Had a bit of good news...

Kara · August 22nd, 2005, 06:34 PM

A lot of you know that I work in retail selling clothing, well recently friend of mine from a store I used to work in called me wanting to know if I wanted to pick up some extra hours over at that store. Because I don't make a lot of money at my current job and I'm a single mother, I was working two jobs for a while there and I was really sad because I wasn't getting much time with Carter and I felt like I was missing him growing up. But at the new job, they liked me so much that they've offered me a job in management for $2 more than I was making at my old job and I'll get 10 hours more a week! It's really good news and I'm getting to quit my old job that I absolutely hate.

Isnt it great when things just work themselves out so nicely like that?

I'm very happy for you, and I'm sooo pleased that you get to spend more time with your son

excellent news, I am impressed that you are such a worker, I wish more people had that attitude.

I hope all goes well for you.

There'll be a fifty year old man whos been with the company 30 years who had his eye on that promotion Kara - he'll be very bitter now, sack him as soon as possible!

Kara · August 23rd, 2005, 04:55 PM

Lol...it's a clothing store for young people. The oldest person that works there is 28 and he's the assistant manager.

yah, identify the trouble makers and sack them immediately, let them all know you are not going to take any shit.

You are also bound to have a few "sick notes", people who are constantly ill, sack them as well.

You want a team of winners.

Be tough, be fair but most all don't be their friend.

Great news!

***Tubeman*** · August 24th, 2005, 09:35 AM

Why not just move to the UK and then you and Carter can sit on your arses doing nothing whilst still getting housed, clothed and fed courtesy of the taxpayer?
