Today was my last day working at the grocery store. I've been there for six years, but since I stepped down from management and became a part-timer last year I've been slowly pulling away from it on an emotional level. Which is maybe a weird thing to say about a job at a grocery store, but my job meant a lot to me. The company - or, more precisely, the leadership at my store - has been very good to me. I learned a lot from my old position in management, and my bosses have supported me personally and professionally every step of the way. Finally being officially out of retail is huge for me, and I'm thrilled, but it's a bittersweet kind of thrill.
Tomorrow morning nickelhusband and I are headed to Boston for a week of doing nothing in particular. He was there earlier this year for a conference, but I've never been before. The plan is to walk around a lot, look at some stuff, and eat at every vegan-friendly restaurant we can find. That's our all-purpose vacation plan, and it's worked perfectly everywhere we've been so far. I'm looking forward to it.
When we get back we'll have one-day guest pass tickets waiting for us to spend Sunday at Lollapalooza, courtesy of our friends who are playing there that afternoon. We're paying them back with dinner at our house. It's a win for us all the way around. They're some of my favorite people.
After that, I'll be starting my internship. The first two weeks are just training - I won't be seeing any clients until early September. But I'm not really thinking about that yet. I'm still processing leaving my job. No use piling on the anxiety just yet.
I'm slowly filling out the podfic meme paraka started a few days ago, but it may take awhile. I don't anticipate doing much on LJ while we're out of town. I'll check in here and at Twitter, but probably won't be too active.
Have a good week, everybody.
