bryan said i look like a cocktail waitress with the bow on this dress, and wouldn't let me wear it into work like this, so keep in mind that the bow was a photos-only accessory. i talked a little bit about leaving my job a couple of weeks ago, and friday was the day i had planned to give my two weeks. i don't know how y'all deal with leaving jobs, but i've always had a really difficult time doing it - even when the job was horrible! in high school, instead of just quitting like a normal person, i typed out very detailed resignation letters, signed my name at the bottom, and mailed it in. you can imagine how worried i was about the discussion; i planned out my "speech" a week in advance, and practiced it with bryan over and over again. this is going to show you how nutty i am, but i made him respond with a variety of different emotions. for example, i had him be as mean as possible to me when we practiced "the talk", then he'd pretend like he was trying to convince me to stay at the job, et cetera.
i was super nervous from the time i came back from lunch until the time i planned to go into my bosses office (when, you ask? 4p.m. on the dot.) and kept checking the clock every 5 mintues. i had one major goal: not to cry. anyone who knows me knows that i cry at the drop of a hat. whenever i'm angry, i usually don't yell - i cry. when i'm frustrated with tons of homework, or when the dogs do something super naughty (like open up one of the cabinets and tear apart all the food that was inside), i cry. so, of course, the second i start talking i begin to tear up. my boss actually took it very well; he wants me to work part-time for a bit, and i told him i'd think about it over the weekend. i knew then and there that i wasn't going to accept, but i think it made him feel like i was very certain about my decision.
july 9th will be my last day here! i am so excited about the prospect of free time, running in the mornings, eating popsicles all day, and finally being able to clean my house from top to bottom.
anyone have any good/bad/interesting quitting-you-job stories? i'd love to hear them!
