So circumstancesa panned out in my favor. One more chance for a do over (do right) situation. the pregnant girl's daughter is sick so she missed work and canceled our plans tonight. Phfewwww that was close.
then at work, my business partner, who is also in a weird way my boss until I am making him enough profit that he seems me as something closer to an equal, as I am also an employee of the company that I am partner of thus only partially my own boss, anyway I was working the cash window at his pawn shop (his biggest business) when I say, "geez, it's been really busy." He says,"it'll be busier the next couple of days." I say, "glad I am not going to be here." as I have had plans to return to ohio for about a month. Plans which he knows about. He says,"Oh yes you will." I say, "but I am supposed to go to ohio." he says, "leave after work on Saturday". which is doable, but I hate being told what to do. I got real pissy for about an hour. I called my mom with him standing there as I said, "my, I am not coming home for christmas....yeah, I know.. I'll be alone in my apartment because he wants me to work tomorrow and Saturday. No, the roads will be crazy and I'll be too tired to drive on Saturday. I'll just be alone." What a little fucking baby I was being. After a few minutes (I wasn't really pissy for a full hour), I remember that I didn't really want to drive home, so I am now somewhat relieved. Regardless, I don't like my reaction. What I don't like about it most is the situation I am in. Is this really how I want to live my life, as a slave to consumer holidays, living and perishing financially on the whims of xmas shoppers?
But anyway, what this means is that I have to work with the pregnant girl for the next two days. And if I am actually staying here, she'll offer to have me come with her to her families christmas at the beach. Which doesn't sound bad considering the weather is supposed to be like 60 here on xmas day, but as I said, one more chance to do the right thing make the right choice.
Anyway, I've been studying the behavior of the competition this xmas. I know what we need to change to ensure sales all the way up until Friday and still get some on Saturday, too. Quality, timely service is far more important than being the least expensive jewelry company. Hopefully, we will survive to make it through next xmas.
