I quit my job today. I had already given two weeks but was scheduled to work six more days. I had enough, I couldn't stand to think of working there any longer, standing for 8 hrs. straight, setting the stage for those nit-witted customers to spit out remarks like "staying out of trouble?", "are you working hard or hardly working" or the ever classic "paper or plastic?" reply "both" *insert insane amounts of inappropriate laughter*
I will not miss it but I did feel bad quitting. My manager sounded rather forlorn when I told him I could no longer stand it there. Perhaps he feels the same way but cannot escape the blue collar discount food store he has invested so much time in.
I sounded whinny when I spoke to him on he phone. Like a child confessing that they stole a candy bar but was trying to muster every excuse possible just so he could slide the blame onto something else. I actually said "I have high anxiety". Well, I do, but this is not the reason I quit. I feel embarrassed, but if all works out right these feelings will switch to relief soon. Maybe I should have done it in person. The phone is so dissconnected. I don't think I have enough balls to have done it in person.
