If you’ve read my site at all, even casually then you probably have gotten the gist that I’m not particularly crazy about my job or place of employment. Today marks my 11th year at the store and every year it has gotten a little worse to work there. When we were sold off in 1999 that was the start of the downhill decline and then when my boss disappeared a few years ago that was another blow not to mention the countless stupid things that have happened there in the last 7 years. I have no desire to go into any details here because I know for a fact I have in past posts and there is no need to regurgitate old shit that is over and done with. Besides, this post is a very happy post. Yes, I know that is a first… a happy post from a disgruntled human. Write it on your calendars, call Ripley’s because on March 15, 2006, it happened. I said I was happy. Deal with it fuckers.
As I mentioned a few minutes or hours ago, depending on your reading abilities, today was my 11-year anniversary at the store. However, that is not the cause for celebration… the cause for celebration is the fact that I gave my two weeks’ notice today. Yes, I ended my 11-year run at the store by giving my two weeks’ notice on my anniversary date. Doubtful anyone at work will get that significance but dammit, I do. My last day at this job, providing I don’t get extremely pissed off or am deemed a security risk and get walked off premises, will be March 31st. Oh yeah, that’s why he said a few days ago he couldn’t wait til then. Now you get it.
Onto the new job… it’s a low position working some data entry and accounting duties, but the place is a hell of a lot better than where I am at now. There is plenty room for advancement, and they will help you work towards your goals and reward you for making them. I will be doing schooling to attain an accounting degree and that will help me advance even further, plus I will get financial assistance from work for this schooling. Aside from the actual job aspect there is also the fact that there will only be a 2 mile drive versus the 16 mile drive I am currently making. Oh, did I mention that I won’t have to wear a shirt and a tie anymore? Well, I’ll still have to wear a shirt because I’m sure there’s some policy regarding that, and no one wants to see me bare skinned walking around work. Anyway, I could go on all day, but I already started online courses today and that is probably going to suck up most of my time now, at least my Wednesday’s and Friday’s.
