so i dont work for petco anymore. kinda sad, actually way sad. i actually liked my job.
we got in a new manager though and he changed many of the rules and whatnot. i talked to him thursday before i left work early because we were over hours and my back was killing me. he said how i was a great worker and i was to be put on the rehire list. he said since i had so much paid time off that he'd go on and put me for my pto to be put on my last check. he said he couldnt give me my full 32 hours since we were over hours but, he would try.
i call today and he said "o, yea we already let you go." (which he was to work me till the 20th) i asked why and he said he had told me he was gonna do that since we were over hours anyway. so i hear from others that i was terminated because they read on work comp. issues. i dunno. if i find out im on the "not rehire list" im going to be pissed.
the whole work comp was a waste of my time. i slipped and fell at work and i had a manager who tried to cover it up. who said it was personal in nature and that my claim was denied. thing is. i really did fall regardless of what some thought. the people who swore that i didnt fell were people i worked with in morning crew who hated me to begin with. who said i was " a walking medical case" because of all my medical problems yet, i never call in sick. its crazy shit.
i really do want to go back to work for the company but, there is no petco in savannah. only petsmart.
yea, so we're moving back to savannah. im not thrilled at all on the idea. not in the least. i know its for the best to save money since matthew has 48k in student loans to pay back and we dont really have high paying jobs here. we're living in an apartment on my folks land rent free. all we have to pay is the electric bill and if we want cable internet we pay for that. this is only for a short time for matthew to work on sending out his resumes to people and us to accumulate more money. matthew and i are looking at virgina as a place to live since he has a job interview for there monday. its for goverment simulation stuff with 3d modeling and whatnot. its a goverment classified job so he wouldnt be able to tell me what he does but, its starts at 45k-50k a year. i really hope he gets it. that way we could move there and i could go back to school fulltime. i plan on going to college the second we have an opportunity. im trying to keep high hopes but, usually when im in savannah i get depressed about family and drama situations. i hope it wont drag matthew down. we made a promise to each other the second we notice its affecting us or our relationship... we're moving.
im gonna miss the wonderful people we met here and all our adventures.
yes, orlando traffic sucks.
its hot and smells bad.
most people are rude.
but, its still a place we've called home for nearly two years. im really gonna miss everyone. crazy enough, im gonna miss my job. so on the 26th of this month we'll be moving to savannah. we plan on keeping in touch with everyone we've met here and having them come visit us.
