AA Tango...

So here's the story of what happened. Thursday I got a call from the DM asking me to cover the Rancho Store (the one I just quit from) and reluctantly I said ok. I called Bellasposa (the job I was suppose to start on Friday) and said there was a mix up as to when my last day was and I needed to work at Alfred Angelo Friday. They said they would call me back and let me know the new schedule. Friday, I worked all day and then Friday night, the DM called me and asked me to come to the Huntington Beach store to meet with her and talk about "options". Again, reluctantly, I said ok but was hoping to hear from Bellasposa. I got ready to go to Huntington today but kept my phone one me just in case Bellasposa called. No, they didn't. So I resentfully drove to Huntington Beach. I got to the store and the DM said she will be with me shortly and asked the 3rd key to show me around. 4 hours later, the DM came to the front and said "alright Nicole, lets go to lunch". So we walked across the parking lot to a nice little Chinese Food Restaurant. She proceeded to ask me if I could work at Huntington for 2 weeks so she could create a position for me closer to home and that way I will get management training and also train the management there with the computers (because they are both new) as well as the new employees. I told her I would think about it. We talked for awhile about me leaving the Rancho Store and what has been going on there. She again told me how important I am to the company and she doesn't want to loose me. So we head back to the store. I finish the day and get ready to leave. Go to my car, check my messages and I had a voicemail from Bellasposa saying it's not going to work out. He said he emailed me and I didn't respond but when I got home, I had no email. And I was waiting for them to call. This is the 3rd call I was waiting for from them, so whatever. I guess that just wasn't meant to be. So now starts the Alfred Angelo tango! I am an assistant manager, training and in training and I have no home store. Based on the history of circumstances like this, I will probably be transferred all over SO Cal. *sigh* Why did I have to stir the waters?! Now I have to drive 2 hours round trip 5 days a week. I just hope to God that it truly is ONLY TWO WEEKS! But I can say I am happy to train that store. They need it! When I'm done with them, it will be a whole new store!!! :) I did notice a very important thing today however; at the end of the day, the Manager said "Thank you guys for a great day! You are the best team". I nearly choked on air! I haven't heard a manager say that in SOOO long! We'll see how it works out and what happens next...
