Mac Dennis, the guy who did my training before I started at the garage, called me today for a ‘chat’ which turned out to be more scaremongering and gossip than you get in the Daily Express in a fortnight.
“Have you heard? Rumour from Head Office is they want to cut down on costs after a poor quarter financially, and filling station managers might be the first to go. They’re looking at ways of making garage responsibility part of the store manager’s workload” etc etc
I panicked for a minute or so, but then I thought ‘what would be the sense of taking me on in October if they were going to make my job obsolete in December?’ I know this company aren’t known for their sensible decisions, but I don’t think I have anything to worry about. I think it more likely that he heard a little something from someone and used it as an excuse to call other managers and talk about it rather than have to do some actual work for a change.
Anyway, enough of that….
I bought my first Christmas present today. I think that’s a new record for me! I saw a little something online and thought “Sophie and Tamara would love that!” so I went ahead and ordered it. I’m not gonna tell you what it is, in case they’re reading this, but I’ll give you a little clue: It plugs in, and has an on switch. I can say no more…..
