Nein es ist die frau die freitags nicht kann

So Joe and Ashley came and talked to me the other night at Walmart, while I was unloading some freight. It was really nice to catch up on everything, hear what they've been up to. Joe's still at Papa John's; he didn't get the GM position, but he likes it over there. Ashley's still at Bennigan's, but she's reapplying at Domino's. Yeah. They're really hurting for managers, and Gina apparently had a heart attack, and had to be back at work a week later. Or something like that. So yeah, Ashley went back and applied. Gina said it up to Mike (Bernall, the head of operations). I've heard that Mike doesn't know anything about what happened between Ashley and Jenn (they had a bit of a tiff), so he'll probably just turn it back over to Gina, who will consult with Jenn. Ashley must really not like Bennigan's to go back to Domino's. Damn.

A few days later, I ran into Ernie Bueno. He was an insider, a friend of Joe's that also plays trombone. Really cool guy, smart, nice, the whole package. We talked for about as long as I thought I could get away with. He told me about Gina's heart attack, about Mike not knowing about Jenn/Ashley and likely turning it back over to Gina. He said they have a ton of drivers now, and that they're really getting after Mal to stop milking the clock and get her shit done. Sergio talks a lot more now - he said that he looks forward to closing with him, because they laugh a lot. That's a huge change; even Ambra was totally surprised. He kept getting after me to reapply - "C'mon, man, at least go in and put in your app, see what happens.", that kind of thing. That would sound reasonable, if I had been fired or something, but I quit, because I didn't like working there, between having to deal with Mal's shit and Gina/Jenn's massive hypocrisy, all that bullshit. I just got tired of it. It's nice, not having to deal with food, not having to deal with customers. I don't miss it, not really. The constant free food was pretty nice, and there are some coworkers - Ashley, Joe, Mike, Ray - that I miss working with. Other than that, though, they can have it.

On another note, I think I prefer doing a bunch of smaller posts, each a little more self-contained. It makes it much less likely I'll grow frustrated with the sheer amount of material I've decided to write about and just give up on the whole thing. That, and it makes the tagging system a lot more useful.
