Just when I thought it was all ok....
I'm so confused right now. So I get hired for this really great job today. Practically perfect, it seems. Monday through Friday only, 8-4. Overtime opportunity on Saturdays. $7.50 an hour, which is really not that bad and is much better than I had originally anticipated myself receiving from any job. So I'm all excited, cuz now I'll be making money, pretty much of it, and I'll be able to get my computer this summer. But there's a catch. I told myself that if I got hired for this job, I was going to quit Chi-Chi's. After all, why would I stay? I wouldn't be able to work at all during the week, and why work the weekends when I will be working 40-45 hours the rest of the week? I'd be driving up there, unlikely to make any real money. Maybe $20 per night if I was lucky. So I was just going to quit. I figured I could have the weekends off to do things like go visit my grandparents and go up to Bloomsburg. When I told my dad I got hired, the first thing practically that he asked was, "Are you going to stay at Chi-Chi's?' And I was like "NO! Why would I do that?" So then he gets all pissy cuz he says I may need that job in the fall and that I should stay working there this summer on Saturdays or something. God, he wanted me to get a good full-time job and I did. Isn't 40 hours a week enough for him? I'm going to be on the go all week, with work and martial arts training. The last thing I want to do is to deal with the shit at Chi-Chi's to end my week. Christ. So my mom agreed with me pretty much, but then she told me I should just take a leave of absense for the summer from Chi-Chi's, even if I don't intend on going back. She said I can decide in the fall if I want to go back. And THEN she said maybe I could tell them that if they ever need someone to work if they're shorthanded on a Saturday night, that I could do it! And I was like, "NO!" I just want to be away from them. I don't want to take a leave of absense. I would rather take my chances with being unemployed, which probably won't happen anyway. I don't want to be employed at Chi-Chi's AT ALL!!! I don't want them to have any access to me, and I dont want them to be able to hold anything over my head. I just want out of there, for good. So I told her that, and she more or less said ok, but that I should just take a leave of absense, rather than just quitting. Just in case. Christ...I don't know. Really, I just want to be away from there! COMPLETELY AWAY! And I don't think they are going to be too happy about giving me a 4-month leave of absence, either! They'd probably frown on that just slightly. But I'll probably end up doing that, just to avoid pissing them off. But I WILL NOT work at Chi-Chi's a single shift this summer....I don't care if they only have 2 servers on on a Saturday night. It's not my problem. I am working full-time and I will likely pick up overtime hours from 10-2 on Saturdays. Christ, why can't that be good enough? I'll be making PLENTY of money and saving LOTS of gas money. I'm just so irritated cuz I just want to be away from Chi-Chi's and I dont want anything keeping me there at all. I don't know what to do....
