Shaking
I do not deal with conflict well.
So there's a manager at work named Angela. She's almost universally hated because she talks behind people's backs, she insults other people for their work performance but is lazy and doesn't do work well herself, and generally is a pain in the ass to work with. She freaks out like I do but doesn't admit this or apologize, so it's a pain in the ass.
Well the new gay manager Aaron that I talked about earlier doesn't like Angela, and she hates him too. Fun times. Well anyway, today at work Aaron mentioned that the night before, Angela had left after work without putting any beef in the oven to cook, so they had to go through dinner with 1/2 a beef. Seriously guys, we're never supposed to have less than 2 beef just in case, so this is a BIG thing to flake off on, since we're Arby's and,...well, in case you didn't know Arby's sells a lot of beef. Yeah. anyway, so Aaron wrote her up so we were all waiting for the eruption when Angela got to work and found out about the write up. Well, 4 PM came and Angela wasn't there. By 4:10 Aaron wrote her up, and someone else at work called Angela and asked her why she was late, and it turns out she thought she was supposed to work at 5, so she came in. Well when this girl called Angela, she warned Angela that Aaron had written her up, so when Angela came into work she had her husband with her, and he sat near the front counter, so I knew shit was brewing. Angela's husband has anger issues and he's threatened to come to the store with a shotgun before, so I';m slightly afraid of him even if he's all talk because you never know. Anyway, Aaron was gone at the bank and post office, but when he came back he gave Angela the write up about her leaving the store with no beef but told her he wouldn't write her up for being late. She argued with him (on front counter mind you, in front of customers) that she shouldn't have been written up because everyone else leaves the store unprepared too, and Aaron argued with her, and she started to cry. At this point, Angela's husband comes up to the counter and says "Is there a problem here?" Aaron puts the write up on the counter and tells her it's her choice whether she wants to sign it or not, and walks away. After that, Angela's husband says again, louder, "Is there a problem here>?" Angela shushes him, and he says "No! Did he write you up?" and I think she told him not to start shit because then he said "I'll start shit, I'll break his twink face." For those of you who don't know, "Twink" does not refer to Aaron in any sense of the word, and I think Angela's husband just threw that out because he knew it was a "gay" insult and he didn't know what it meant. Obviously. But I was sitting there shaking, and Aaron came over to me and gave me a ride home, and I told him about what was said (minus the gay thing) and he said he's not worried. but I am.
I don't know if I should mention the gay thing to him, I don't know if he knows what people say behind his back and I don't know if I should say anything about it because I don't know how he would react, and to be honest with you he's never told me he's gay so I don't know what he'd say or how he'd react (I'm repeating myself...I think I need to go calm down...)
I don't deal well with animosity at work. As you may have noticed. I just hope no actual violence breaks out, but I was seriously scared it would tonight.
It's a good thing I scraped change off the ground so I could buy my toilet paper and migraine meds today--no exaggeration, I literally scraped up all the change I could find until I had enough to buy what I needed--but I was still too stressed to stomach slipping and sliding my way to Walmart which is the only place that sells Advil Migraine...luckily Aaron was nice enough to give me a ride to the store to buy it. It would seem that I'm needing those migraine meds soon, I can tell. The stress is making my brain break down, methinks. I had a migraine 4 days in a row last week, this has been my first day without one. I don't really know what to do and if I should say anything to Aaron about "teh ghey issue" or not. Glargh.
