I did something completely unexpected last night. I told a few people that I was thinking about quitting soon.
You know in movies and such, when people receive bad news and they do the whole 'stand back, jaw drop and eye bulge' thing? Yeah, uh.. that was the reaction I got.
Josh almost cried then and there. He spent the rest of the night literally begging me not to go, and telling me how I'm like an older brother to him.
;_;!!
Once my boss found out, she offered me a pay increase. Sounds good, right? The pay increase is to roughly $10 an hour. Crappy, but it's a massive increase from $0 an hour.
Funny thing is, even if I did take her offer, it wouldn't go down to well. To sum it up as easily as I can, my boss is trying to cut back on people's hours, thereby saving the store money. If I start getting paid hourly, she'd have to cut other peoples hours back even more than she already is. Alternatively, she could, and probably will, give me less hours.
So it's basically a lose-lose situation.
I told her I'd think about it, because I feel really bad telling people I'm gonna be leaving them. I never realised how much they all loved me. ;_;
Then again, money isn't the main reason that I want to quit. It's the sharp decline in my general health. I told Josh about it, and then while I was on a delivery, he made the healthiest pizza possible for me to eat when I got back. He's such a good guy! ; ;
Ugh.. it's feels like I'm trying to break up with someone I still care about.
