Condo was never my home, anyway.

After Mike explained his master plan to prove Scott wrong and make me a certified trainer, I asked about the chances of taking three weeks off.

He said no.

I asked about two weeks.

He said it would be a stretch.

Mike then went into an explanation about how he’s about to lose a ton of people. We finally have more people on, as opposed to constantly being undermanned last winter. And.. for once reason or another, we’re going to lose people. Once again, Mike needs me. No, he didn’t outright say it, but that’s the end result.

Anybody else might get a little pissed because they can’t take the vacation they want. But I take the perspective that I’m needed. Mike said he’d have a better feel for vacations in a few weeks. We’ll see what happens.

And about this master plan to make me a trainer. Scott would never do it for cashier. So Mike decided a few weeks ago to have me learn line and have sandwiches be my thing. What he told me today is that he wants me to study some material he’s to give me, and more or less memorize exactly how to “build” every sandwich. Really, I already have that down, I just have to memorize shit like the fact that there’s 2 oz of meat on a full sandwich, and 1 oz of meat on a half sandwich. Or, at least, that was the example he gave.

He said that if Scott wouldn’t approve me being a trainer, he’d go over Scott.

How can I not be happy when my GM has my back?
