(no subject)
on a scale of "i could have killed myself it was so bad" to "christ, what an awesome day," yesterday was definitely an "OH THANK GOD YOU ARE OVER AND DONE WITH but completely awesome day."
my tumultuous relationship with honda of fife was finally put to rest. their final act against me was writing me up.
now. while i won't apologize for my actions, i will openly admit that some of the things i've said in the past three weeks have been in-line for a write-up, even on the verge of, "oh shit, i probably should have been fired for that." that being said, i should have been written up for this things AT THE TIME. the thing that finally made them write me up is the fact that i didn't clean out the sales refridgerator on friday night.
yes. sales. the one i never used. never had any reason to get into. in the lunchroom i never used. never had any reason to go into. on friday when i've been there for 9 hours and all i want to do is go home an hour after closing time, the first thing on my mind is not "CLEAN UP GROWN MEN'S MESSES." now. i've forgotten to do this before and it's never been a very big deal. just let me know and i'll take care of it. or, here's a better plan, get people to do it themselves! but no, no no, not this time. this time it warrants a write-up.
on this write-up were three things:
1.) failure to finish duties on friday night.
2.) failure to get along with co-workers.
3.) use of inappropriate language.
it may just be that i'm stubborn, but i refused to sign it. if i would have gotten a write-up sheet two weeks ago after the first incidents, i would have. but the fact that it was that god damn refridgerator that finally made them do it..no. my one wish is that i could be there when they first tell themselves, "christ, it would be great if codi was still here." when they finally realize what a god-send i was to that place.
so anyway, i waited patiently until my lunch hour arrived and then said my goodbyes. it's been a few weeks coming, nobody was really suprised. i had a feeling it would be this week.
this in itself was enough to make my week/month/millenium. but to add to it, on the way out jackie stopped me and told me that kia was looking for people. this is great news for more than one reason. the main one being that i have four GOOD references to that place. second, it was on my way home. leaving one job to get another, who could ask for more?
i went in there to find that tom (service manager) had already filled the positions. not too disappointing, he said i'm first in line if something doesn't work with the new kids. and like i said, four good references (all personal friends or former employees there), if the spot opened up, it'd be mine. either way, finally i could get my much needed vacation and just take it easy for a while. the whole way home was spent laughing joyously and maniacally, tears of happiness streaming down my face. i'm DONE with that place, once and for all, finally and for good.
i woke up this morning fully rested and prepared to get my errands out of the way, afterwards enabling myself to fulfill my intentions of doing absolutely nothing for at least a week. my intentions are most likely shattered due to the fact that i have a job interview at kia tomorrow morning 9 o'clock sharp. apparently one of the new guys is new no longer and i'm not going to have to stress myself out about what i'm going to do.
granted, i won't be going to europe. and i more than likely won't be able to accompany christina on her move to tennessee. but this is definitely a good thing. i'm hoping they'll give me until monday, but i'm not betting on it and i won't be too upset if they don't. either way, i get to keep doing something i love but i get to completely change the surroundings of it, which is what i needed.
this all, of course, is if i actually get the job.
hey 2005, stop playing with my emotions.
