Hopefully the last time I mention Shawn being in Knoxville

Shawn decided he was just going to quit his job after being in Knoxville for a second week, but of course Friday on the way home the guy he was rooming with talked him into giving it one more week to improve. So Shawn went back for one more week but already had it in his mind that he was going to quit before Monday was even up. Tuesday he called in and gave his two weeks notice, which we both thought was the right thing to do, only the owner of the company is a complete DICK. He told Shawn that if he didn’t finish out the job in Knoxville he is NEVER allowed to work for the company and that Friday (the 25th) will be his last day (rather than Aug. 1). I was shocked when he told me this because Shawn’s worked with them for four years (collectively) and I find it insane that they would treat him that way. That whole situation just reinforced the fact that they’re just a bunch of assholes. I wouldn’t work there and I don’t expect Shawn to. I’ll be so happy to have him home.

This morning I made my daily stop to the AM/PM where I get my morning coffee. Before I could even pull into a space, the man who is normally working the register asked if I could ride up the street to another gas station to get him some eggs. “SOME WHAT?!” I said. “EGGS!!!” he said. Yes, the gas station attendant asked me to run an errand for him, and I did it too. Do you know how hard I’ve been working for the people there to love me? I remember standing in line to pay for my items when someone else would walk in and the workers would say HEY SO AND SO!!! all happy and excited to see them, yet seemed to loathe little ole me. Finally, finally after stopping there on my way to work for a year now, he trusts me enough to hand me 20 bucks for eggs.

I think I’m ready for a beer.
