Gearing up for battle

I said last week that I would hand in my notice at the pub if Iain didn't give me some help on Sundays. I have since found out that this is exactly what he wants me to do. He can't just get rid of me as I have been there for too long, and he can't sack me as I do my job properly and don't make mistakes. Therefore in order to get me to leave he has to make me quit. The easiest way to do this is to annoy me so much that I get fed up and leave.

Of course, now I've found this out it has had the completely opposite effect. Under NO circumstances will I be handing in my notice. Iain will be leaving the pub before I do!

I have, of course, told everyone in the pub about him trying to get me to quit, and I have produced slips with the brewery address, phone no, fax no & email address, which I and my friends are giving to customers so they can complain, and boy it seems they have a lot to complain about ...

Today I was working alone again as Stacey had phoned in sick but it didn't matter. Not sure whether it was me talking to the customers, or the fact that they are fed up with having to wait to be served and not being able to get food, but we had very few customers. At one point there were no more than about 30 people, and that was in the the middle of one of the football games! At this rate there'll be no customers soon so it won't matter if I'm working alone.
