Megadeth – In My Darkest Hour

Promotions and whatnot

I sort of threw a wrench in my boss (two levels up) and his plans for the next few weeks. I let him know that I was not particularly interested in the district that he wants me in, that if he had NOBODY else, I would step up to the plate, but it is only about a $5k raise for a hell of a lot more work and I can make that staying where I am answering straight to him.

There is one other guy who is up for promotion, but way down the list. I suggested that they give it to him and just leave me alone for know. Things are finally starting to look up for me at work with money and I don’t want to jeopardize that by stepping in to a situation where I would be in over my head.

I would jump on it if it were either of the other two districts out here, but this one just sucks. Two of the stores together do almost as much in sales as my single store. Three times the headaches, lots more hours, responsibility. Hell no. I may still end up with it, but I really really hope not.

Nipple Covers?

Looking through my visitors and referrers today, I came across the author of this blog. The Lingerie Gals. Right away I knew it was the place for me to visit. I’ve had an extremely long day at work due to meetings and am tired as hell so I knew it would be relaxing to look at something nice for awhile since my wife had to go to the store for a few.

Looking down through the posts I came across the one for nipple covers from way back in December. What? Damn, I didn’t know they made these things. I’ve gotta get myself some of those. I hate it at work when I have my daytimer and pen in my pocket, and the shit is rubbing the hell out of my nipple. I end up being a bit nipply for hours afterward. Yeah, I know. TMI.

Anyway, I started looking at the prices and decided I don’t need them that fucking bad. I’ve got me a big ass roll of duct tape and a knife.

I wonder if I could market this shit.

Anyway, go check out The Lingerie Gals. I’ll bet if I showed it to the dude with the cameras it might have kept his ass out of jail.

I only discriminate against stupidity

My boss had to work for a few hours last night along with the rest of the managers at her level cleaning up a store that belongs to someone else. All I can say is that I am glad it wasn’t me. They are wanting to take my store away from her and have me answer straight to the boss at the next level up. It’s mainly just internal politics and bullshit. It probably would mean a tiny bit more money for me, and I have run restaurants before with no boss, but it is more of a pain in the ass than anything. The bad thing is that she is threatening to quit if they do it. That would probably place me in HER job.

While I wouldn’t mind having three stores, I don’t particularly want HER stores. I guess I can’t be that choosy, at least it would keep me local, but the money wouldn’t be quite as good in her district, and she has been there for eight years, and both of her other managers are big pains in the asses.

I am going to have to think about this one for awhile. I have a discrimination investigation going on in the meantime anyway, so after that the whole thing might be a moot point. I didn’t realize that stupidity was a protected minority, but apparently so.
