This week, starting yesterday, started looking quite bad.
Monday morning: I’ve just got myself into a routine of getting up a few hours before I need to just to sit and drink coffee, catch up on TV I missed the previous night and also have plenty of time to slowly get ready for work. I was doing this yesterday when my phone started ringing. My boss on the other end. I ignored two calls and gave it an hour before I rang him back.
ME- “Hello mate, you rang”HIM- “Yeah, I was just walking past your house”
ME- “Oh you not at work today then?”
HIM- “Ermm, no, I’ve just been sacked”
ME- “Huh? Say again? What?”
HIM- “I walked in this morning to open up and the area manager was there waiting for me, basically had to hand the pub keys back and that was it”
Me- “So what happens to me now? Do I still go in?
Him- “To be honest I don’t know, you’ll have to go in a find out, sorry mate”
Well, this was news I could do without and just before Christmas. I don’t need this, yet another f**king stress, I’m getting sick of this.
I got to work and spoke to the temporary manager that had been thrown in place, I was directed to the Area Manager.
It then went like this:-
12:30pm- “Well, yes you can see the end of this week out”
12:45pm- “You can carry on being the DJ on weekend nights if you like but that’s all we can offer you”
13:30pm- The area manager left saying she would be back by 3pm. I then start wondering where to look for a new job.
15:00pm- Area manager returns, “can I speak to you in private for a minute”
“Right, I’ve been told I have to keep you on”
Turns out I’ve been noticed by somebody at head office.I don’t know who but it would seem I have a guardian angel at a higher level than my area manager. The way I finished work last night was very different to the way I started. It seemed as though something might be going right for a change.
It also turns out that every one of my regulars yesterday had ‘a word’ with the area manager and told her I should be kept on. In fact I should take over!
Today I was in work for what should have been only a couple of hours. It turned out to be most of the day. It would appear that I have in fact been marked as the next permanent manager the only thing I need to do is get a copy of my licence sent over. It may well not happen until after Christmas now but I have been told more than once today that I am ‘safe’. Untouchable in fact. I don’t know who it is that has my back but I would like to thank them.
Tonight I am able to relax at home, knowing everything will probably turn out for the best. I have brought a small bottle of vodka and I’m having a drink with an atmosphere I’m not used to- Optimistic!
Hell it could all go wrong tomorrow, but please universe- “just give me this tonight… Just give me this one!”

Awesome! So happy to read this news. 🙂
Thanks. Now i’m just waiting for next year to start. That’s when it all begins.
That’s great news. Isn’t it good when something goes just right and you feel like “yus, it’s my turn now”
It’s a long time coming. But YES! My time now, even if it lasts just for tonight, I’m happy.
Well done! hard work does pay off 😉
And I can’t help but think the hard work has just started.
Good to hear that your Guardian Angel is for real. Sometimes life can be a roller-coaster of a ride and it seems you took that ride over the last few days.
Stay up there and enjoy.
Thanks Hugh. Last few months have been one hell of a ride. But it would appear that theres someone looking out for me now, workwise at least.
