De-stress, then think about where you'll go next.My Writing Blog -Updated 05/06/2013
It's so I can get ideas out of my head, I decided to put it in a blog in case people are bored or are curious as to the (many) things in progress.

I've done it, best thing I ever did. Right before Christmas and left my ex " colleagues" up poop creek without a paddle. Hope it doesn't sound like I'm bragging but ime you can only put up with do much before you have to do it.
Good luck simplyanother

Now, I'm singing, ....take this job and shove it....
Great. It's competing in my head with a bunch of other songs.
I don't think it's sunk in completely. I think, had the job not sucked, had I got more hours, had they not treated my like I was an idiot, I might have been able to make it through that day, but, it wasn't. Six years, I was there. I started when my youngest kid was just over a year old. Before my oldest started Kindergarten. It's all the boys have known, Mommy working at Glitter Hell. Or, as my oldest put it "Where Creativity Goes to Die".
I wish I could have walked out in a more epic manner. I quit midshift. Because of a backache, and a bitchy manager. Hell, I quit mid transaction.you are = you're. not "your".

Quoth RealUnimportant View PostThat sounds pretty damn epic to me!
I only ever did that once - just walked out - have to say, heck did it feel good!
(especially the bit where they asked 'Where are you going?' and I just said 'Home'.. they were all 'You can't just walk out!'
And the feeling I got as I called back over my shoulder, 'Watch me!' was wonderful..... )Engaged to the sweet Mytical He is my Black Dragon (and yes, a good one) strong, protective, the guardian. I am his Silver Dragon, always by his side, shining for him, cherishing him.

Yes, it was the name of an Angel, most popular boys name for decades...shout the abbreviated version of that name in any crowded place and half the men will turn around. heh.
I am fairly certain that the manager was not expecting a walkout. We got her around Christmastime. She really does seem to be working her hardest to get rid of most of the old crew, and replacing 'em all with people who will do it her way. She got her wish, in that regard, with me. In the past, I would have just cried, and sucked it up, and come in, and they would have shit on me some more.
TMI: But about 6 months ago, I started taking an anti depressant, and--among other things (like, holy crap, the will to live coming back)--I stopped crying all the time. Like, you know, omg, everything set me off. Big stuff, little stuff, all the stuff. And I can actually handle things that would have just knocked me on my ass. Granted, I'm not sure that just walking out counts as "handling" it, but, it sort of does, I guess. I am not freaking out. One of my sisters in law calls it "better living through chemistry", I definitely agree.
I know that other places have their issues, but if I am going to get another job in retail, I am going to get one closer to my home. I figure, if I'm only scheduled 3 freakin hours --at least I'm not just working to fill up my gas tank...so I can go to work...and fill up my gas tank.
Now, i'm babbling, sorry. hehyou are = you're. not "your".
