So what was the happy box?

[wease]

Had a girl try and pull a George Costanza on me today. I fired her about 3 weeks ago and she came into the office today and tried to clock in. Obviously she couldn’t so she called our IT department to try and fix it and they’re like “uh, we’re showing you were terminated.” And she tried to convince them she wasn’t so they called me to verify and I assured them that yes, she most certainly was terminated.

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

With that kind of chutzpah you should promote her to management

Oh man she was terrible. You never knew whether or not she was gonna show for her shift.

what the actual fuck

[Bammer]

Wease that is amazing. Lol.

[wease]

It gets better. After that she called HR to tell them she wasn’t fired. So they respond that all the paperwork sure says you were fired. So HR called me and made me call her back and tell her again that she was fired then to send them an email confirmation that I called and told her. I called her a couple of times and got her voice mail so I just left her a message telling her for the second time that she was fired and no longer worked for us.

I later found out that the job she had gotten while still employed with us (she was working on quitting us apparently, I just beat her to it) didn’t really pan out so she thought she could just Costanza her way back in.

over our christmas break i will put stories of my days at pizza hut. they are amazing

I think I already know the answer to this, but here goes: was she notified in writing that she was fired?

Not this time

[Peeps]

today my boss gifted our dept (2 of us full time and 1 part time) with airpods pro

i seriously cannot believe the bed of roses i have fallen into

[Peeps]

some pizza hut stories......

it was ridiculously easy to make shift manager. the one girl was a complete fuckup and usually opened on sundays. i hated opening with her because she was always late. im talking we were to be there at 9am and she wouldnt show up until 1030am and we opened at 11am

she would sit on the counters smoking her cigarette and instead of of using an ashtray she would have to move for about 5 seconds to get she would cup the ashes in her hand

she thought aids came from some of the meteor rocks that came back on the shuttle

i never fucked with anyones food at any place i worked. thats a line i wouldnt cross. that isnt to say i didnt watch people fuck with our assistant managers food. mineral oil is pretty much tasteless and odorless and will clean your colon out within 30 minutes

one christmas party another shift manager and a cook went outside and fucked. he came back in and said how he could barely feel her she was so loose and she was telling people he was so small she couldnt feel it

i lost my mind one time as a shift manager (told you they would make anyone a shift). my opening cook called off. my opening waitress called off and my driver called off. i had a waitress come in an hour after open so i made all the dough, set up the salad bar, waited tables and cooked the food before she got there. we werent too busy but enough that i was apologizing to people and all were very understanding. then church let out and we got pretty busy (we were right next door to it). still me and the waitress were handling things pretty well. one lady started making a stink about everything. it took 20 minutes for the breadsticks. i saw my pizza sitting and waiting to be brought out for 3 minutes blah blah blah. she knew the situation and was just looking to eat for free. she comes up and is line to pay her bill and she is like i am not paying for any of this the service was horrible, the food was horrible and i cant believe you would treat us like this. i just looked at her and said lady you were a pain in the ass the minute you walked in and youre a pain in the ass now. dont worry about your bill, its on us. i hope you never come back. there were about 3 other customers behind her and she spouted off how she was contacting corporate about me. the 3 customers chimed up they wanted to contact corporate about me to but to say how calm and well run the store was run so short staffed.

then i was demoted 3 days later for it

[Bammer]

Peeps I also got some air pods from a work thing recently.

Anyway I don’t care if the process kills me, I will make sure pizza hut feels the appropriate measure of revenge for that demotion.

they give Air Pods out like candy, but the Pros are a big step up

If you think I know the difference, or have even taken the shrink wrap off the box, you’re wrong.
