(no subject)
I'm seriously considering quitting my job at Kmart. Now, despite everything, I actually do enjoy it and most of the people I work with. I mean, I get paid to: fold clothes, organize clothes, unpack and sort clothes, unpack and sort infant stuff, and straighten infant stuff (probably my favorite part because baby stuff makes me happy and baby wipes -- never knew they smelled so good!). I know, it sounds boring. But it is kind of soothing and the fact that I do my job well and my bosses notice is very rewarding. However, there are a few big things that make me want to quit.
1.) I may not get the time off that I need for my ballet performance in Redding. I requested six days off so that I wouldn't have to drive back and forth. My main manager yesterday informed me that they usually only give a week off to someone who has worked there (part-time no less) for over a year. I told her I could give her times and that there were really only two main days I need the entire day off but still. I work 3 - 5 days a week, generally for only a four hour shift. It is NOT that hard to get someone to cover it, especially when there are at least three people who can and we never all work on the same days together. And I know they usually want the extra hours.
2.) I will be leaving for graduate school mid-September. I will have to quit at least by then, but quite possibly earlier. My parents want to rent my room out, so I will, in all likelihood, need to be moved out by the beginning of August. You know, the whole time to move in before school starts and stuff.
I feel that if I put in my two weeks notice so that I end before my show in June, I could go home and work through the entire summer, right up until I leave. That would leave my room open and I'll get the most out of my time. If I try to look for a job that I would only be in for a month and a half once I move out of my place in Chico ... well, I would probably just have a wasted month where I don't make any money that I desperately need. Blah. Maybe it'd be easier if I hated my job.
