I really don't want to to be up this early on a Saturday morning so I can go finish off my last couple of hours of work. I would much rather have stayed up way too late last night and been able to sleep it off this morning. I never work weekends so it throws the balance off a little bit.
But that's it. This morning I go off to the record store, finish training someone on how to do the morning deposit, then I'm out of there. No more. Done. Just about... 12 years of on-again-off-again indentured servitude to the piss end of the music industry. Yesterday I tied up some loose ends and said my goodbyes and all of that, and it made me sad to be leaving a place that's so familiar, all those familiar faces including my customers. I was filled sympathetic dread as I watched my bosses and some coworkers scrambling to get the holiday sections put together.
Time to move on. Maybe now I can start enjoying the holiday season, rather than facing it with a sense of loathing. If there's one thing that makes a person hate the holidays, it's working retail.
And maybe this time next year, I'll be here on this board talking about how awesome it's going to be meeting up with everyone at Turnmills. :D
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle
