I was working at a fast food place while going to college as a cosmetologist. I had about 4 more months of hours to do before I could finally be able to get approved to go to state board with my grades, I was doing very well in college even though I had to work long hours into the night to pay for a few things along the way.
I was still living with my Dad and Step Mom and I also wanted to give them a little money to help out which wasn't much cause my job was only part time. But I gave them what I could and they were happy about it.
Since I had started in the fall of "88" and had to go to work in the afternoon, then my time in the afternoon at college was not what it should be to get all my 1500 hours that I needed to get at the end of the school year. So I had to go back the following year to finish.
The first day back to school and also the day that all the employees that worked the evening shift was going to meet the new evening assistant manager that afternoon at the time I had to start my shift.
I walked into the classroom for our instructor to start the class and she introduced a few more students. One of them was a guy, but a few were females. I had made a friend last year in class that I was always doing things with just as a friend, like going out to bars and dancing, going to movies, and just hanging around her house talking with her and her family.
So my friend and I decided we were going to make the guy feel like he was a part of the group since he was the only guy there. We asked him if he would like our help in class and also to take his breaks and lunch with us and he said yes he would.
After lunch and also our afternoon break, we all were sitting around and talking when I spoke up that I had to get back in the classroom so I could do some extra work cause I had to leave early to not only get my uniform on but had to meet the new assistant manager today at 4 pm.
The guy asked me where I worked and I told him. He grinned and said, "I have something to tell you! I am your new assistant manager."
