And the world was turned upside down...
In a matter of seconds too! I can't believe it. So here is how my day went.
Woke up at Vicent's, I spent the night there the last two nights. It was weird, I got like no sleep. Okay I never get any sleep but this time I really didn't get any! And I couldn't come online and post or do anything fun because I was at his place. Remind me not to go to his place again. I can't sleep nor do fun internet things cause well I don't want him knowing about this blog. I hope he doesn't find it.
Decided that I wasn't going into work until 9am. Called work at like 8am and they didn't even notice that I wasn't there. Geez! You leave early one day and you are like a meanlingless nothing the next. Actually that wasn't the case. Brad was suppose to open but Mary opened because he called her and told her that he was sick. So Mary didn't know that I was suppose to be there. I worked till 1pm and ran home to put my stuff down and check some e-mail. I love the internet!
I was busy doing my net stuff when the phone rang. I finally got to it because I have just recently changed all the rings on my phone. When someone calls who I work with it rings one way, and so on. Well this was the general ring of someone I didn't know, so I wasn't rushed until I realized that it could have been a real estate agent. Evil people that they are!
Anyway I go to try to answer listen to the message and Vincent calls. He talks about something stupid for awhile. Finally I just say, Vincent, You know I like talking to you but someone just called right before you and I need to check the message cause if it's one of those stupid agents again I don't want them walking in on me. He hung up. I played the message and....
It was Jim, the regional from Vitamin Shoppe. But before I tell you what was said let me tell you what happened yesterday...
I got to work and I was told that Linda the new DM called Ana and Ana told her that she was going to stay with VS. I knew what was going to happen. Jim was going to act like he didn't mean to call me, he dailed the wrong number, sorry. Anyway, I called Jim. He didn't call me back. I called him again and he picked up.
Me: Hi Jim!
Jim: Oh, hi Laney...
Me:(knew it) Ray told me that you called because you wanted to talk to me.
Jim: Right Laney... The thing is Laney, well Ana was going to leave the company. But now she has decided to stay.
Me: Yes I know. I spoke with her.
Jim: Well I was reaching out to Laney but now that Ana has decided to stay things are slightly different. Ana wanted to see how things were going to be with Linda.
Me: I understand. But you should know that I spoke with Ana and she has told me that she is just staying to see if things will be better with Linda, she is not sure she will stay.
Jim: Yes... well... Are you going to be in the store next week when we are touring the district. We would really like to talk to you.
Me: (fuck you Jim. I'm not some fucking poker chip that you can use to bride Ana to stay, and now that you don't need me you are just throwing me back on the pile. Fuck you! Fucker!) Yes I will be.
Jim: Good because we really would like to talk to you because we want to talk to people who want to advance in the company.
Me: Alright...
Jim: Thanks Laney. Have a good day.
Me: You too (fucker!) (Jim hangs up)
So basically they were going to try to use me to get Ana to stay but since Ana decided to stay on her own they didn't need me. Now before all of this happened I had talked with Ana since I was told Jim wanted to talk to me and I wanted to know why. She told me what was going to happen basically, because she had decided to leave. But then she changed her mind, which is her right. I wasn't mad at her. I was mad at Jim and the way he was treating her and me. FUCKER!
Now back to today...
It was Jim. I called Vincent and told him want was going on. He was like, get off the phone woman and call me when you've called him back. I hang up and call back Jim. He's gonna fire me... He knows I called him a fucker and he is going to fire me. Okay that's not really what was going on in my head but I was like, what the fuck is going on.
Jim: Laney, how would you like to be an Assistant Manager at Braintree
Me: (you mother fucker! You fucking bastard. What the fuck have we been talking about the last two weeks. You fucking pussy. You know I already have a job at the Omni Parker House, okay not really but I could, because you are such a fucking pussy and couldn't tell me on your own that you had picked someone else to be Assitant Manager of Braintree and now something goes wrong so you decide, oh lets call Laney) I would really like that.
Jim: Good! When can you start?
Me: Um... Well my friend is coming to visit me this weekend so I wouldn't be able to start till Monday.
Jim: Prefect! So Laney what are you earning now.
Me: (fucker, you are going to try to screw me over after I know what that Garret guy is making, fucker. I tell him my salary but I can't publish it here in case anyone finds this. Sorry.)
Jim: Okay... Um did you have a number in mind already.
Me: (I knew it fucker! You were going to try to give me a raise based on my current salary. I was a fucking manager before, bastard. I told him the number and I knew it was a lot but I was going to have to commute)
Jim: That is a lot, that's a huge raise.
Me: I'm going from a part-timer to an Assistant Manger.
Jim: I know...
I can't keep telling you the conversation because it's payroll and well I just don't feel good about posting it on the WWW so I'll just tell you that my plan worked! I told him a number I knew wasn't going to give me and I got the number I wanted. I'm basically only earning 1.37 less than I earned as a manager. Fuck you Jim! Sucker! Hey I totally deserve it after all the hell that man put me through.
So basically I'm signed up for the VS for another year, sucks! But I'm getting good money. I don't know what I'm going to tell my mom and dad. Brother. Well after next month they won't have to send me rent checks anymore. God. I only have a month to come up with a good story. This sucks!
I LOVE YOU VITAMIN SHOPPE! Ugh! I should e-mail Greg again. Maybe I should have Brad call him. I think he would laugh at how I played the VS again! But that's a tail for another day.
Laterz!
