Personal hell & back again

Rumors about me at work

I was having a pretty boring day at school, but for
whatever reason, I was in the greatest mood at work. I was
smiling at all the customers, being very polite and
informative for them. Hell,I even went to far to make
chocolate milk for this old lady (I don't like seniors) to
give to her grandson (I have a healthy fear of kids).
Normally, I wouldn't do it, but I was doing it anyway. And
I normally never start getting my work done till 7, once
the dinner timing is over. I slowly get stuff done, eat
something, talk and then once 8 rolls around, I have two
hours to clean. But this time, I was actually getting stuff
done early, which was good.

It was a little after 8, I remember this much because I had
taken my visor off (I always do after 8 so I don't take it
home) and Jackie had a big order in drive-thru. Not only
did she have a few cars in front of this large order, but
she's about 6 months pregnant, so I didn't want her to do
it all. So I went into the back to start getting drinks,
bagging, stuff like that and helping Inga in the kitchen so
the food could be ready to pass out. When the last order
was taken, and hte food was sitting and waiting to be
handed out, the phone in the office rang. Bill was doing
the broiler parts so I went and answered it. It was Tigger.

Tigger: Hey, it's me. I need to talk to you before I talk
to Bill
Cass: Ok, whatcha need?
Tigger: Um, I don't know how to say this. Did you fuck Josh?
Cass: (blinks twice) Huh? Wait, what?
Tigger: I was wondering if you slept with him after your
shift in Eglin Parkway.
Cass: No, why the hell would you ask that?
Tigger: Cause word is getting from his store to ours that
you slept with him.
Cass: Who the hell here thinks this?
Tigger: Berwyn is talkign about it (my main manager),
Monica has a few things to say, Justin and that's all I got
so far. But the whole store down there thinks so. Something
about that you were drunk.
Cass: What the fuck?!? Yes, I went to his place and I had a
wine cooler and he has a beer, but we didn't even hug each
other. I was there all night talking to him.
Tigger: Well, that's what I heard. Berwyn was asking me if
it was true and I told him that I didn't know.
Cass: (beginning to cry) Well, thank you for at least
telling me about it. I'll go get Bill for you.

From there, I hid in the dining room and cried. I went to
Bill, hysterical of course, asking him if he knew anything
about this. He just looked at me and saw that I was crying
and asked me why. I told him all about it and then we had a
few orders come up. I just sat in the office to calm down
and the phone rang. It was Mikey, the shift manager at
Eglin Parkway. I just asked him what the hell was going on
over there. He said he heard about the rumor, and was
thinking that IF it was true that he thought I had better
taste. He figured it wasn't true, but after working with me
for a night, he knew how I was personality wise. We've
talked on the phone before quite a few times before we met.
He said that he would try to do some damaage control over
there for me. But that even Josh looks like an ass because
now "he's cheating on Delana". But, he didn't cheat! Or at
least not with me. We're both guilt free.

I just gave the phone to Bill and said it was Mikey and
just started to finish cleaning. I did the trash, the
bathrooms and such. I asked Bill if I could lock the doors
and he gave me the keys and said "I will end this". Then I
told him crying, that Josh wants to work in this store.
Mikey told me that Josh was telling Christine that he will
work here. Then I just walked away. I don't care how much I
love this store now, or how well I get along with everyone
here, if he comes to this store AND schedules me with him,
then I will fucking quit this job. Once I had everything
done, I started to help out in the back.

We were all sitting in the dining room and just relaxing,
and Bill told me that he would end this. He would find
whoever started the rumor and "shove his foot up their
ass". I'm one of his girls, I've been working for him since
May 11th. We are close. Especially since the rumor before
this was that I was sleeping with Bill. He ended it two
weeks later. But Tracy, our district manager heard and
almost transfered me. Bill talked her out of it and
explaining why it wouldn't be true, which is wasn't. We
know how rumors work. This will get to Tracy again. And if
it does, Bill won't be able to talk her out of anythign
again.

So, I'm gonna have to talk to people here and explain
myself. But with Mikey doing damage control in his store
and Bill playing detective, maybe everything will turn out
ok. I just know that I was crying so hard and so long last
night that I was worn out last night when I got home and
had a bad headache.

I told Chris, I figured that he'd find out somehow and I
should be the one to tell him. I told him that I wasn't
sure if he'd believe me, he said "Of course I would". So I
told him and he said, "Well, it's not true, isn't it?" I
couldn't believe this. That was why I wasn't sure that he'd
believe me. A rumor pretty much saying that I cheated on
Chris with a manager. I didn't know just how much he'd
believe me. He asked me "why wouldn't I?", but I just
didn't answer that. I fell asleep by the computer. I woke
up a few hours later to "I love you" and "Bon nuit" so it's
all good.

Hopefully, things will get cleared up. All because of when
I went over there on the 3rd. I typed out an entry about it
on the 9th. Only Jeff knows the details. I just briefly
mentioned to people how the night at work went and that I
went to his house to just hang out and then I left. Jackie
wouldn't say anything, neither would Jeff. He's friends
with me, and best friends with Josh's fiancee. The only
person I can think of is either Diana, who worked with us
that night who heard his invite to me, or Josh himself. But
why would he make himself look like as ass for a rumor?
