Let me start from when i woke up yesterday afternoon. (Aug 5th). I got ready for work and i was in the middle of brushing my teeth when my sis called me. This always puts a smile on my face, even if the smile came with a little tooth paste this time! It is amazing how close i feel to her now after not even seeing her for so long. I remember the last time she called, we talked from the time we said hello to goodbye like nonstop. This time wasnt any different. So that was a great start to my day. :)
Then i had to take my softball shirt to my old job (Eastern Regional Park) b/c my coach actually asked for it back this time lol. I think that one was like the 3rd one i got, so not much of a loss lol. But when i dropped it off, i had to leave it in the office and to do that, i had to talk to an old man for a while lol. Man named Jim, hes like 72. but he asked me all these questions about school and my recent job. Sometimes i miss working with a bunch of old guys but other times, when i think about it, im not always one for chatter and they like to do a lot of that!
So at work, as i was leaving, i actually had watery eyes. This guy Ron who works like right nexted to me everynight was saying goodbye to me and he kept saying aww and he had this look on his face that made me get all teary eyed lol. Didnt help that this other guy that i barely worked with over heard and was like, "nuh uh, tonight was ur last night? man, u cant leave, ur cool as shit" lol. Thought that was kinda funny. But Ron and I are always playing pranks on eachother and joking around. I really am going to miss him. I think of everyone there, i will miss him the most. But after the 15th or so hug...kinda lost count after a while lol, he gave me his number and we went to our cars. :(
Ive only been there for like 3 months but you get to the point where u feel as tho everyone generally cares about one another. May sound crazy but Ron was like a brother at work. Dont worry people, im not crying! lol i just get attached to people very easilly and i never do like saying goodbye. Reminds me of the time when my gym teacher from middle school decided to retire. OMG, i remember i took it so hard! LOL and it was my freakin gym teacher!!!!!! I know, im weird but i generally like people....a lot in some cases lol.
Everyone at work asked if i was coming back. It took everything in me not to say "HELL NO!" lol. I just kept asking everyone, if i was to come back next summer, will u be here. Its amazing how everyone had pretty much the same answer 'i hope not, we'll see'. I have talked to so many people there tho about looking into other jobs, Rite Aid might come after me! Find out all their employees are putting in their 2 weeks. Many people cant handle the hard work, over 100 degree temperature for 11 hours at a time. It is real tough at times but at least i can say i did it. I tried it, now its time for something different....next summer or even this winter i want to work someplace else.
Just 4 more days until my plane takes off for Cali. I really hope everything works out. I just want to have fun and make sure we get back ok. I just wish i felt better about everything.
Im tired, later...
