changes
so i realized..well i have realized it for a long time...that i need to make some major changes in my life. my horoscope even said so this morning, which is weird considering yesterday.
point blank... i fucking hate my job. it's not so much the waitressing (i'm not even really a waitress, but it feels like it) or customers, because i realize all jobs are the same. you're going to have bitchy customers and things go wrong. but it's the atmosphere, the people i work with, and i don't like coming home feeling run down every night and i don't like feeling as if i'm about to tear my hair out and cry every weekend ON the job. it's horrible, really. the day i worked the double, it was non-stop. i only got a 30 minute break. i never get breaks on weekdays (when you're actually supposed to, everyone else who works in the mall does, and their jobs are not half as stressful as mine) and working a double, which is basically 10am-10pm, only one lousy break. it's ridiculous.
BUT... my best friend stephanie told me that her place was hiring (sir pizza) and i've been in there before and it's not like chili's at all. it's different. i would be taking a major paycut (going from 7 to 5), but my tips would be nice. and as far as tips go, i'm putting an envelope in one of my drawers and just setting aside my tips so i can deposit them every week along with my check. at sir pizza, i would be paid every week. i went to sir pizza last night and got an interview on the spot. i'm giving chili's my two weeks notice today, calling sir pizza back tonight, and telling the manager i put it in and i'd be there in two weeks. i even made sure he wouldn't replace me in two weeks. i asked him, "even if i have to work there for two more weeks, that would be okay with you, right?" and he was like, "yes and if you need anymore hours, let me know, and i can schedule you some days in advance." so it's good news.
so that's change number one... i have to take some steps backwards before i can move forward.
