I need you guys right now. Let's talk!

[TopFive]

So ever since I got home back in December I have been struggling trying to find a job. So after two long months of patience and prayer, I have gotten scheduled for four interviews in the last three days!! Today I got hired at a casino to work security. I was happy until I realized that my ex still works there.... I'm very happy, but im kind of upset because out of all the casinos to send me to they chose the one that i will never go to! I asked my new boss if we patrol the restaurant that my ex works at and he said kinda because the restaurant isn't owned by the casino. He told me that i have an option of where I'd like to go, but i don't want to run into her or the guy she's with (he works there too).

 

I'm not ready to see them you guys. My life was fine until now. I have a headache just thinking about that evil B!! What should I do?

Dude tell me you didnt go and get a job where your ex girl works with her new man. C'mon she's gonna see right through that stuff.

Nooooooooooooo! Hell no! It's three casinos owned by the same company. The job I wanted was on the other side of the city, but they put me there. I didn't expect to get sent there. I never wanna see her again. Trust.

[FreeFallFeelin]

Well, if you have an option of where they send you, ask to be sent somewhere else. Maybe you can simply say that it is better for you and your schedule if you're at a different location.

 

Besides that, I wouldn't expect them to care about your woes too much. You may want to look into one of those other job opportunities that popped up...

[Tom1990]

Man, I can understand where you're coming from, for sure! Definitely see if they'll assign you to one of the other ones. If you've worked there before, tell them you just like it and want to work where it's familiar, like going home again. If you haven't worked there before, you can say you'd like the opportunity to grow and work somewhere new. Ya got excuses to choose from.

Is it possible for you to email your ex & say "Look. I just wanna tell you, so you won't be caught off guard, I got hired at the casino the other day, and I completely forgot you still worked at XXX restaurant. When I realized how close we'd be, I asked if they could send me elsewhere but they can't. I'm only telling you so you won't be alarmed if you happen to see me. It damn sure wasn't intentional, so feel free to ignore me as I will you if I see you. I just didn't want sh*t to be awkward if you saw me, not knowing I work there now. Peace." Can't you just do that? Or would she not believe you?

This girl is the rudest, meanest B i've ever met. She has a strong hate and alot of malice toward me so theres no need to even contact her.

As hard as it is to get another job I would just keep looking.. theres no way I could work around my ex either, not after the stuff I've been through, keep looking, relocate if you have to even, can you can relocate anywhere right now? Ive considered NYC area, Miami area, anywhere, right now im trying to clear my mind more then I'll decide on where.

topfive,

 

this is a non issue, dont let it become one. Who cares where she works, and so what if her restaurant is attached to your casino? Live your life, make your money, and do your thing. Shes allowed to have work as well, and shes allowed to exist in the same area you are in. Let her make a big deal about it and find a new job if it bothers her, there's plenty of restaurants out there. After so long would you really allow your ex to have another negative impact on your life by getting between you and a paycheck? Shes not worth that stress.

[mhowe]

You are working security for the casino -- and it's property. Not the restaurant. Chances are slim you will run into them -- only time would be shift change.

 

Don't make it a bigger problem than it is.

That's some real stuff. I'm going to stick with it because I've let her upset me last summer to the point where i would leave work early or call out. I'm not gonna lose money over her anymore.
