I was fired from Fresh side yesterday. Can't really say I'm too upset about this, nor surprised. I've wanted to quite for nearly half a year now but didn't have the balls or the back up job to actually do this. So I just stopped trying.
It's just, when I get right down to it, all the people that had made that job enjoyable for me were no longer there and the new staff, while nice people, did not make it as fun as it used to be. And I knew when I started working there that if it wasn't for these people I would not want to stick around for the insane lunch and dinner rushes, the dirty dish water(seriously! the skin on my arms are breaking out), and the mind numbing prep-work. And I was right.
I was actually ecstatic when they let me go yesterday. I tried not to let it show when I left and spent the rest of the day not giving myself a second to be sad about this. Hanna and I went to the mall, watched people play Exhalted, hung out with Nancy, Dean, and Seth, then later we all went to Tony's house and played with his snake Rasputin. :D It was a pretty alright day.
The only reason I feel bad about this is for the same reason I feel bad when I don't stick with something. But I've been there for nearly two and a half years, I've stuck with it and now I'm done.
I walked out of that restaurant feeling like the world was brand new, and you know what man? It fucking is. I have more time to work on my portfolio and maybe look for a job where I don't have to move like a rocket just to make someone happy.
Go find your happiness guys, I'm out.
fresh side,
fired,
happiness
