And then there was 1

Last night I felt like I was in college again. I was told by my training manager at the tanning salon that I needed to have my training manual done by today. So, what did I do? I waited until 11 pm last night to finish it up. I went to the store and got myself some orange soda and a snack for studying...just like I was in college.

1 am rolled around and I was still working on that damn manual. I talked to my mom online-she told
me that she felt like I was still in high school again because she was getting aggravated that I waited until the last minute to finish my "homework." I had to be at work at 8:30 am the next day. Which meant that I had to leave at 7:30 am to beat Atlanta traffic and make the long treck to Alpharetta. I decided to go to bed and finish the manual in the morning.

I woke up at 6am, finished the manual and threw some clothes on. I started my drive. Fifty cents into the toll. 20 minutes waiting to get off exit 11. I got to the store 10 minutes before the manager. Sat in the car with the other girl training. Walked into the building, clocked in. The manager said she wanted to talk to me. She brought me into the office. First, she gave me the 15 dollars back that she owed me for the food that she bought the last time we worked together. Not only did I have to order her food, she made me pay for it.

DANANA....she started off by saying "I really have fun working with you, and I love your bubbly personality..." ok lady, get to the BUT. "BUT, you do not have enough availability. So, I think it would be best if you just keep your restaurant job. We really need someone who can focus solely on our brand." Well, shit lady, good luck! I mean, I really would have loved waiting around every week for 17 mystery hours to make 8 dollars an hour. Unfortunately, I need to support myself.

Well, at least I wasted 50 cents, a few hours of my sleep, gas money and my mind for a week of cleaning tanning beds, an hour drive and one measly free tan!

Can a girl catch a break? Cuz she certainly can't catch a job! ;)
