conspiracy theory

To give you a little background before shedding detail on a miserable, yet interesting work week: Over the course of the past few months, our store has had a large turnover in management. We just got 2 new assistant managers from the same store, and they suck. One lady is supposed to be the executive assistant(next in line to manager), but she's clueless...So, Wednesday morning I go into work and look at the stockroom to find empty boxes and garbage all over the place. I start swearing and yelling and a coworker agrees with me. I was about ten minutes from walking out. I decided I should first get a throw-away camera and take pictures of the mess that was left by our lady manager, since the actual store manager has been on vacation the whole week. I take pictures of the mess and of a display she made with pet litter and pet toys. The problem was that she left seasonal allergy signs on the display with the pet stuff. Snap. More pictures. I take a few more pictures of the stockroom and start walking out when Mike and Julio show up. They walk into the back and have the same reaction as I, and Julio never gets mad. We ended up cleaning everything up, but laughed quite a bit and goofed off as well. In fact, for lunch, the 3 of us went across the street to the bar to have some drinks and eat while no one else at work knew. It was a pretty sweet reward.

Well, today, the room was a mess again, and I was just tired of cleaning. I did a few more things to cover this lady's ass before the manager comes back for Tuesday. Mike and I ended up sneaking out about an hour early. It's pretty funny. He had given his 2 week notice about a month ago because he has side jobs to focus on, but they took him back part time. His influence has given me the same attitude that he had right before he officially quit. Anyway, if I don't get the job in Glen Ridge, I'm probably going to leave the store if I can be guaranteed I will get to sub at least 4 days a week.
