What do the Atlanta Braves,Baltimore Orioles,Colorado Rockies,Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim,Minnesota Twins,San Diego Padres,San Francisco Giants,Texas Rangers,Washington Nationals & this Blogger have in common? Were all getting new managers. Care to have me explain well....back on November 21st when I got a rare night off. Yes!!!!!! its true Virginia I got a rare night off from my job at Dollar General. Anyways I was downtown preparing to watch the lighting of the State Christmas Tree when I noticed I had a text message from a co-worker as well a missed call but I thought maybe I might have butt-dialed the district manager so I thought I call her back saying sorry about the butt-dial I tried to call her but her voice mail was full so I couldn't leave a message so then I refocused on my coworkers text message that I had to read it said "Man I have some News our Store Manager just got fired right in front of me" my reply was "WTF!!!!!! no way" I was just about to ask details when my phone rang it was the district manager she said "I have some news to tell you that So-so is no longer with Dollar General your still employed so don't worry" after wiping my brow & catching my breath I was like "Otay what's next" "We'll we will have a new manager for your store sometime after Thanksgiving in the meantime work the remaining scheduled hours as scheduled if you have any problems with the schedule contact me & here's the new # for the combinations to the safes as well the alarm codes (more on the Alarm later) talk you down the road" I then relayed the information to my coworker what I just gotten in the call he was like "I know she told me the same thing before she left." Anyways so yeah I am getting a new manager much like the teams I mentioned before.
I don't know what to expected when this new person will start if its a male manager or are we staying with a female again either way I hope they will work with me in letting me have my summer vacation when I go to Chicago in 2026 as well let me continue to come in at a later time on when I attend my monthly show in Livonia as well let me have time off when if I request it in months of advance unlike the previous store manager did. As well give me a raise in pay for all the backlash I had to endure this year. I doubt that last one will occur but I can dream. As I type this message lately I have been getting messages from the District Manager she wonders why I am not doing everything expected for me to do what more can I do when theres only 2 of us working in the store at all times I have so much dirt on some employees why am I being singled out on what I do as well what I don't do communication is one thing my coworkers sometimes have problems with when I ask what is there for me to do especially when I do get those rare times when I am not scheduled to work.
Heres the Christmas Tree at the state capital of Michigan ain't it pretty.
Like the teams I mentioned at the top hopefully they can get along with their new manager & I hope I can as well stay tuned I am sure Ill have more to say about this adventure until then I am reminded what Rogers Hornsby once said "Any Ballplayer who doesn't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American, He's a Communist."
