burnt ends

I'm not going to rehash yesterdays (and Tuesdays and Mondays) drama at work. It's time to let it go and get off the freakout bus. There is one last stop on Saturday, and everyone should be off by then.

Larry is confusing me. I asked him for the money to fix my brakes. Since he unplugged my ABS cable, instead of actually getting them fixed, it put more wear on my brakes and now they are gone.

When I called to ask, he started his usual bitching. I pointed out that had it been his car, the problem would have been fixed. He said nothing ever went wrong with his.

BECAUSE YOU DON'T KEEP THEM LONG ENOUGH!

I called him back, and he was ... cool. No problem, he will transfer when he got home. I think it's just knee jerk for him to gripe. Then he realizes this is why he is living alone, and relaxes. At least he did do it, and for that I was grateful.

Now, on to some really exciting news!

I found out last week that the 2006 schedule for manager training was posted. This is excited me for several reasons.

One - I get to go.
Two - It's in Overland Park Kansas, at World Headquarters.
Three - Randy (my favorite manager and Saturday night dancing partner) had already planned on going the same time as me.
Four - It's basically a free vacation. Plane trip, hotel, car, food, and oh yeah, 8-5.

I didn't get to go to Jacks Stacks (or something like that) or eat any BBQ while I was there last October, so I'm gonna definitely do it this time.

Now, here's the coolest part. Mandy is also going! And two other managers from Houston. That's five of us, the class only holds ten. We are gonna have a freaking blast!

It starts Monday Feb. 13th, which will be great spending Valentines with some of my best friends!

I'm soooooo excited. I may even try to get a little green boy who lives near Kansas to drive over to actually meet me!
