I (A)M

i quit my job

it’s a weird feeling
it’s like, letting go of the heaviest burden on your shoulders
it’s like the sun came out and the rain is gone (literally)

i have a love-hate relationship with my job. this isn’t like some cool awesome job, it’s just a part-time retail job at one of the most horrible corporations in the world.

i love my job because i like the people that work there with me, excluding all the managers, everyone’s nice interesting and sometimes we go drinking together on weekends or see movies together.

i hate my job because of the managers and no other reason. I used to find some of the customers hard to deal with, but I don’t think like that anymore.

i was on vacation for a month and a lot of things came up in my life that had to be dealt with. It required all of my attention and therefore being at work was a little bit unrealistic. I have worked there for … 6 years! SIX YEARS! i am good at what I do because as long as you’re not stupid it’s impossible to be bad at it. And if you’re wondering if there are people at work who are bad at it, yes there are, they get paid more than everyone else.

that being said, it’s a fairly easy job and yeah the managers are crazy, and self-obsessed but it’s like that with a lot of retail jobs.

I had to deal with all these other things that are happening, to be honest I really just wanted to quit but I felt like it was inappropriate especially with the xmas season coming up. So I told them I need November off so that I can come back in December when it got really busy. They flat out said No, so I had to quit.

I’m not sad about it at all
and as I drove home it got better, everything got better.

I don’t know why I didn’t quit earlier. It’s the most obvious thing to do.

When someone’s not nice to you, when someone’s not treating you properly, it’s time to say good bye.

i think a lot of stuff i could understand and deal with but when you just treat people without respect and the rules differ depending on the person, yeah hell NO.

but i DID forget my laptop chord at my friend’s house so i’m uneasy now…so little battery life left…
