SO.
๐ Shauntae ๐
SOOO.
๐ Shauntae ๐
WORK DRAMA.
THE SHUNT
WHATS THE TEA
WHATS THE TEA
๐ Shauntae ๐
oKAY. SO.
๐ Shauntae ๐
There is a couple that works at the store, Joey and Natasha. They're currently in the middle of a dramatic breakup.
๐ Shauntae ๐
Natasha did a no call, no show today - her second one this week. My manager called me to see if I could cover. I go in and Joey is in the store, telling our manager Natasha isn't coming in.
๐ Shauntae ๐
The manager said that Natasha should've called before her shift. It isn't Joey's responsibility to relay messages to the manager.
๐ Shauntae ๐
The manager did a write-up for Natasha since this is the second no call, no show.
๐ Shauntae ๐
Joey goes downstairs - he and Natasha live in the store's basement apartment - and says he'll be back for his shift later.
๐ Shauntae ๐
Joey returns twenty minutes later to tell the manager that NATASHA SAYS SHE HAD COVID.
๐ Shauntae ๐
That she got tested back before a medical procedure she was supposed to have on Monday - which, by the fucking way, was the OTHER DAY she pulled a no call, no show.
๐ Shauntae ๐
And the test was positive.
๐ Shauntae ๐
SO IF SHE DOES HAVE COVID, THAT MEANS SHE EXPOSED THE WHOLE FUCKING STORE VIA JOEY.
๐ Shauntae ๐
The manager has doubts because why tell anyone AFTER being alerted of a write-up?
๐ Shauntae ๐
Why not tell Joey she was exposing him to fucking covid???
๐ Shauntae ๐
She texted our manager, claiming she told Joey back on Monday, he's a shitty man and forgot to tell people.
๐ Shauntae ๐
And it's like honey. YOU CAN TELL US YOURSELF.
๐ Shauntae ๐
Joey ran down to the nearest pharmacy for a test when he was told Natasha had covid.
๐ Shauntae ๐
So like ???
๐ Shauntae ๐
FEELING LIKE SHE'S LYING TO TRY TO GET OUT THE WRITE-UP.
๐ Shauntae ๐
AND THE MANAGER IS FEELING THAT, TOO.
๐ Shauntae ๐
joey is wearing a mask upon manager instruction and he's to test each day before work.
THE SHUNT
oh my fucking god
THE SHUNT
why do ppl behave like this it sounds like a sitcom plot
๐ Shauntae ๐
so it's either natasha is fucking lying, which is shitty, or she exposed the whole staff to covid because she can't fucking just send a damn text.
๐ Shauntae ๐
she took joey's phone so it's not like he can call. he's been using his old phone for internet access.
THE SHUNT
THE SHUNT
oh my god I HOPE SHE WAS JUST FAKING BUT IT SUCKS EITHER WAY
๐ Shauntae ๐
REALLY HOPING SHE'S FAKING.
๐ Shauntae ๐
we did have another employee tell us before natasha did she had covid.
๐ Shauntae ๐
like last night told the manager.
๐ Shauntae ๐
brenda is that employee. she felt like shit having to callout.
๐ Shauntae ๐
SO MAYBE NATASHA DOES HAVE IT?
๐ Shauntae ๐
the manager and i put on masks for the shift. i'm gonna test tonight.
๐ Shauntae ๐
idk like other employees that caught it fucking alerted the manager asap.
๐ Shauntae ๐
natasha is fucking 39.
๐ Shauntae ๐
she's a grown ass adult.
๐ Shauntae ๐
she constantly calls out.
๐ Shauntae ๐
and flakes
๐ Shauntae ๐
it, idk, I'M CRANKY.
๐ Shauntae ๐
we have a small staff of EIGHT.
๐ Shauntae ๐
EIGHT PEOPLE.
๐ Shauntae ๐
alan and i can't work more than 28 hours a week or risk losing our state insurance.
THE SHUNT
SHE IS 39 OMG
๐ Shauntae ๐
YEAH. joey is 26.
THE SHUNT
THIS WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT THIS WAS A STORY OF 2 20 YEAR OLDS
๐ Shauntae ๐
YEAH. I KNOW.
THE SHUNT
JUST THE ONE, LMAO
๐ Shauntae ๐
she's also pregnant with his kid.
THE SHUNT
THE SHUNT
๐ Shauntae ๐
YEAH.
๐ Shauntae ๐
IT'S MESSY.
๐ Shauntae ๐
though idk if she's still pregnant because she's constantly threatening to abort it.
๐ Shauntae ๐
and i'm just
๐ Shauntae ๐
idk i'm like hoping she just leaves
๐ Shauntae ๐
joey is a fucking idiot, but he works.
๐ Shauntae ๐
WOW I SOUND VERY COMPASSIONATE RN.
๐ Shauntae ๐
jfc.
THE SHUNT
SOUNDS LIKE THEY HAVE WORN YOUR EMPATHY DOWN TO A NUB LOL
๐ Shauntae ๐
THEY HAVE.
๐ Shauntae ๐
eli came home with covid tests.
๐ Shauntae ๐
"time to get nose-fucked!" they said.
THE SHUNT
i mean... when you're right, you're right
i mean... when you're right, you're right
๐ Shauntae ๐
i mean, they're right.
๐ Shauntae ๐
i told my dad that i might not be able to visit next week.
๐ Shauntae ๐
then the fucking drama that is prompting the testing.
๐ Shauntae ๐
he thinks natasha is lying but also understands that i have to test.
๐ Shauntae ๐
WHAT SUCKS IF ONE OF US HAS COVID, WE ALL HAVE IT IN THIS HOUSE.
๐ Shauntae ๐
and thinking about the shit with natasha it's like yeah, she would fucking not tell anyone to purposely expose joey.
๐ Shauntae ๐
since she took his phone, tried to destroy his x-box, etc.
๐ Shauntae ๐
which is like fuck this.
๐ Shauntae ๐
oKAY. FIRST TEST NEGATIVE.
๐ Shauntae ๐
i'll test again tomorrow.
๐ Shauntae ๐
this fucking blows.
๐ Shauntae ๐
not really feeling the centaur & satyr prompt.
๐ Shauntae ๐
LIKE I'VE WRITTEN ABOUT ONE A SATYR BEFORE.
๐ Shauntae ๐
for an anthology.
๐ Shauntae ๐
but weh
๐ Shauntae ๐
brain empty.
๐ Shauntae ๐
MIGHT SKIP TO WEREWOLVES.
๐ Shauntae ๐
write that one tonight and idk, see if it opens my brain for some satyr action.
๐ Shauntae ๐
HOPE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LIKING MY STUFF.
๐ Shauntae ๐
