after my last post, i went into work with the acceptance of the low pay i was going to receive for my new promotion. low and behold, my boss told our r.m. (without me knowing) that it wasnt enough for me OR him. this morning i get a phone call with a new and improved pay rate that i am very happy with. maybe i can actually pay some debt off and save for our wedding? that would be a first.
lori's last day was yesterday. i spent as much time as i could by her side, enjoying her company. i have never felt such a feeling as i did yesterday giving her a hug goodbye and realizing i wasnt going to see her on a daily basis anymore. i became so close to her. we became more then co-workers, we were friends. i cried on my way home on the phone to chris, sobbing to him that im so foolish for crying over this. he told me everything will be ok, and that its all a part of life. i have never been so upset over losing a co-worker. im going to miss her more then tremendously.
right away this morning she called me at smiles just to bitch a little bit more and to remind me of why i enjoy her so much. it started my day off right. ha.
my time is now limited at smiles. as much as i complained about it here, it was a good ride. funny thing is, i had to call the madison office today and spoke with the manager there. she told me she was sad to see me go, because when i was here, she knew work would get done. wtf? makes me wonder what they think about mary. i havent quit a job in a long time, but it made me realize how i always feel like im an insufficient employee, until i give my notice. THEN, the compliments come out of the woodwork.
"thanks for all your hard work."
"we will miss you."
"you made a great impact on this company."
"come back whenever you like, we will be more then happy to hire you back on."
and so on and so forth..
alas, i will miss this tiny place in the middle of nowhere. good pay, and quiet time. fucked up computer invoicing system though. i refuse to use it the rest of my time here. i swear to this.
