Today is a day that makes one wonder if there is really a point.  I guess my secret is out.  I got shuffled out the door with two weeks off from work.  Most would be okay with that but, oddly, I would have appreciated being able to tell my friends and coworkers good-bye and the truth in regards to what was actually going on.  Having supervisors hovering over my desk while I packed up my stuff was rather pleasant, and childish.  Especially when they questioned if they could “trust” me.  News flash, I have much bigger things in my life to worry about than screwing over my employer and if I wanted to do that, I would have done it before turning in my notice in because I’m a lot more intelligent than you give me credit for.  I was just trying to be respectable and I’m sure that I’m the only one that feels tore up about everything.  It is always a great feeling when, after putting in seven years of your life, you’re treated with with zero respect because you’ve decided it was time for a change.  I really have a lot to say regarding this, but I guess at this point it doesn’t matter.  Time to pick up the pieces and move on.  I guess this is another lesson in the “kick you while you’re down” category.  I’ll be more than willing to share the whole store at the next FAC where “everyone goes to complain about the supervisors”.  People are so shallow.

As I sit here and feel rapped and violated, there’s much more important things happening in this world than how your employer treats you.  All my sympathy goes out to a good friend today.   There’s so many things people tell you when they’re not sitting in your shoes, and the reality is that some times that only makes things more difficult to comprehend.  Good memories of the past can be uplifting in times of sorrow.  Although the skies can seem completely clouded and gray with no break in sight, and your world feels completely turned around, there is always a friend that cares near by.  If you need anything, let me know.
