Well, it happened. I get to work, clock in, and prepare to head to my department, when one of the 15 assistant managers calls me, by name, into his office. Now, my first hint that something was up, should have been the fact that I've never talked to this guy in my life, so how did he know my name? My second indication should have been that the head honcho was sitting in there, as I was ushered into the tiny room with the door promptly closed behind me. (So much for the open door policy!) I was quickly informed that it had come time for them to let all of the seasonal/temporary workers go, and that I had wasted 20 minutes of my time driving to work.... just like that. Its over.
Now, I'm not really upset at the loss of my position at Walmart. I knew that my time was about to be up, I just didn't expect it to come so soon. What really bothers me is the fact that... I'm young and still living at home, the loss of a few days pay isn't gonna put me on the streets or anything. But what about my co workers, who inevitably recieved the same treatment? Most of them really need a source of income, and it's kind of sucky of the people at Walmart to just do that to everyone .
My manager strongly encouraged me to reapply next summer. But why would I do that? I mean, its not a bad place to work overall. In fact, it is much better than that God Forsaken place I worked last summer. But hey, I'm an adult now, and I need real income. Right?
On the bright side of the whole situation... I have a few extra days to relax and prepare for my big vacation to Geneva-On-The-Lake! On Monday, we had a really fun "First Annual Pre-Lake Erie Pool Party." I'm not sure if thats completely normal, but I had a good time! It certainly made me even more excited for the big trip!
Well, my computer clock claims its 1:25, but my cell phone begs to differ.... so I'm going to go to bed to prepare for a long day of... well, nothing I guess! I hope everyone is having an awesome summer!
