I was in the cafe today, that's The Cafe. I was speaking to Cafe Girl's Dad, I said I should be starting a new job soon, he asked me why, so I said a few things about this job. It was then I spot the company's logo on a card in the corner, turns out the cafe owner is best mates with my boss. I said "Don't say anything, 'cus I donno right.
I then asked when his daughter was next working, and he ask 'why', so I said "My friend got me some tickets to the theater, and I was wondering if she wanted to go with me", he asked me how much and when, and I said "Nah', it'll be my treat, it's an open ended tickt 'till the end of september, but that I can get that extended", and he said that she gets back from holiday next sunday..... I donno if I did that wrong or not.

the job thing was a bit unfortunate.
The girl thing doesn't sound fucked up though.
How come you don't know about the job yet?

He said the only thing he isn't to sure about is when it comes to the buisness side of things, which I didn't know about and it wasn't mentioned. But I put him at ease saying I've run successful buisnesses in the past, that you wouldn't be calling me in the first place if you didn't think I had a head on me. That I'll make mistakes and it'll take time to learn the trade, but that I have every faith in my abilities, and as far the technical side of things, there was nothing there that complexed me in the slightest... and with all the time and money spent outsourcing to India and the backwards'n'forwards and language barrier, that alone would pay for my wages.

it sounds like it was good that you called him.
I hope he sorts it out soon.
