i'm a quitter
that's right. i quit.
i quit my job at the papery yesterday. it was harder than i thought it would be. i had decided at the end of november that i couldn't work there anymore. and since then, things had been a lot easier. i enjoyed work more because i knew that i wouldn't have to do it much longer. but when it came time to quit, it was hard to close this certain chapter in my life. i started working there in october of 2004. they were very good to me and honored a lot of my crazy scheduling requests. the owners of the store have treated me very well and i respect them a great deal.
but it was just time to say good-bye for a number of reasons. and when i actually did quit, it went much better than expected. i called the owner first because i wanted to be sure she knew that i did have high regard for her. it was important for me not to burn any bridges. and she was a lot more gracious than i expected her to be. she even told me to keep in mind a new store opening next year and i would basically be welcome there. (this is important because the main reason i'm quitting is because of something, er, um, someone specific at the princeton store.) then i had to tell the manager, which i was really nervous about. but she almost didn't react. just took what i said and was done. moved on. still in a good attitude. it was sort of strange. contrary to what i thought would happen. but really quite a wonderful blessing.
so, when i come back from christmas break, you can expect to hear about my new job hunt that will be commencing. i'm pretty sure i'm going to be looking for a restaurant job. something where i can keep more busy. meet a lot of new people. do something i feel i am good at. it's strange but i really do enjoy being a waitress/being part of a restaurant team. and, i would be remiss if i didn't mention that i expect to be paid better. restaurants in princeton are kind of expensive and that means bigger tips. not that that is the most important thing. really, the most important thing is that i feel my mental well-being will be much improved by a change of scenery.
thank you the papery for two years of retail immersion! hello new attitude of starting fresh!
