(no subject)
I can not believe what a week I've had so far! I know I never do this, but I think I'll do a day by day replay:
Sunday: Everything is fine at work until my boss asks if he can talk to me outside. I go with him and then he proceeds to tell me that people have been talking about me. They have said that I just stand around and do no work...no action is going to be taken against me now, but if it continues I'm in big trouble (fired, in better terms). I just can't believe it at this point so I thank him for telling me and then I go home and collapse on the couch. I was just too upset to do anything else because I thought my boss and everyone else liked me. My sales have been awesome this month and I do well at working hard and making the customers happy. Anyway, I felt awful.
Yesterday: I moped around all day. I even cry at one point at school in the lounge. Fortunately, my friends all are supporting me and when my cousin comes over she gives me some great advice: talk to my boss again and see what is going on. The highlight of yesterday was learning about Lord of the Rings in my fantasy lit class! I seriously forgot about everything at that point. Also, my sister calls me to calm me down and makes me feel a lot better.
That leads us to...
Today: I go to school and get my hair cut for Locks of Love in front of about 40 people. They cut it even shorter than I expected, but I love the way it looks! I really feel special because I was able to donate a part of myself to people who need hair.
After
Anyway, I feel awesome about myself and I go to work feeling refreshed. I talk to my manager and he tells me honestly that he didn't think I was doing anything wrong at all and that he only pulled me aside so people could see that he talked to me so all the negativity against me would cease. What had hurt me most was thinking that he thought I was a bad worker. Apparentely he doesn't think that at all and he actually tells me that I'm the favorite person who works for him as both a worker and a person.
What a relief! I'm not getting fired at all, which is what I originally thought. I took what he told me out of context and I figured that he was the one noticing my errors when it was just people complaining about me. Why they've been doing that, I don't really know, but I'm not going to let them drive me to quit or back off of succeeding at this job. I know I can be the better person in this and I will be.
Do you guys like my hair? I'm really surprised it turned out so well...thank you all for your kind comments and wishes, you really are all wonderful!
