Hasn't even been two weeks since I took an unapproved leave of absence from my job at hell-mart, and I'm already in my first week of training with a new one. Got the call to come in for an interview not 24 hours after I filled out the application. Explained to them that I've probably been terminated from my other job and they couldn't have cared less. My new job will be taking calls at a large outsource center for a cable company. Yes, still customer service, and I've heard all the call-center horror stories, but this one seems to have it's perks. And I am no longer at 'that' place, except for when I choose to go in as a regular customer. Two years of service and the only thing they can tell me is "You're terminated." What goes around comes around . . . but somehow hearing that was like beautiful music to my ears 
But I posted that long story in the 'shove this job up your . . .' thread.
Loving the new place so far. And oh yes, I wake up every morning and tell myself, well, first I tell myself "Ugh, too early. Can't function. Need coffee." And after that I say "You are no longer in retail!" Then I get my coffee and no longer grumble about the early hours. Everyone around me has said they definitely notice a change in my mood and I'm not the miserable grump that I've been for the past six months. It is absolutely wonderful. Still coming down off the surrealness of it all, lol.
