wow
I quit from Victoria's Secret today. I was way too stressed there, and for not enough pay. They also changed my hours from week to week, and expected me to leave my on-call hours available without getting compensated for leaving them open. Plus, finals week is next week and they scheduled me for some really heinous times. So I just went in today, expecting to have one last shift, and told them that I quit, and that i wasn't giving a two-week notice. They said that if I did that, I would not be rehireable at any Limited Corp. store (Limited, Express, Express Men's, Bath and Body Works). I had to think about that for a bit, then said to myself "you know what? FUCK this company! Next year I'll get a job somewhere where I don't get shitty pay for hard work, and after that, I won't have to THINK about working retail because I'll have a degree."
Still, I felt bad about leaving them in the lurch like I did. I wish I could call them and just be like, "Hey sorry about having to quit there and leave you needing to get my shifts covered. I'm going to KICK ASS on these finals, though. I appreciate the time I've been able to spend with you here and the things I've been able to learn working here."
I still have my Teuscher job, and I'm going to see about getting some more hours there. It should be OK, since now my schedule availability won't be changing every week.
Speaking of Teuscher, my manager there, Markus, got into a car accident. He was sitting at the stop light and got hit by some hit-and-run girl. He was in the hospital for a few days, and evidently there was some spinal bruising or something. SO scary. It could have been any one of us. I hope he recovers quickly and completely.
And now for even sadder news, I have finals on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of this coming week. I LOVE the way they happened to be spaced out. Its perfect because I'll be able to get one solid day of studying in before each final, which really is the way I study best. Everything sticks that way in my head, and the diagrams and such are so fresh they're sorta imprinted in my mind. Tonight I plan to take a practice exam for finals totally blind, and see what topics I need to work on. Hopefully i can get melissa or wesley to correct it for me, so I can see what problems I got wrong without seeing the correct answers. then I'll be able to take it again. Supposedly the head TA for physics is going to post/send another practice exam. I'm SO going to study my little head off tomorrow, and i"m going to ACE this exam. That's right! ACE!
Wish me luck, everyone! Everyone who had the time and gall to approach this solid block of text called an entry, that is.
