Oh No!

Today was the day of my uniform fitting. Notice the word "was." :(

I was so freaking excited to finally try on my very own pair of bright orange Hooter's panties, oh wait are those shorts? Haha, just kidding! But seriously, I was really excited but then I got stuck at my current job on a project that should've been done in half the time but I ran into all sorts of complications. I probably could've made it there in time if I wasn't required to show up "photo shoot ready." My current job is in retail merchandising so I'm only expected to wear khakis and a Polo or plain colored shirt. Not exactly Hooters material. So I needed some extra time to run home and glam up before heading to get fitted for my uniform.

Around 2:00 I called Hooters and asked to speak to "Manager #2." The girl that answered told me she wouldn't be in until 3:15. Oh ya, that's right! She did tell me this yesterday. Crap!  So I told the girl my situation and she said, well let me check her schedule real quick and see what days she'll be here this week. After waiting about a minute a man picks up and says, "Hello, this is ****** can I help you?" I said, "I was just waiting to speak to ******, she just put me on hold." He states, "Yeah, I know, this is ****** the manager, can I help you?" Geez! No need to be a rude ass! I apologized and told him I didn't realize she was transferring me. He repeats himself. (Wow really? I'm obviously gonna have to teach this asshole some manners.) So I go on to explain my situation to him. I tell him that Manager #2 (actually since I've now got the job let's start calling her Boss Lady, yeah that sounds good lol) aka Boss Lady knows that I'm still currently employed and that I have projects that sometimes take longer than expected which is the case today. I told him I'm all the way on the other side of town and can't possibly make it in time so I wondered if I could reschedule the fitting for a little later today or tomorrow. His assholeness replies, "(sigh) Well you'll just have to call her at 3:15 and ask her."

Well great, I've made a wonderful first impression with Asshole Manager (yep, that's his name now until further notice) whom I didn't even know existed until this moment. I'm hoping he's just a fill-in manager and not the real deal if you know what I mean.

I anxiously wait for 3:15 to roll around and call back to speak to Boss Lady. I'm put on hold for a few minutes and to my relief she answers instead of Asshole Manager. I explain the situation to her and she tells me not to worry, that's perfectly fine, no big deal, honey this and honey that. I knew I liked her! ;) I also stated that I hoped I didn't make a bad impression with Asshole Manager and that he seemed a little annoyed at my rescheduling. She told me not to worry and she'll chat with him. She then said, "He's not the restaurant manager anyway, I am. So really you have nothing to worry about. I know you're still working for another company and I commend you for hanging in their with them and not burning bridges. We definitely need reliable people here and this just shows that you won't run off on us without notice, even if you are looking for another job." (Ahh... relief!) So we rescheduled for tomorrow, anytime between 12 and 5. Awesome! I'll have time to go get my nails done and have ample time to get "photo shoot" ready. :D

Stay tuned for my post on the uniform fitting tomorrow!
