Ok, so it's official. The manager called Mr. Creep today, he didn't answer his phone, no surprise there. She left him a message saying that if she hadn't heard from him by 5pm, he would no longer be working here. Well, he didn't call. Again, no surprise. What I'd like to know is what she was planning to say to him. I was under the impression that he was going to be terminated regardless of what he said. Apparently, he did get in touch with the assistant manager, I'm not sure when. At that point, I think he was told that he was terminated. I don't know everything he said, but I've been told that my name was mentioned. Wanna know what he said? Here's a quote, from what I hear: "Good, then I won't have to work with that (expletive)ing b(rhymes with itch) Jess." What the hell did I do to him? Up until last night, I've been nothing but nice to him. Ok, so I did complain about him feeding me that line of bull about Jim a couple of months ago, but I think that's it. Granted, I am a woman in a position of authority. My sources say he has trouble dealing with situations like that. I never asked to be put in this position, they came to me. And it's not like I'm this cruel taskmaster. I even go as far as asking when people want to take their breaks, instead of just scheduling them any way I please. I try to be accommodating, but I have no tolerance for people with bad attitudes (especially if they're inebriated at WORK). I know I'm getting worked up over nothing, but I just don't understand why people act that way. And now I'm worried that he'll try to do something in retaliation. My car's right there in the lot, and I'm pretty sure he knows where we live. I wouldn't put it past him to get drunk in one of the bars down the street, then come lumbering up here for some criminal mischief. I have to keep the doors locked here at work just in case some moron lets him in (the building is supposedly secured, locked at all times). At least I have blog therapy. It helps just to get it all out in the air. I feel a little better now, but I'm still a bundle of nerves, and I probably will be for a while. Can't we all just get alooooong?... :)
