You can only now view this as an opportunity to finally be able to move forward with (hopefully) employment that will be more enjoyable than the last.

i'm sure i can find something i'll enjoy. thing is, i enjoyed what i was doing. i just hated going to work.

honestly, i'm good. and, i think, relieved. i know i'll be alright. if not, i'll come camp out on your doorstep. *grins*

Friends are generally welcome to visit, but sometimes a little advance warning it necessary. ;)

well, it would take me a couple of days to get there. i'd probably drive and all. you know, i haven't been up there since my grandmother died.

hmmmmm. *ponders a moment* no, it would have to wait until spring. so you're safe for now. ;p

Screw them. They don't deserve you, ldf. Good luck to have to train your replacement and see them quitting in a week so they'd have to start with a new one. And who exactly will be doing all the scanning and hanging signs in a mean time? They will try to push all work down on others and there will be a lot of stink.

They did you a favor, really. Would you quit by yourself? Probably not, or not soon. Just keep actively looking for a better job. Things will work out in the end.

*multiple hugs*

thanks for the hugs, hon. they are most appreciated.

i have to admit to a small bit of cattiness on my behalf. there isn't anyone in the store trained to do 'my job' at all. no one knows how to set and ad or take one off. no one knows how to get into the email box. no one knows how to do many of the things. there's one girl who can hang tags and perhaps apply batches. but i'm not sure if she can set an ad. nor have i seen her through the door before 7am on any given day. so.....

they'll deserve whatever they get. i believe alot of the coordinators working for the company are relatively new and have little to no experience. little to no training. and there's so much that needs to be done on any given day. it was me and one other girl. always. but everything was 'my responsibility' and.... well, i'm just plain assed tired.

no, i wouldn't have quit. too damn stubborn. so yes, they did me a favor. honestly, i'm good.

Hey, you are entitled to a little bit of cattiness. You'll see, they are going to make that girl who can do a part of it to do all of your job in addition to her own tasks. That should go well. Overall, poor leadership is a nightmare. It's sad to see when a supposed boss is unable to recognise who contributes what amount of work and get rid of key people. I bet you'll get an emergency call next week because they can't handle things.

Are you going to file for unemployment on Monday? It will take some time before money kicks in.

[ladydeathfaerie]

well, i'm considering all my options. if i can figure out where the unemployment office is, i'll go do that. *grins* never had to.

i've also had suggestions from friends and my mom as to what i could look at. i do have one full check and two hours coming to me, plus i should also have my vacation, which is just over two and a half weeks. so i'm okay. not desperate yet. i'm just not sure what i really want to do. i know i can go back to being a scan coordinator without trouble. places are always looking for them. dunno if my body is willing to go through that again. *shrugs* we'll see.
