This is something I wrote one of my co-workers explaining my situation. I took a few things out and added a couple things that just recently happened. I put in my two week notice to Linens N Things yesterday. Everyone was quite shocked. Here goes... I wasn't planning on leaving anytime soon, but there's just too much coming up in my life and I need a more set schedule. And making a little more will help. Here are my reasons for leaving, they may be dumb, but here goes...
Have to help and deal with my sister moving out. I am pretty close to her, way more than with my brother. I know she's only moving to plymouth, but it's still going to be hard not seeing her at home and having to deal with being the only child at home. I will be working with her so that I suppose will help a little. Secondly, there have been rumors going around in my family that my brother may get married this summer. He hasn't asked her yet, but it may come. So I will have to be dealing with his wedding and one of my friends weddings. A wedding is a big step for my brother, I mean come on he's 28 years old, he should be married, especially since he's been with her for like 8 years. It's about time. But it also just makes me feel like I am alone, because there getting older and my sister is moving on in her life in the way of moving out of the house, and my brother is moving in his life by finally getting married. And where am I moving in life? It doesn't seem like anywhere especially with the way school is going. Another thing is, is that now that my sister is moving out, my parents are really want to prepare the house to move because then they really have a reason to sell it. They have been thinking about it for over a year now and have been doing slow changes to it, and I think this summer will be the time for major changes to the house, so then I will have to deal with preparing for a possible move. And where do they want to move? I have no idea. Another reason is the fact that I am still doing bad in school, well at least just chemistry. I felt like I just studied and studied and studied and it did me no good because none of it was on the test. I just need to get a little more focus on school than work. My last reason is because of Adam. We've gotten in so many arguements about my schedule. Him and my last boyfriend have complained how they feel like they have to always work around my schedule and how frusterating it is. And yes I understand why they feel that way. I really don't want to screw things up with Adam. I really feel like he is the one, whether anyone believes me, or not. I know he wouldn't break up with me just because of the scheduling issues, that would be really dumb and he's not like that. I was talking to him about it today and he was trying to tell me not to quit because he felt like he had something to do with it, which I suppose is partially true because it's one of 5 reasons. I just feel like with everything that is going to be coming up, I need to have a more set schedule in which I know what I will be working every week. So I can actually plan things out better and prepare for things easier, and Linens N Things can not provide me with that. I'm still going to be around to visit. I really caught everyone off guard with my two week notice, but they understand. I do need to set my priorities and they know and understand that. My last day is going to be on Thursday March 23rd if they schedule me on that day. Hope this explained it, sorry it's so long, but you asked for it! :)
Another thing to add to that list is I just found out that Jen and her boyfriend were picking out engagement rings and wedding rings. He hasn't proposed yet, but they have the ones picked out. So Jen will be getting married. I am not supposed to say anything to my parents, so that will be interesting when she tells them. And then tonight at work, my GM asked me what I wanted as far as a schedule, and I said I wasn't too sure on anything yet, I am still trying to figure that out. And I pretty much told her, that I don't want to work just nights, which I have been doing. I want to work more days, and I know I have school, but still, work around it. I told her I would get back to her, but I don't think I'm going to stay.
So these are the things going on in my life, and I feel quite stressed about it. But oh well, life goes on.
