Tiny Update
Called the east side today to chat with Jason. Apparently I called too late and he was already gone, but I relayed my current situation to Justin, who was equally livid about an encounter of his very own.
Justin had to transfer 2 tires to his location from ours the other day and he called the store and talked with my store manager (he no longer deserves a name in this LJ, so from now one he's the store manager and the store manager only). Later, my manager found that the east side Tires Plus had the tires, and they're really close to the store, so he called the east side back, and talked with Jason. He apparently asked Jason if Justin had something "against" Tires Plus...and asked why he didn't check the inventory more closely. Um...because people make mistakes? Justin also claims that my manager sent a district-wide e-mail about it, saying it's one of the many ways people can save money, by more closely watching who gets tires from where. Even after Justin apologized and said it was a simple mistake....honestly. He's a meddler, and it's really sick.
May be a potential job opportunity in the making. I have to do proper networking and push people to make it speedy, but it just might work. And it's not even that bad, really. I've thought about it long and hard (that's what she said) and I've decided I just need to keep my mouth shut and not get worked up. It will all be over soon, for better or worse. The hardest part will be telling my parents I was suspended. They'll be pissed, but of course they'll get over it. They always do.
In other news, no surprises that things went down as they did on our designated cleaning day. I will NOT get into details, but let's just say that I'm no longer holding any extended communication with certain people. Whatever. It was to be expected anyway. I'll be cordial. Right? :)
On the other hand, I'm extremely happy that the rest of us got as much work done as we did. Bedrooms still need to be done, obviously, but we did epic work on the kitchen and living room, and Mark basically broke the dirty spell on the bathroom. I'm so excited for our new place, and it feels really good working for a few hours on this place before we go.
Going to buy the bed on Monday. Chris's parents are worried that if I get fired I won't be able to pay my fair share of stuff, but I promised (everyone, including myself) that I would find another job, two jobs if necessary, to get myself through this rut. I discussed this whole thing with my parents weeks ago, anyway. The only reason it's taking me longer is because I have a quota to meet, and jobs with that kinda pay are harder to get. Either way, I will be able to pay my own way. No two ways about it.
Random thought: I want to sing in a band, someday. A collaboration, of sorts. Just sing a couple tunes on an album or during a concert or something. A one-time or two-time thing, only. Is that possible if I don't have a music career of my own? I'm not sure if it does.
