Get This

So, not so funny story that must be shared with the world:
Around 4:30 my trainer/dept manager asks me into her office. She shuts the door and tells me that she just got off the phone with Elmond, the HR manager in Colorado. My background check came in, and unfortunately there was something that didn't check out and that they would not be able to hire me. I am a great girl, I've worked hard and all I've done has been a huge help. I asked her what could make me not hired. She said usually it is something like a felony (yeah, me... a felonist) or under litigation (yeah... totally me). She said if I called Elmond he could tell me exactly what it was cause he cant tell her, but that things happen for a reason and they appreciate me. She walked me to my desk where I gave her my binders and the stuff she gave me back. All the while I was smiling, dunno why. I got to the car and LOST IT.

Yeah, I lost it. Cried hard core. Talked out loud about how wrong the whole thing was. This was supposed to be the job that kept Jameson and me afloat. Now I understood why Chilis wouldn't let me quit, cause I was really supposed to be working there. It was rough. I was going to call Jameson but I realized I had nothing to tell him when it came to a reason. I called Elmond.

He was nice when he heard who it was. Surprising. I told him that Laurie had told me that I was let go and I would like to know what about my background check disqualified me. He was confused, my background check wasn't done... so it wasn't me that had the bad background check and that I was to be at work the next morning and that he'd call Laurie.

Ummm... What? So I really dont know what to expect tomorrow morning. For her to tell me that she was right and I am let go, or for her to say that they got it wrong and I am supposed to be there. We hope it was that something was wrong and that I'm still employed there. But we dont know what could be wrong. I am the only new person in the branch, so he couldn't have mixed up the names. We just dont know. We'll see.

Best luck in your endeavors.
