Giving Notice
Posted by: Blog, Blog, BlogI’m leaving….yes, it’s true…after months of threatening to do it, pondering the right time, and generally just procrastinating because I hate telling people things they don’t want to hear, I have finally done it!!! I have given my notice at work, and will be a wife-who-helps-her-husband-with-the-family-business/mom-who-can-now-attend-school-parties-and-pick-kids-up-from-school. I am excited, and also a little nervous. Those of you that know me, know that this was attempted once before, when I was laid off from my previous job (those BASTARDS!!! I still miss them…tear) As great as it sounded, and as much as I was looking forward to it at the time, I proved to be less than valuable in that position…whether it was the loneliness during the day, the general dislike of cleaning house, or the strange, at-loose-ends feeling I had due to NOT having a schedule to stick to for once in my life, I couldn’t seem to hack it and ended up coming back to work. Well, if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again, right? So here we go again…
My experience at my current job has been good and bad, as is the case for most, if not all jobs out there. I have compiled a list of things that I will miss from this job, and a list of things that I will definitely NOT miss:
THINGS I WILL MISS:
- Shells and KC…you guys are great pals and have made this place fun, no matter what ridiculously mundane task I was required to perform, day in and day out…I will miss our lunches, our IM conversations, and just knowing that you were THERE, in the same building, should I need anything. You guys are what has kept me here this long, and I will miss you terribly.
- Daily emails with other pals. I love the email chains that go on and on and on (and ON). I will be giving my home email address to you all, and expect to be included in at least a few conversations…I will be checking!
- My discount…tear…I suppose I will return to being a Kohl’s shopper now..
- Most of my team members. They really are some funny ladies, and I will miss the day-to-day banter.
I’m sure there must be more than 4 things that I will miss, right? I will probably think of them as I go along. As for now, it’s time for
:
THINGS I WILL DEFINITELY NOT MISS:
1. The nose honker…seriously, there is a guy who sits several rows over from me, who blows the heck out of his nose, LOUDLY, at least six times a day. Yes, I have counted. Those are the types of blows that should be taken into a private room and done alone….
2. The mindless activities I am given: cleaning out sample rooms, hanging clothes, bagging clothes, sorting clothes, cutting swatches of clothes, making color copies, data entry, and various other tasks that are obviously CRUCIAL “pieces of the puzzle”. Please, if I’m not going to use my brain on a daily basis, why should I get out of bed?
3. The alarm going off at 5:45 every morning!!
4. The panic over what to wear…10 minutes before I should leave the house (which ends up being 30 minutes before I actually leave the house). Yes, my daily uniform now will consist of a t-shirt, yoga pants, and flip flops. Try not to hate me…
So, as you can probably tell as of now, my feelings are all over the board. I’m nervous, because I have failed before, I’m excited, because I’m getting a second shot at it, and maybe the second time will prove to be the charm, and I’m a little overwhelmed, thinking of how much my life is going to change….Wish me luck! I will keep you posted!!
