quitting +hanging out +evil relatives = FREE?
For the first time ever, I have actually quit a job. Today, I gave my two weeks of notice at Dunkin' Donuts. I feel kind of bad, b/c I've been getting almost full-time hours lately, it's been so busy. And nobody is allowed to ask off any more vacation time in August, but here I am asking to leave a week into the month... but i'm not asking for vacation, or even a leave of absence. I am leaving, and not coming back. Not for Christmas, not next Summer. I first realized that I needed to get out when I woke up on Wednesday, wishing for the third day in a row that I would come down with a stomach flu and not have to go to work. I really, really hate throwing up, so I thought, "heck, this is crazy." Then, the mother of a girl I graduated with saw me wed. morning, wed. night, and then Thursday morning again and was like, "is this what your summer's been like? Just work and then more work?? You need to remember to take some time for yourself." At that point I realized that working twenty-hours a week, plus going to school full-time all through Winter semester (including finals), then coming home and diving straight into two jobs was crazy enough! Did I really need to go through with my plan of working an average of 50 hours a week all summer, then allowing myself "two days off" to pack, before flying out, setting up my new apartment, and then diving straight into **17** credits?? (18 with institute; that's the most credits any student is allowed to take without special permission). Anyway... I decided I didn't feel like getting an ulcer. So, Janet might hate me for it, but the 6th of August will have to be my last day. If she goes crazy or something, I'll just quit at the end of this week. But I don't expect her to go crazy, even if she does get a little annoyed.
But, anyway, sorry, I am just feeling so very FREE all of a sudden, that I cannot shut myself up. Two more 50-hour weeks, and then I'll just be working 15 hours/week at MB! Everyone - let me know if you want to hang out on any specific days during the last 2-1/2 weeks before I leave, b/c I can get off whatever time I want from MB.
In other news, my Uncle is an even bigger jerk than I ever realized. But it's prolly wrong to share the details in such a public fashion.
