Update on stuff...
The meh/bad:
Gave my two weeks notice on 2/9/16... I keep thinking I should have jut walked out considering what the schedule looks like for the next few shifts. I am stuck doing two shifts and closing all my remaining shifts except next Saturday when I'm doing two shifts but opening instead of closing. Even though I've said numerous times I can't and won't skip a class to cover a shift they still call and text even after I've said no, I can't do it. I hit my frustration limit after I got more than 10 calls and 3 texts asking about the same shift.
So bad crap done...
On to the good-maybe stuff...
I have this internship I need to do for school. I couldn't find a place that wanted an intern, it seems more than half the class had this issue but I think I not only got an internship but it could also lead to a paying job. It's not in the field I wanted but it's something that is closer to it than working retail.
If all goes right I'll be interning at Crunch Fitness in Poughkeepsie. I'm already a National Council on Strength and Fitness certified personal trainer so I have a bit of an advantage and add in my 22 years in sales and customer service... they said they like to put the interns they like on the payroll once the internship hours are up and being that I'm already certified it would be a great opportunity for me to get more hands on experience. I'm hoping something comes out of this...
School is challenging this semester but I've applied for graduation and transfers so it's coming together.
Not much else going on, trying to find time to do school work, write and keep up my work outs. Still waiting for winter, it's gotten cold but the snow is still lacking and without it we may be in for drought conditions this summer.
