Back to square one with the positive vibes.
Not such a good week this last fortnight.
I have a dilemma.
My bestie has gone and opened up her own cafe.
And I'm now unemployed.
Oh, did I not mention the handing in of the notice 'cause I'd had enough thing?
Well....Let's start at the beginning. I've been told it's the best place. And let's face it, we're all looking for a best place.
I like to think of myself as a worker. Sometimes hard, sometimes not. Let's face it, we all try to work hard.
Well, I did. Sometimes over 60 hours a week, basic wage, no overtime. Yes. That is exploitation, but, as many Brits do, I needed the money. Until it got way out of hand.
Let me explain.
The owner of the establishment I worked in, and myself, seemed to have a clash of personalities. She, being the owner would always win. So I handed in my notice. For the 12 months I was there, I received 3 written warnings (the 3rd time for not cleaning the floor properly). Bearing in mind I had no witnesses at all and the printer ran out of ink the 3rd time, so I didn't receive anything in writing. Although I was told they would be on my record for 6 months.
Apart from all that, my bestie went and opened a cafe without me.
This was our dream for years. And now I'm left by the wayside while she has her own business.
I have been asked to go help and I'd love nothing more but, I wouldn't get a wage. And who can live on fresh air?
Jealous? Damn right! Who wouldn't be? Especially since she never let on to her 'bestie' what she was doing. I guess I've got to accept that we're drifting apart. Sad times. But we all move on and all live the dream, apparently.
