freedom
I quit my job!!! Never thought I would do, but I finally said that's enought and quit. I talked to my bosses boss yesterday and it got me totally nowhere, except someone else being "disappointed" in me. I thought about it that morning and decided there was nothing positive coming from that place of employment any longer. It sucks having to leave a job you totally love because some people don't know how to treat their hardworking employees with respect. After being told I was jeopardizing leaving the store in good standing and not having a positive recommendation, I thought why am I here when it is affecting me so adversely. I went to my boss and told her that work is affecting school and right now I need to worry about graduating and my decision was to leave. Her reaction was as expected, very selfish and only concerned with what happens to her now. I just looked at her with a straight face as she claimed she didn't understand me or why I was doing this. I thought it was pretty obvious, you treat someone like crap long enough and they are going to get sick of it and leave. I feel bad for Kim, because the got her that job and we had a blast working together, and I hate leaving my replacement, Amber, who is also a friend in the situation of having to be trained by someone who doesn't know crap about the position. But I am very proud of myself and I'm going to love these next six weeks without having something as dumb as a college bookstore job affecting every aspect of my job. I'll be able to study like crazy, workout everyday (which has been a long unachieved goal of mine), and hangout and have fun. I've put myself first and it had to be done.
