My side of the story.
Everything in red is what was copied off of Katie's tumblr. Everything in black is my response to what she had to say about me.
So tired of playing clean up at Sawgrass. Everytime I work there I feel like there’s always things left undone by those who should do them. It makes me feel like I’m the only one left who cares to go above and beyond to do my job!
And here is where the shit talking about me begins - and I'm supposedly her best friend during this time? Wow thanks.
And Wini is a big issue lately. Her attitude and emotional issues when it comes to her family affect her attitude at work. Really easy for someone like her to say. She wouldn't know what family issues were if they hit her in the face. It's really hard when you're best friend can't even be there for you during a tough time. Like finding out I have a 15 year old half sister that my dad conceived while my parents were still married. Or dealing with my dad's cancer and radiology treatments for 7 weeks without knowing what the outcome would be. Or dealing with my parents marital issues. Dealing with my parents money issues and the fact that even my own doctor appointments or classes or books I have to pay for out of pocket because my parents can't afford it right now. Not knowing when the bank will come and take away my home that my parents can't pay for it anymore. Dealing with my dad struggling to find a job for over 6 months and having his medical issues be a main reason why he can't find one. Dealing with having 2 cars and 4 people and having to miss school on occasion or showing up 2 hours early or staying for an extra 2 hour because of the car sharing situation. How could I let all these things bring me down? I should've just gone into work with a happy attitude because my life has just been SO amazing these past few months. And when Robin or Sandy wanted to bring me down with negative comments or a bitchy attitude? Well like I said, my life is just sooo awesome, why would I let these thing bother me!
She gets so defensive whenever we bring up something she forgot to do and there’s always an excuse! Didn’t bring back the coffee.. “late fucking table”. There's a way to tell someone something without being a jerk about it. And her and Robin have always been jerks about me forgetting the littlest thing. She knows what it's like to get a table at the very end of the night after everything's cleaned up and forget to do one little thing. Bringing the coffee back isn't a hard task. It's not like cleaning the cappuccino machine or something more tedious. It's a simple process that includes walking with the coffee from point a to point b. Sorry for making you break a sweat.
And I got pissed when I found out she was telling Chris that “I was being a bitch for no reason” when I said something about how a dessert looked before serving it to a table that was paying $128 for their bill. Seriously? Are we 5? If I was going somewhere and spending that money I would want everything to be nice. She doesn’t have to go complain to her boyfriend because she can’t handle critiscism. Like I said, there's a polite way to tell someone something and a rude way. There's no need to look at me like I'm a fucking retard because the dessert fell apart. What am I supposed to do, throw it away and lose money? I did not know that a table had that big of a check, and for a table of 6, $128 is really not a lot to spend. Plus it was a table of 6 and the gratuity was included, it's not like I was ruining her chances at a tip. And she's right - we are 5 because she apologized to my face for being a bitch about the dessert thing but then posts a blog about how immature I was? Really? Couldn't say that to my face? Also, it wasn't the critism I couldn't handle, it was the BITCH attiude and the "are you retarded?" face she gave me.
The fact that Robin and I covered for her while she has pink eye (sorry next time I have a EXTREMELY contagious infection I'll come into my job where I handle food. Hopefully the health inspector will be in so he can shut the place down for it) and then she went and talked shit about Robin on Twitter really bothered me too OH and yeah thanks for showing me protected tweets to everyone at EPC then deleting me from your twitter. You really had no right to block me from reading your tweets after doing that to me. Not that I care. I'll say it to her face if I get the chance. She's a fat fuck. A bitch. How can someone have a beautiful healthy baby and be so caught up in themselves? Oh my life is soooo hard. I have too much money. Oh and I'm fat but I'm not working out and I keep eating all this fattening food but I have no idea why I'm sooo fat. Let me take injections for it and hope all my problems are resolved without hard work. /Endrant about Robin.. And that she gave her attitude about going to close up for Robin at Fort Lauderdale when Robin wasn’t feeling better was unnecessary too.Robin is my boss - not my master. I'm not schedule to work then I'm not required to work your shit. If you want to own a resturant you better learn to man up when you're not feeling well. Obviously you worked 8/12 hours, I highly doubt another few will kill you. Plus, she was a bitch to me my last weeks at EPC. Just because she promoted me and gave me a raise does not give her my soul. She does not own me.
I don’t know if it’s having a boyfriend (really? really? My boyfriend is just soo influential he convinced me to hate my job and be a bitch to my awful bosses - you know, because he can do that) or what but her attitude has to change. Especially when she just got a raise show me a place where a manager makes $9 an hour. Just please show me. That's not a raise, that's an insult and calls herself a “manager” Um hello, I was in the computer system as a manager, I was the one customers talked to when they asked to speak to a manager - but you're right, I was just "calling" myself on then proceeds to lie and say she never get the text telling her to come that night supposedly she sent me several texts I only got 1 which made no sense since I didn't get the others after she served and then said she didn’t answer Robin’s texts because she was “enjoying her morning off” Is there something wrong with enjoying my morning off? I got so few of them I figured I could nap and not reply to texts without it being the end of the world.. Really annoying. It’s putting a big strain on our friendship because I just get sick of dealing with the immaturity. The thing that was putting a strain on our friendship wasn't my immaturity it was 2 things. 1. Robin's shit talking to Katie about me, all showing me to be a bad person and tarnishing her opinion of her best friend. Obviously I was never that much of a best friend to her if she's going to let one person affect her entire opnion on me. 2. Katie not coming and discussing her issues with me. Had she just talked to me about everything going on in her mind we could still be friends. But now, it's her loss.
On the other hand, Amber seems to be doing well! Which really makes me happy! She’s not scared to ask questions, she writes everything she’s told to do down so she doesn’t forget and she’s happy all the time while Wini comes in and looks miserable and like she doesn’t want to be there. And after all that shit talking she decides it wasn't enough. This nice little jab at the end really is the icing on the cake. Thanks, Katie. My supposed BEST friend for 3 years. Nice. Sandy seems to like Amber a lot too!
Well in the end it's Katie's loss. She lost an amazing friend and right before her birthday too. I was going to buy her an iPhone 4. Bet she didn't know that. I had a lot of suprises planned for her. But she decided that I wasn't a good friend to have and dropped me like a rock. That's fine. I'm really glad I found this before it was too late. I was even going to text her Happy Birthday and bake her cupcakes as an apology truce and leave them at her apartment tonight so she could see them and enjoy the surprise and know that I was thinking of her. But after finding this and reading this I know that I don't need her in my life. If someone can call themselves your friend and then write all this about you, then obviously they're not your friend. I thought we were past high school drama but I guess not. I'm happy with my life and my friends and she's going to miss out on a lot. I can't believe after everything we did for each other, our friendship was so easily turned on itself by her employer. I feel like it should bother me more but I've already moved on. And reading her tumblr post really gives me the closure I needed. Who knows if she'll ever apologize for saying all these malicious things about me but I don't care. She even has the audacity to talk shit and make fun of me with Robin on her facebook. It's not like she didn't think I'd see it. It's just fucked up that she'd do it. But her loss. I hope she enjoys her 21st birthday and her life. I don't wish anything bad upon her I just wish her the best of luck with her life and her friends and hopefully she learns how to be a real friend to people with age and maturity.
