whenever i set foot into work it feels like the world is spinning. everything is crumbling under chucks feet. our BEST alignment tech is moving to new mexico and friday was his last day. so ryan (one of our service advisors) decided he wanted to move into the shop. of course i think working back there would be better for him and he would be happier and management thought the same thing so hes moved into the shop. so thats one service advisor down. now stephanie (one of our service advisors) is transfering to the nissan store in cary. so thats a second service advisor down. kenia is moving to winston - salem so she put in her two weeks. so theres one receptionist down. theres another tech leaving this friday. not to mention all rumors about other people quiting. WTF. i understand people get mad, or people have to move on for various reasons but its just weird. not to mention i thought this would be good for me because with people dropping like flies a spot should open up for me to move up like i was promised 6 months ago (need i remind you) but Bonnie was supposed to move back to reception and i was supposed to take her place but apparently that cant happen until a new receptionist is hired. i guess he wants me to train her? I guess thats a compliment but im just trying to move on before i get set back again. as anyone should understand.
friday night a bunch of us got together at the ale house to have a little get together for Tavon and Jimmy since they are bothing moving. it was a lot of fun. matt and i picked my melanie so she could drink. i ended up playing a game of pool with brent and beating him! :) but before me he was playing with chinstrap and chinstrap used the yellow 1 ball as the cue ball. what an idoit. it was said saying bye to Jimmy :( but he will be back im sure.
saturday i had to work but did NOT want to get out of bed. so i was like 10 minutes late for work. anyways it was like pouring rain so i figured everyone would stay home and we would have a pretty slow day. boy was i wrong. not only were we busy but John came up to work to confront the sales guy that crystal apparently stayed the night with the night of the christmas party. thank god all he did was talk to him but it was still nerve racking. an crystal was like two hours late. and even though larry asked john to leave he still waited for crystal to get to work so he could confront her. NOT OKAY. also chuck made an appt and misquoted tires. and i only had 9 techs and one of them was stuck on a 15 hour ticket. i didnt get lunch until 1:30 and i had to pick something up for like 5 techs since they had to work through lunch. and i didnt leave until 4. then saturday night we went over to shanes house to cookout. we had duck, steak, and baked potatos. sunday i slept ALL day. literally. and then went to bed at 12 and slept all night. i must have needed to catch up or something.
so back to this thing with crystal and her husband. i feel bad because i dont know exactly how to help her. she obviously needs to start with her drinking problem. i guess the first step is admitting that she has a problem which she has done and i think tonight she is going to an AA meeting. which is awesome. im so proud of her for that. her and john are also talking about going to counseling which would awesome for both of them. i feel like i have so much advise for them but i dont want her to feel like i am putting her down. she just needs to put down drinking for good. marriage is for better or for worse and while they are probably at the lowest point of their lifes and marriage they took those vows and they really need to work toward keeping them. marriage is a very important thing that ( in my opinion ) should be fought for. theres a reason why you married that person, so shuffle through all the shit and uncover that orginal reason. i KNOW they both love each other, theres just a lot of things making them both angry. of course it wont be easy but i know with hard work they can make it through. maybe hitting rock bottom will help crystal. i wish i could have been a better friend but 1. i know what its like for someone to bother me when I just want to be left alone 2. i didnt and still dont know the best way to go about talking to her. i dont want to offend her, or make her feel like shes being judged. everyone makes mistakes, no one is perfect.
