World changes

Well great. In the space of a day, my life has just reversed. Not completely, but still enough to make me sincerly pissed off. My bestest best friend, Jared (mentioned numerous times elsewhere) and I saw his dad on Father's day (normal, eh?) Apparently I said something that panicked his sister. She phones Jared's mom and expresses worry that I'm "stringing him along". Valid worry, right? So Jared's mom phones him (while he's at work) and makes him all worried. Jared phones me up, I'm half asleep, neither of us have any idea what was said. Hour later, Jared's mom phones me (I'm still sleepy) She tells me that it's okay to be friends, just don't string him along, blah, blah. (meddle, meddle, meddle) I cut the convo short (after about a half hour) by saying "you're my employer, I'm your employee, this is going to make things weird at work. Jared and I will work things out. Thank you." and hung up. I'm sick of feeling like i'm ruining Jared's life, so I pack up my shit (I was at his place) and head to his work to give him his keys. I tell him we'll talk later, and head to my friend's place to be held and cry for a while. His mother phones to ask if I'm upset with her, and I say I am. she talks some more, I insist that this is not good b/c she's my boss. she assures me that this was outside emploee relations and that she has every right to meddle cause she's Jared's mom. I ask "what did you do for Jared's birthday?" reply? "nothing" and I simply say, "Duly Noted." We make appropriate good-byes and hang up. half a min later, the cafe manager phones (from J's mom's cell) and says "You're fired." What? Why? "oh, I could name 10 things off the top of my head." Please do, I'd love to know. "Because I said so." (insert massive tyrade including horrible language *fuck every second word* about how dare I speak to a mother that way, etc. Am I a mother? etc.) She then threatens to "kick [my] fucking ass" and I reply No, I don't think you will. "Why not?" Because you're just a huge bully and this conversation is over. much crying ensues. Half hour later she phones back to offer me two weeks , which I accept. I go get Jared from work, we talk.
Next Day
I phone my mother for alternate reasons, and end up telling her everything. She comiserates. (I love my Family so much!) fifteen minuets later my Dad phones. In that short span, he's gotten all the info from mom, and has called the Employment standards board to get legal info. (see why I love my Family? they're so awesome! Next blog: my awesome family!) He says he really doesn't want me to go back in there, and after some thought, I agree. I phone employment standards, find out that I'm entitled to a week's pay, write up a letter, and phone to inform J's mom and the manager that I won't be returning to work at all, that I will be leaving a letter that is request for wages, and will be talking to the district manager (in charge of my cafe company) about the issue. Jared talks to his mom to tell her that we will work this out, stop interfering, he's happy. Jared's mom later phones me to mention she talked to Jared, she's doing something (who knows what) about the manager, can we put this behind us?, can you get another job soon?, and apologizes. I'm glad something is happening with the manager. The crap she's put the cafe through is phenominal. (not just me, many other employees) I now need to procure another job, however, and it seems clear that Jared's mom and I will not be getting along. Let alone his sister who undoubtably thinks I'm some sort of crazed hussy who uses her brother. Nor do I know what to do about Jared. I love him. A lot. I want what's best for him, but I don't know whether I want to marry him or not. Geez. If anyone has any thoughts, let er rip.
what a huge post, and what a crappy day.
I just wish that I could tell everyone involved that I love Jared, I want what's best for him. You had no right to fire me. I was an impeccible employee. I just wish I could rant and rave to their faces, but in cases like these, It's best to hold your tongue. Lest you regret it.
