Jefferson Mall can suck my ovaries.
So, the store was cleaned out yesterday; emptied of all evidence that we were even there in the first place, except for the "carlton cards" sign above where the registers were and outside the store itself. Everyone else had gotten there around 9am but I wasn't able to show up until 4pm, when I was done with school. They kept their word and saved me some "heavy" things and also some breakables, but I'm not so sure that was intentional.
When business had been taken care of there, we all went out to eat at Frisch's, which was around 6:30 by then. It was fun...we had a lot of laughs...and a lot of tears when it was time to leave. It was really sad... I'm still really sad and will be for a while. It still just doesn't seem possible that I will NEVER be going back there ever again, or not seeing them everyday to every other day. Krista was saying that we should all get together every other month or just whenever everyone could. I really hope we do, and that everyone would be willing and able to do that. The past month has been difficult in many respects, but it also has been one of the greatest. I've had more fun there with everyone in that month than I'd had the entire time I'd worked there (not that it wasn't fun before that, but I think I just opened up more and became more comfortable around everyone and wasn't as afraid to be myself).
Sandy (the manager at the store at Oxmoor where I plan on working) was helping with the cleanup process yesterday. She asked me when I was wanting to start working at her store, and I said probably the weekend of March 10th-- that'll give me almost 2 weeks off, just to relax and do stuff I wouldn't normally let myself have time for if I was working, or let myself do as much of; plus, I just don't want to immediately jump into something new so soon, so, I think Spring Break may be a good time to get started. I really hope I can "adjust" to Sandy--at the store yesterday evening, she seemed kind of...intimidating, but I don't know what other word would be more appropriate. She seems so much different from Dolly, and I really liked Dolly and got along so well with her, always looked forward to working with her... but Dolly doesn't seem to think I'll have any issues getting along with Sandy, so I hope she's right.
So here's what I hope to accomplish, so far, at some point within the next 2 weeks:
-traffic school
-renew my license
-sleep more
-study more
-watch the movies I have that still have the plastic shrinkwrap on them
-spend more time with Bryon
-go for walks if the weather permits
