June
2 - Carlos to trans. to Orl. I, Promotion to ABM by end of month assured. I never got the skinny on why but one of the ABM in our office (Orlando III) transferred to Orlando I and went back on the phones! He said it was because he could make a lot more money on the phones and he needed the extra income right now. But it blew my mind! I'd never heard of self-demoting to a part time, no insurance entry-level job by a full-time, salaried manager before. (True, I self-demoted in March of '92 at NRIARC but the position was still full-time and came with insurance.) With him out, there was now room for me and Roger assured me I'd get it by month's end.
6 - Out to P-House. 18 drinks. Yikes! But just a year after getting a DUI at least I didn't drive, right?
9 - Noticed 2 hubcaps missing. I assumed they'd been stolen off my Metro while it was parked across the street from the P-House since their lots were full. Um, yes I drove. Ugh.
11 - Out to Uno's after work (Roger, Pam, Steve) Pam worked in HR if I remember correctly. Steve was the other night shift supervisor who was also being groomed for ABM. Question was, each shift had 2 ABMs; a Team Leader and a Shift Leader. The Shift Leader was the higher rank and higher pay grade. Who would get the Shift Lead? Steve or me?
13 - Pride Fest Cent. FL Fairgrounds. I wasn't volunteering for this event but went as a spectator. By the time I got there, most of the events and booths had packed up as it rained hard all afternoon.
16 - Completed resume for home office. Though Roger in person made it sound like a shoe-in, I had to perform all the preliminary steps and undergo a full background check. I didn't think they'd be that thorough since I was an in-house promotion so I felt free to doctor up this resume saying I graduated with a BA from Rhode Island College. Oopsi, they found out and I had to feign ignorance and report my actual tenure as a non-graduating community college alumnus. Gulp. Coulda cost me the position. Doh!
19 - Busch Gardens Tampa I sure got around back in the '90s. Explorin' my new home.
22 - Visited w/ M&D. Went to Seminole Town Square Mall. I was even visiting the parents then.
29 - Start day as ABM. As the Shift Leader? No. That went to Steve. No surprise, Roger and Steve were then and still are to this day thick as thieves. Shit, we were telemarketers dammit...we were all thieves.
In June, I started putting on a little weight, edging towards an average in the upper 180s. (Those nights out with Roger and the gang at Uno's were all about the big 20 oz. beers and fattening bar food!) Average of 22 drinks per week. Only one day of exercise all month! Ugh.
Movies (first run and *second run):
Man In The Iron Mask
