Interesting...
So yesterday was my last day of work with McDonald's which really kind of sucks. On the 17th the supervisor (his name is Paul, he's the person above Eduardo who is the store manager) came in and talked to me and said that if I could not get my certification completed by the next time he came into the store that he would not renew my contract for training. Just with the whole conversation I was under the impression that there wasn't really a way I could win, but I tried anyway and really did put 110% into the last week or so (not that I hadn't been trying my hardest before that, but I cranked it up as hard as I could). So Paul came in yesterday to do the certification evaluation. Normally these take place over the course of a few hours, but he really only watched me for maybe 10 or 15 minutes. He just ripped me to pieces- I guess the biggest area that I missed points on was the kitchen... I had Eduardo stationed in the kitchen as the production manager. So pretty much I feel like he screwed me over hugely. Paul said that if the things in the kitchen had been taken care of that I would have passed. So I'm pretty ticked off with the whole situation right now.
On top of that I feel pretty crappy- I liked that job and didn't want it to be taken away! I put a lot of time and energy, in addition to time that I wasn't actually in the store, but working on paperwork and the other things I needed to do for the program. I'm so pissed off. I don't think they really gave me the chance after the 17th, and the whole program did not go the way I was assured it would from the day I started there. There was no schedule or method- it was all just day-to-day. Whoever was managing that day would do a "oh have you learned this yet? you should probably learn this at some point...." which wasn't the nicely organized program that was described when I took the position. Ugh. But oh well, there's not a real lot that I can do about any of it now. Just start looking for something new I guess.
I don't really want to dwell on that too long. It's best to just put my energy towards better things. Speaking of better things, I went and saw "Pan's Labyrinth" the other day. Frell took me out to see it (it was a big suprise- he didn't tell me what our plans were, just that he had an idea and all I had to do was tag along). It was EXCELLENT.
Seriously- Pan's Labyrinth was EXCELLENT- you all should drop what you're doing and go see it! It was a really unique mix of historical drama and fairy tale. I've tried to explain/describe the general plot to a few people, and I guess I don't do it very well because they say that it sounds really boring, so I'm not going to butcher the story here. But it kind of had the same effect that Howl's Moving Castle did... as crappy and unplesant as a lot of my real life can be, this movie pulled me out of my world and into the story. It was great... I actually have a copy of it that I think I'm going to watch now- but don't get me wrong. The day it comes out on DVD I'm going to buy it- I just don't think I can wait that long to see it again! It also had an excellent sound track too... lots of details to enjoy!
Today's a really beautiful day out. I have a piano lesson that I'm teaching in 2 hours, so in the down time between now and then, I guess I'll start to look for a job. I just don't have any idea what kind of job to pursue... ugh. Anyone have any ideas for me? What kind of career should I try to pick up? I'd love any opinions, advise, or assistance. :)
And with that, I'm off!
