I just logged onto my myspace and found a message waiting for me from a girl that I worked with at my old club. She was a bartender, and I considered her a friend. Not to mention that I kind of liked her....in the more than a friend sense.
But anyway, here's the situation. A few weeks before I left the club(I found out I was pregnant) back in June, she had lost a pair of diamond earrings. It was a Saturday night that she lost them, and I was due in on that Sunday to open the club. When I got there I talked to my boss(the owner) and he told me what happened, and asked me if I had seen them. I told him that I had saw them sitting on the counter in the dressing room the night before, but when I was in the dressing room getting ready that day, there was nothing there. I even went and checked again, just to make sure.
So after I got done talking to my boss, I went outside and called her to tell her what I had told my boss. I felt bad for her because she told me that these earrings were special to her. I also told her that I would keep a look out if I saw them.
So now, fast forward to this morning. I just get up and log onto myspace, and find a message from her telling me that she is "pretty sure I'm the one who took her earrings, and karma is a bitch." Those were her exact words.
I'm really upset about this now. Not just pissed off though, like I'm actually near tears sitting here and typing this. I'm pissed though that she is waiting damn near 10 months to ask me about it when all she had to do was call me, it's not like I dropped off the face of the earth. The club even called a few months after my hiatus to come back to work for one night. I'm also pissed that I'm sitting here taking the fall, in her eyes, for someone else....and if I ever find out who did it, well I don't want to be them.
So now what do I do?
She used to date the owner's son, who is a manager at the club. They are no longer together though. I'm planning on calling there tonight to talk to one of them, if not both of them about this situation. I've seen them a few times since leaving, and not one person has asked me about this. As a matter of fact, the owner really wants me to come back to work....which I was planning on returning in April or May.
Out of all the places I've worked in the last 10 years, I really, really loved it there and it's really upsetting me about this right now. I planned on going back when I left, so why in hell would I screw that up?
I also understand where she's coming from about this too, because I had the same thing happen to me a long time ago at a club I worked at. A girl I worked with stole a diamond ring from me. I even knew who did it too. But that's beside the point. This is one of my pet peeves....Don't touch other people's shit!! I can't even begin tell you how much I hate it.
So any advice would be so welcome right now.
Thanx
