Slap Me With a Splintered Ruler
Well, I'm not gonna get the promotion I thought I had in the bag. Last night Mrs. Stebel pulled me aside and talked to me about it all. She was like, "Now don't think that we hate you or anything, you are one of our best workers here, but we think that you need a little more time to show us what you've got. We're gonna give you more floor shifts and get you comfortable with all that. When we have our next staff meeting in like 3 months, you are definitely going to be promoted then. I wanted to let you know that you do a great job, you're probably our best concessionist here. Don't think bad about any of this, I want you to know that you are definitely on the right track, we just didn't feel like right now was the time for you." She told me some more stuff, but I can't remember all of it. She was really nice about everything. I'm not upset or anything. I understand everything she's trying to say. I'm glad she let me know about my progress, and that I'm being watched for the next batch. I really haven't had too much of a chance to show them I can handle it. Besides, that means I'm GUARANTEED a Crew Lead slot at the next staff meeting in April. I can wait till then. :o)
The video store is going great. Tonight I was on a till, and pretty soon I'm gonna be promoted there, where I can close the store by myself. That's gonna be cool. I get to pretty much be my own boss. I can just pop in a movie if I get bored. Getting free movies from there is so cool. Tonight I brought home Anacondas, Napoleon Dynamite, and Shaun of the Dead. I wanted to bring The Manchurian Candidate, but mom said it wasn't that great.
Last night at the movies, after I was done training a girl behind the concession stand, I went to the screening of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events since Sarah P.'s blind date was gonna be there (Amanda from work and her boyfriend brought a guy named Jesse to meet her). I didn't wanna sit through the movie then, but I really wanted to see it, and Sara T. wanted someone to sit with her. About 10 minutes into the movie, I was knocked out, all heavy-style, drooling & stuff (which I've been doing bad lately cuz of my tongue piercing).
I'm so glad all of my movie stuff is done. I was afraid I would wind up screwing it all up, but I've actually been on the ball. I have it all ready to go. Hopefully I can get an A as my final exam grade. Final exams. It's SOOO nice to be exempt from 3 of them (I coulda been exempt from all 4, but Mr. Klatte said NO ONE is exempt from his). I don't hafta go to school Monday, and only from 9:45 -- 11:45 on Tuesday. That works though, cuz I still have plenty of time to do some last-minute shopping on Tuesday. I'm very excited about what I've bought so far; I think everyone's gonna be really surprised. :o)
I'm probably not gonna hafta work on Christmas, and if I do, it'll probably be a short day shift. That's good cuz then I can be home with Brandon since he'll be here. He also comes home for New Year's Eve/Day, then comes home for good on January 3rd.
I've been talking to Lee a lot lately. He let my know a lot about his situation and how he's gonna deal with the cancer. He also said some other stuff that cracked me up. I realized that I miss him a lot. He was a really close friend that I pretty much just stopped talking to. I'm glad we've been talking more, I think we both can give each other the support we need.
Well, our AMC Staff Meeting is at 8:00 in the morning, so I best be goin to sleep. G'night.
XOXO
Blake
