Well, I quit my job today. Yes, I am finally free. I thought I'd be more upset than I am. I mean, I am going to miss it to a point, but mostly just dog training. I can always try and training again at some point later in my life. I was going to try and see if I could maybe stick it out there, but I was late Saturday. Okay, Shelly has NEVER written up someone for being late. EVER. Not even Jen the other day, she was a no call no show and didn't get written up. So when I, the one who is almost never late, shows up late and I am already fighting for my job and have four write ups she writes me up. She wanted me gone. So, I call today and quit and here is our phone conversation.
-Me: Hey, Shelly. I have to be at my other job tomorrow and I'm supposed to work Petco tomorrow so I'm not going to be able to make it. And It'd probably be better right now if I just quit, so I quit.
-Shelly: Why didn't you tell me this last night, you are messing up my whole schedule. You're going to put your new job over us?
-Me: Well, my new job is not about to fire me. Shelly I have a household to support, and bills to pay. I have to do what I have to do. If I need to be there tomorrow, I got to be there. They are the ones that are interested in my employment.
-Shelly: Well how do you know for sure you are getting fired?
-Me: Lets face it Shelly, I have more than the limit of write ups, you have been trying to get rid of me for a while (She tries to interrupt but I talk over her.) and I have no doubt that I will be fired. I'm doing it for you.
-Shelly: You still need to come in the rest of the week and finish out your schedule.
-Me: I can't.
Shelly: Alright, well I need some type of document saying that you are quitting.
So I said okay, and we hung up. I then sent out a text to all my friends that work there telling them that I quit but still wanted to keep in touch. Greg, the only manager I liked, texted me back and asked what happened and everything. I told him and then he told me "I'm glad you quit, Shelly started calling people to pick up the rest of your shifts yesterday. They were going to fire you when you came in tomorrow. Least you quit before they could." That bitch wasn't going to let me work tomorrow anyway, or the rest of my shifts. She just wanted me to come in so she could fire me. She is such a passive aggressive two-faced lying bitch! Pardon my language. That's okay, I am done with her and I am done with that job. Well, when they give me the rest of my money that is.
I thought I would be more upset about not working at Petco, but I'm really not. I'm relieved. It's strange. I feel free.
I have a job interview with Walmart tomorrow. It'd not for the over night stock, it's for the deli. Which actually might be better, I won't have to work over night and it's better pay. They are interested in me for that department because of my experience at Story's Grocery. They called and checked my reference with Mrs. Mary, and I guess she gave them a good one. It doesn't sound as glamors as Petco, but it'll be better than Petco.
How is everyone??
