Stoned!

Ok, so like I said last night...I'd gotten some stuffs from Claire.  Uh huh.  WOW!  hahaha  SOOO wasn't expecting those results!  ;-p  It's not like I smoke a lot, ya know?  I can still count on 2 hands how many times I have.  Halloween had me crawling the freaking walls!  Once with Manda just made me uber sleepy & VERY talkative!  lol  The other times...I really didn't feel much...maybe a bit drowsy but that's about it.  DUDE!!!  haha Ok, so while smoking it, I was having issues.  I had to keep relighting it.  It was about to aggravate me.  :-p  Once I finally finished it off...I was like...well, that was a waste of time!  I felt nothing.  However, about 10-15 minutes later...my lips & cheeks started this numb-tingly sensation thingy & I was like...hmm...!  Then my lungs/rib cage started feeling cold & heavy.  Then the rest of my skin got that numb-tingly sensation.  Then I started getting super sleepy & I SWEAR it felt like I was DRUNK!  lol  I couldn't walk straight or properly...I was just completely woozy.  So I laid down...thinking it was nite nite time...lol...& then I got WICKED horny!  AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!  So...umm...*blushes*...let's just say...BEST uhh...self-indulgence..*smirks*...EVER!!!!!  WHOA!!!  hahahaha  Good gawd!!!  *snorts*  It took about 15 minutes to calm my breathing back down!  :-p  But once I did, I was OUT like a light!!  And slept like a freaking log til about 4:15 am.  Got up to pee & went right back to sleep til the alarm went off at 6:30.  :D

I messaged Manda about this experience later in the morning.  She was laughing at me.  :-p  Said that Claire always has the GOOD shit!  ;-)  And, according to Cindy, Claire would easily be my "dealer" if I ever decided to go down that road.  Makes me ponder things...*chuckles*

Anyway, the carefreeness of the morning swiftly faded.  Kelli had called.  I answered.  We chatted a few & then she asked for Cindy.  Now while they were talking, Cindy mentioned (several times) "Mel's 2 day vacation".  I was completely lost!  WTF?!  I have no vacation scheduled!  o.0  When she got off the phone, I asked what she was talking about.  She said something about it meaning my Sun & Mon off...something...talking in circles & then she just shut down & said she didn't wanna talk about it...cuz Kelli & I are friends.  Ok, then I was REALLY confused!  Huh?!?!  I finally drug it out of her...this is so bizarre!

Last night, Kelli texted Cindy, indicating that her paychecks have been wrong.  Implied that Cindy misunderstood their agreement when she went down to 1 day/week in March.  Kelli says she's supposed to be paid her old salary rate (monthly salary divided by 160 hrs = hourly rate).  Cindy says she told her that she had no problems still helping out 1 day/week but couldn't go lower than $10/hr...& THAT'S what she's been paying her.  Cindy even told me that at the very beginning, while we were discussing me going on salary.  But here's the KICKER!!  Kelli wants BACK PAY now...for the last 3 months!!  Are you fucken kidding me?!  Dumbfounded doesn't even begin to cover it!!  1st of all, NONE of this sounds like Kelli!!  It sounds more like it's coming from John or something.  No clue.  Secondly, Kelli's salary was outrageous!  She was getting the "daughter of the owner" salary...not anything feasible...& Cindy had to grandfather her in upon the sale of the business (yes, it was part of the "deal").  So putting her back on hourly was a massive relief for Cindy!  Now...3rd...she works ONE DAY A WEEK!  If that!!!  That does not warrant a pay rate of $17/hr!!

Just...absolutely...flabbergasted!!  o.0

I totally agree with Cindy.  We came up with the above 3 points together.  Kelli is due to come in on Mon cuz I'm off & it'll just be Cindy & Claire there.  Kelli felt the need to fill in.  It was HER idea!  Cindy is just beside herself about what to do about the situation.  I told her...simply tell Kelli...she CAN'T pay her that kind of pay rate...plain & simple!  The reasons can come up if/when she debates it.  I also told Cindy DO NOT give her back pay either.  Kelli knew that 1st month if something was wrong.  IF it had been, she would've (needed to) said something right away!  3 months later...sorry about your luck!!  Seriously?!  I told Cindy I've been thinking the last month or so that we're getting to the point where we really don't even need her there anyway. :/  We've got this.  And if something happens, well, we deal with it.  Usually meaning somebody doesn't get a day off.  *shrugs*  It is what it is.  So if Kelli decides to walk...LET her!  At this point, we're not really losing a valuable person.  We lost her 3 months ago...

I also told Cindy that I'd been thinking about SIBA & have pretty much decided I'd just stay here & run the store.  Kelli can't...won't...work 5 days straight.  Cindy said she'd been thinking the same thing & asked if I thought Manda would be willing to step in.  lol  I just laughed!!  ;-)  Manda had actually offered to do just that a couple of days ago.  ;-)  Then Cindy went on to say that she'd be perfectly fine if Manda also wanted to start that one day a week that Kelli was supposed to be doing.  Heh!  ;-p

So I texted Manda, all cryptic-like...lol...told her we needed to chat later!  :-p

I left work at 4:15.  Cindy was still going strong, with several customers in the store!  We were supposed to close at 4...lol.

I went to CATO & got 3 tank tops that I'd been debating for a week.  :-p  I don't buy clothes very often.  It stays horribly hot at work cuz of poor insulation & Cindy keeps the air at minimal to avoid a $1000 bill.  But I'd decided I'd swallow my embarrassment of wearing tanks in public (aside from the beach) in order to be a little bit more comfortable at work.  PLUS...I wanna show off my arm now, too!  *giggles*  I've gotten SO many random compliments on it from people everywhere I go...& it's not even finished yet!  :D

I finally got home & Manda called when her phone recharged.  I told her about Kelli & the day & Cindy asking her to come back basically.  hehe  She was just as bewildered as I am about Kelli's actions.  She totally agrees with what Cindy & I think.  It's just so freaking bizarre!  So, I guess we're just in limbo at the moment...til we find out what Kelli is gonna do.  :/  And yes, she'd come back to work at the store 1 day a week (but not Thurs cuz she'll be in class as of late August).  :D

After I hung up with her, I went to Wal-Mart.  Returned 3 shirts that Mom had gotten me the other day & got 3 tanks, 3 shorts & new jammies.  :-)  Grabbed dinner & came home.

I think I'm getting sleepy now.  :-p
