...for the world to hear my song, so they can tell me I was wrong
Let's get things started. Here's something you all need to know:
I'm hoping we're all suitably amused, now for the explanation. I could be a bit creative and artistic and write everything with a flourish or touch of drama... but that's so much effort. I doubt anyone will remember this, mainly because I don't think I wrote it on LJ, but the assistant manager position I was getting trained for wasn't available anymore. Not to me anyway. We had to re-apply for our jobs, because of the change in ownership of the company I'm working for, and I didn't even know if I was even going to have a job. That kinda sucked. I was pretty pissed about it. But last week I heard we're keeping our current positions but with the exclusion of Peter who was going to be assistant manager. Damn him and his promotiony stuff!
So the higher-ups were discussing future management of my store and Peter came into conversation and how he might not be best for the job. Remember that boss I was talking about (the one that checked me out at the christmas party)? Guess who's name she dropped? They got to talking, they got a backed-up opinion from my current boss and guess who's going to be assistant manager in two weeks? Guess who's going to be earning $500 less a year than his sister (who is a manager)? If you guessed Macguyver you'd be horribly wrong! As cool as he is, we're talking about me here! Oh yeah, Dylan, the assistant manager. I could have my own store in a couple of months if I work hard enough.
After all that BS everything worked out! I'm going to be starting on $35,500 a year, which is likely to get higher as I prove myself. Oh and that's without bonuses and holiday pay. And I'll be getting every second weekend off (I haven't had a weekend off since christmas, and god knows when before that!)! I can party again! Expect to hear of some crazy antics. So, the next two weeks are going to be tough with me learning EVERYTHING there is to know, then re-learning it when we get a new manager. I'm looking forward to it. Now if only I could get over being sick! *lol*
Remember me saying how I wanted to hang out with Monique more? Well I got to see her again yesterday and that was cool. She wasn't feeling to great though so I looked after her as best I could. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so motherly. It's just not sexy *lol*. Seriously though, I enjoy her company. She's nearly as odd as I and it's fun to just say things to one another and trip out at how strange we are... I guess you had to be there. Good thing you weren't or you'd be cramping my style, fool! Gettin' up in my grill like a muthafucka. I be cappin' yo ass. Fo shizz and word. Uh, anyway, she's neat. I don't think Daniel is comfortable with me talking to her (yeah, she's his sister and my (possible) future sister-in-law) but that's his deal. I haven't molested her yet and I srsly doubt that's going to happen. If not only because I'm scared he'll eat me... *insert nervous laughter here*
I've been cooking a lot too since Amy and Daniel have moved back in. I've also started cooking on the BBQ, which is so Australian it hurts but it's about time I learnt how to, and I'm really good at it. I proclaimed quite loudly, after some rum and cooking, that Daniel and I are the new undisputed kings of BBQ (even though I did all the cooking). I'd say it's pretty bloody close. I reckon I'd give Dad a run for his money. I've also gotten awesome at cooking anything with a wok and I'm getting better at baking. Yeah, even though I'm sick, I'm still doing most of the cooking. But that's cool. I like it.
I can't really think of anything else to write. I need to shower, do some housework and maybe go out to buy a PS2 game (if Project Zero 3 is here yet T.T) or two (I wouldn't mind Metal Slug 4/5). Yep, might draw too if I feel up to it.
