i got lazy

ok, i admit it, i got lazy with blogging. So quick catch up. the lady that called me after swallowing the sleeping pills is ok. well alive. She is going to counseling twice a week and not returning to work. she told me she would keep me updated on how she is doing. This upcoming week is my last week at the store actually. Im kind of sad about it though, finally started getting used to them. I am transferring to a store a little closer to home. 15 min from where im at now instead of 30min. And as of second weekend in june it will only be about 5 min away. Place im moving to is one exit away from the new store. Its gonna be great! Dreidel will have a yard and another dog to wear her out. They met today and get along very well. Its a black lab so they are both very payful. The past week i have been catching up on the show Heroes. Starting with season one so far. Its a show i never watched before but its quite fun. Its also nice to watch an episode right after another and not waiting for a week in between.

manager/suicide hotline??

So tonight had an interesting turn of events...
It all started with a text message from one of my employees saying " i just cant live anymoore(yes 2 o's), sorry. " I thought she was just being over dramatic because she was sick(as I'm covering for her tomorrow) and i replied back just saying its ok i have no problem working for you tomorrow. Followed by a phone call from her , so emotionally out of control i could barely understand her. Saying how she was all alone, she didn't know what to do, no one was there for her. I tried to calm her down but she then hung up. From there i called got her address from the store, called 911 and sent them out. She called me back again, once again just saying how she was all alone, she wanted to sleep and not wake up. That she was a failure of a mother (her son was caught selling drugs at school and is in a whole lot of other trouble), her family was gone , and a bunch of repeating the same thing over. She then started drifting away. I kept trying to keep her awake and find if she took anything like sleeping pills. The phone went silent disconnected. At that time an officer called me saying that the address was incorrect, asking me my phone number, address, date of birth(like i was lying? ).. She called me back again, this time i got out of her that she had indeed taken some pills, she didnt know what kind, but it was a whole bottle. She wanted me to know that i was a good guy and could tell that i had a great heart( i think maybe she wanted to clear that up for all the grief i had gotten at the store, maybe not sure why really).. I tried to keep her talking, worked for awhile, then i could hear her drifting off asleep, and then silence. I called my district manager, who i had been on the phone with on and off during this whole ordeal.. she was trying to get a real address for this employee. A little time passed of unknowing and the employee called me once again. I asked how she was and if she was ok, she stated yes and there was fire and police officers there. She apologized for bringing me into all of it and that she just wanted to talk to someone. It ended with me having her get an officer on the phone, but that never happened. I did hear a guy in the background saying get off the phone. SO at this point of the night not sure what else to do. Both my and my district manager called on people she knew, no answers or the ones that did have the same address that we did for her. (all work related people). So that's the exciting story of the evening... more details to come soon i hope. I swear i have dealt with more in 2 months here in this Starbucks than i ever have as a manager. sheesh.
