Leaving "Home"

[PinkyBrain]

For the past couple of years, I've been volunteering at a charity shop. Over that time, I've gone from a basic volunteer, all the way to team leader. I knew nothing when I started, and now frequently run the store on the manager's days off.

Now I'm moving to a different store with the same company as a paid job and I must admit, I feel a pang of sadness at leaving. I always knew there was no chance of getting a paid position in this store but leaving behind the people who taught me everything I know feels a shame.

So used to seeing them all everyday.

And now I'm off to run my own store. Feels very strange.

Congrats on a paid job and your own store. You must have impressed people with your work ethic and willingness to take on additional responsibilities.

You are going to totally rock your new store, and you can always stop at your first store to visit.

I feel like my store is my home. ;-; Even when I graduate from college and have new opportunities, it'll be hard to leave. It was my first job and I feel like they are my family. Plus I love my employee discount.

PinkyBrain! You'll do great in your own store, and as Slave to the Phone says, you can always stop in "home" for a visit.
