The Adora Soapbox

I celebrated my year at the nail salon last month. I was actually fired on my one year anniversary. I went that following Monday to pick up my last check, and was told that I was wanting to be spoke with. I really didn't want to, but I did. The boss's business partner gave me the whole, "I know you have children, that you need a job, and if you need to come back to work I will talk to the owner and see what I can do". I told him that I didn't need that job, I only worked there because I wanted to work, and that SmoknJoe made enough money for me to stay at home. His eyes got BIG. He adjusted his cockiness and said, "If you want you job back I can talk to the owner, and see if she will let you back." I told him that would be nice, and he told me to come back the next day. I told him that I already had obligations and wouldn't be able to come back the earliest until Thursday, so he said Thursday too.

I went back that Thursday and the owner wanted to talk to me. She was telling me how I make her so mad, how she feels that I'm disrespectful, and have an all around poor attitude. She then said, "I will hire you back under one condition; you must do everything I tell you to do." I told her that I would follow her orders within the extent of the law, and she got angry at me, "That's not what I said."

The business partner came and told her that she had nails to do, so she rushed out and asked me to give her a minute. I told her that I didn't have time to wait on her, that I had stuff that I had to do, and that I already had three job offers in town. Either tell me to get to work, or tell me to get out of her shop. After waiting long enough I was about to leave and she had her business partner tell me I was hired back.

Me and SmoknJoe's five year anniversary was last month as well. We went out to eat at Joe's Crab Shack. I LOVE that place. They were having all you can eat crab legs. Here is a pic of us enjoying the night.

I entered that pic in the local news channel's cutest couple contest. I wonder how many people will think it's funny enough to vote for.
