March 19…

Six mouths to feed…

Payday.. That’s about the time everyone decides to show up for work. Everyone wants to get paid, not everyone wants to put in work. I had to update the Roster, add a new manager, remove others.. again. Yes. Dead weight.. just collecting a paycheck. That’s going to stop. This new manager though.. granted he was the only one interested, he often thinks he is the exception to the rules in place. I don’t know what sort of deal he worked out with the last owner, but I’m not the last owner. Definitely not the right parts to be her, and I guarantee I don’t think like her either. Too many former employees made that mistake of thinking that I would be just like her.. Well, that’s likely the reason they are former employees. Still, I had no real reason to tell him no, to the position, though once he got the position, he immediately.. and blatantly, decided to ignore a rule in place. What is it with these people and their damn animals? Well, I don’t know what his issue is, aside having a problem with Authority, but we’re going to have to find some sort of common ground.. or that whole manager thing may end up a shorter reign than I thought.

Didn’t stay long. Told all of them, that no animals were to be inside the parlor, and only one, Evangeline (of all people), acknowledged what I said. I didn’t see anyone bring the mutt back outside, but if I come into work and its there, I’ll be letting it back outside where it belongs. The purifier is already broken, but the purifier doesn’t come with a filter, and the last thing I need is for someone to complain about fur in the water we sell them. Contaminate my spring if they want to.. Swear… I feel like the only one with some sort of business sense. Everyone wants to get all chummy so they can be the exception to the rules. My own family pays for the services of the Dollhouse and follows the rules set in place… what makes them think I’ll make exceptions for total strangers?

Business as usual. No refunds. No exceptions. No scene. Have a good time.
