Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!
Well, today was interesting. Reminds me of "The Killing Joke", where the Joker is trying to prove to Batman that anyone can go insane from just one very bad day. Today was one of those days...
Where do I....begin?
I went into work today and saw my schedule for next week and this weekend. I had some crazy hours set up and I voiced my opinion about it... aloud.. for everyone to hear. It was bull crap. I was pulling double shifts, working 12 hours... Pretty rough. Well, bad news was... my manager was in there and she flipped a lid. So I started thinking about leaving, called my Wife... told her the scoop... She was talking me down from it.. so I clocked in.
My Boss, the General Manager of that Regal, steps in and says he needs to talk to me. I'm thinking that it's about the schedule and my diatribe earlier. He starts talking and I realize that it is not. See, I turned in my schedule change for the end of this month.. when I start Summer B semester in College. He says that he has good news and bad news.
Good news! I made Employee of the Month, my first month there. A first at that Regal and an honor actually... I was really shocked by that. At least I get an extra $25 bucks for it.
Bad news! My schedule is not going to work, since I cannot open or close due to school... I have to either change the schedule to let me do that or quit. No option to wait until Summer is over.
I told him that I cannot change my schedule, that those classes were hard to score in the first place and I really really need the extra cash... so I was let go. He wanted me to turn in my 2 weeks notice, but I just worked the rest of my shift and left my Regal shirt at the front desk. So now I am unemployed once again.
But, funny thing... my last day was the BEST day for me ever at Regal. I found tons of awesome stuff while cleaning theaters today. First, I found a whole bag of candy from a Birthday party group that was there. An unopened package of Sour Patch Kids in another theater. An unopened Beer, a Budweiser Select...
And the best was last, I found $75 under a seat.
So it's not all horrible. But still... I am jobless again and no more free movies for me.
I'm the only person who can earn Employee of the Month and get let go on the same day.
