford to, though...but I'm doing my part to get them out of the hole. I'm really piling up the diamond sales. Last week, I had an engagement customer who came all the way from Blacksburg, a customer all the way from New Market, and a customer all the way from Fredericksburg, who all came to see me because they heard I was the best. Yay:)
It seems all I have to talk about is work. It's really all I do these days, after all. Sadly, I am starting to know what it feels like to be old. Sigh. I can't believe it's 7:30 already...I've been sitting at the computer all day trying to get caught up on my personal affairs. Sheesh. Anyhow I'll go do something fun now. Tata.
