It felt like we were dating in 2025

9:09 am Damn… I’ve been so angry that I forgot to talk about the good stuff. Well, SOME of it. I never got that promotion I applied for, or jod position. I’m still convinced that the lady over that department doesn’t care for me. That’s fine. I stay out of her way and like she told me, night shift is night shift. Back in February my new store lead told me that she had a plan for me and to hold on. Next think I know she tells me that I’m going to be the new lead for my department because my current boss was stepping down.

He’s a hard worker, but he was always grumpy. The first two months were rough. Some people took what I said as something else and it was just a headache. My boss told me that he’d replace me if I kept giving him headaches. Fuck.

All I was trying to do was make it fair for everyone. Eventually those people transferred to the other shift and now one of their good workers has decided to step into a part time position. Their reasoning behind their decision was that they didn’t like the vibe or the people. Eventually my boss saw that it wasn’t me. I told him that I don’t have the energy to be hateful towards anyone. I’m just there to do a job. Nothing more. Nothing less. It’s an easy job.

However, I am understaffed. Severely.

Were managing and I have my wins. Yesterday was not. I had a total of 22 pallets and each one has around 300 boxes. Each box may have anywhere from 4 to 18 items and you can only load one box at a time. So times that by a few pallets and it adds up. Factor in training, mechanical and technological issues and it’s a whole mountain of SHIT.

BUT!!! I am loving it. I love the challenge and I love working hard. It’s that distraction I desperately need to get through my day.

I’ve been doing 13/15 hour shifts.

I quit Whataburger last week. I did two jobs for two months with zero days off. I’m off Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. On those days I’d run the drive through, clean up the lobby and make drinks for pick up orders, door dash orders, Uber eats, ECT. It was new and exciting since I’d get a paycheck every week from them but, my team lead would constantly yell at me or bitch about stupid shit I made a mistake on. They were severely understaffed that they started paying my shift more money. I still left. Yell at me over making drinks? See, he told me to make the drinks for online orders and I did. He didn’t tell me that he already made them. He just told me to make them and that’s what I did. He bitched and then started laughing with the other team lead and I took my lunch and never came back.

They fired the store manager that hired me for apparently spilling oil on his leg and cleanliness. I fail to see how since he was always making people wash their hands. He said I was a great worker and that I don’t stand around. It was nice hearing that and I explained that I’m a team lead at my other job, so I understand how important it is to do the job I signed off for. With him gone, why stay? The new guy that they got adjusted his dick and didn’t wash his hands. Right as I ordered a burger! We locked eyes as he did it and I threw that shit in the trash.

Call in the following day under the excuse of being sick. Then I really did get sick and now I’m getting over it some two/three weeks later.

This is my first weekend where I don’t have to work on my days off. I’d do it for my main job on a heartbeat though. It’s a job I wake up excited to do. Does that make sense? I like setting my team up to succeed. I learned a lot from those burger leads. Like how not to treat your employees.

Plus I make more at my main job.

Speaking of money, I am two paychecks away from getting my motorcycle.

HOWEVER… I have been talking to this girl. This will piss off a lot of people. She’s 19.

Before I get hung by my neck and my balls cut off, I get the whole reason behind some older guys dating younger girls. No kids. No baggage. They don’t care if you’re broke. They just like that you’re nice to them. Now I’m wondering if I want to make the two hour drive to take her out? Do I?

Motorcycle? Or pussy? I love both. But will I look like a bad ass with pussy in my mouth, or a bad ass helmet and bike? I’m torn between the two because a few days ago I was all angry and depressed. Now I’m getting messages from her constantly and cute photos.

What if I start to catch feelings?

Before anyone says date someone your age, I don’t know where people my age hang out. Also they think I’m a kid. I’m also not making enough money for them and I’m all, it doesn’t have to be a ten star date ya know? We can have a picnic and get some KFC or something. Something simple and sweet.

Mention this to a younger girl and she goes nuts. It’s like, wow, this dude LIKES me. It’s weird.

And another thing, I’d never date anyone from work. There are beautiful girls at work but, work is for work. I learned that the hard way.

I’ll say this, I haven’t thought about Mariana as much. Not with this new girl constantly messaging me and sending me cute photos.
