January 2007

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.

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.

Police found hidden cameras in the women’s room at the Waffle House in Mirror Lake community, which is part of Villa Rica, GA, but sits just inside Douglas County, not Carroll County as WSB TV has been reporting. I’ve made light of this most of the day and talked about bringing my camera to work next week, but it’s a pretty serious issue. This guy is a fucking scumbag. Apparently he was transmitting the images wirelessly to computers and possibly burning them to DVD as well.

What I have heard from customers that were in there and other people that live in Villa Rica pretty closely mirrors the other information that has been on the news today. It sounds like this guy is going to be spending some quality time down at the iron bar motel. Hell, if they find any minors on the videos, he will go away for a long LONG time on charges whatever charges that they file on sexual predators.

There goes my fucking stock (what little I have anyway).
