It wasn’t as dramatic or interesting as I’d have liked it to be, but I did it!
I had a trial shift at a new place in a different industry a few days ago, and it went really well but I didn’t hear from them. Today I went into my now-old job 2 hours early by accident, and my boss refused to send my coworker home so I could stay (for reference: I can’t drive so I walk everywhere, and it’s snowing severely and super icy in my area) so I walked/slipped to a nearby park, where I texted the person who scheduled my trial shift at the new place.
Lo’ and behold, they offered me the position! So I walked right back to my old job, gently placed my key on the counter, and said “if I don’t do this right now, I’m going to walk in front of a bus.” Which was the truth, hate to say it. It wasn’t the triumphant and dramatic moment I wanted before, but I did what I needed to do for my mental health while having a new thing lined up.
I will not be deleting this post! (: nobody can get mad at me or fire me for this post and that’s AMAZING I’m finally FREE!!! I’ve been dancing in my house for the last three hours because I feel so light! I have one week until my new job starts which is my longest “vacation” since high school, and I’m going to wnjoy the fuck out of it so I can go to my better paying new job full of people who like me refreshed and ready! Fuck this capitalistic hellscape!!!!
