So that situation got out of hand quickly. Now everyone at work knows about An Average Alyssa. Normally I would love free viewers. But, I was avoiding the new work place finding this blog. Its not like I am hiding anything. I am an honest person, and if you ask the question I will reply.
And that's the thing with my honesty: it gets me in trouble. I was honest with my boss in Germany, and he wouldn't hire me full time (but gave me two awards on the way out. Lol.) I am honest with my friends and they hate it. I am honest with strangers, and I come off badly. But I never learn.
So in all honesty, I would like to mention what happened in my point of view.
1: I got hired at McDonalds after coming from a job that paid me $3 more an hour, where I had a steady schedule of 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I was upset at first, but the idea grew on me before I actually started.
2: I started and loved the job. Mostly everyone was kind, with the exception of one coworker who was snotty to me. And although I came home with grease down to my bones it seemed, I was not dissatisfied with my job.
3: I was told the coworker who had not been nice to me did not like me. I told the person i really didn't care.
4: I post about why this coworker could possibly think I am weird, and she sees it. She then gets offended and replies angrily.
5: I reply to her reply saying that I was not meaning to offend her, and I believe she had misinterpreted the post.
6: I also send the reply to her Facebook inbox.
7: I receive no acknowledgment of my apology on either site. Then i write this reply on her wall in hopes to clarify further.
Well, I am off work for the next 18 days, so I can't say this to your face. I did say you were catty, but I wanted to let you know that everyone else was very nice to me the last two weeks. You just weren't. So I apologize again for anything I said. I know the whole store knows about my blog now, and while I appreciate the free publicity, I was keeping it private for a reason.
You said let's be adults so here it goes: I am sorry for you thinking my post was mean, and again, I assure you that was not my intention. I am sure you didn't mean to offend me.
I hope that since you ignored my private message apology, you have accepted it. I would like to move past this, and continue to work as adults by your side. This entire situation was blown out of proportion and I am sorry.
In the meantime, I will attempt to enjoy the limited time I have with my boyfriend. I hope you can enjoy the next 18 days as well.
8: I write this blog post to attempt to clarify the issue.
9: she has since accepted my apology.
Really, this shows why I hate rumors. I do not speak them. I have heard several rumors flying around the store and never once repeated them. I feel like rumors are pointless and just end up hurting people.
My entire work has this now, so HELLO AND WELCOME!! I will probably not be posting much, due to the fact I am on vacation with Boyfriend who is only visiting for a few short weeks, and who will be returning to Korea.
He arrived safely, and is now sleeping.
Thank you for visiting, and since you're here, you might as well go to my Facebook page at Facebook.com/anaveragealyssa and give it a like.
