I went to work at 5:30 at my assigned time . Clocked
in and began my daily duties....shortly after we opened
i had stepped in the room where the decorators work
when one whispered quietly to alert me that Ed was
questioning my activity from the time i clocked in to
opening....hmmmm......

That raised a few notched in my blood level wondering
why the hell was he worried about that and why was he
asking others about me and not himself.....

Why was i under his microscope?

Fumes began and i headed to the office to confront him....
Well no Ed at the moment so i asked the owners as they
suggested that i pull him over and ask him those
questions myself....well by then Ed walks in an I asked
if i could talk to him....sure he replied and all hell broke
lose....After a few minutes of raised voices he suggested
that i clock out and leave for the day....Well i flat out
told him i was not leaving....

Well one of the owners sons began to speak and he
got all worked up saying some cuss words and that made
me feel worried that he might have a heart attack.....YIKES....

Then the mom steps in and says a few words and then it was
just ED and I,,,,,,

I decided to calm down because i surely didnt want to
leave because i need my pay....and then explained about
the fear i had with the holidays approaching and not
making enough money to pay my bills.....

So they reassure me that i was not in any danger of
being let go but that Ed was molding me into the
position to work the front end of the new bakery come
next yr.....

And that i needed a attitude adjustment and in order to
make more money from a yearly raise was to follow
instructions.... YIKES....

They r aware i hardly to never make mistakes and thus
am doing a good job.....and it was then that i asked Ed if
he thought i was doing good.....he replied yes....i told him
all i needed was validation from him to let me know how
i was doing......

After all that i mentioned something about better communication
and we stood up and i asked if i could give him a hug.....

We did and i stayed the rest of the day.....

Do u know how hard it is to back down and feel
like a loser....? That is how i felt.....like he won
over me.....just to save my ass and my job right now.....

So the rest of the day went by without a hitch.....

And tomorrow I shall return in full atire....makeup, jewelry
and cologne.....

The End.....
