Bug-a-phobia? Lack of Mental Stimulation? Or Just That Time?
2/06/2007I gave my 2 weeks notice at my place of employment. Yes yes. I finally did it. I talked the talk for a minute or few, and then I decided that hey I won’t be a lazy bastard, I’ll walk. I handled it professionally- wrote a professionally vague letter of resignation (Ctrl C-n- V’ed it, ssshhhhh) stating that my last day would be June 15th.
At the end of my oh-so challenging day as a receptionist at this event production company, 2 members of the executive team asked to speak with me before I left for the day I thought. “Aaaaw we are sad to see you go” “So happy for you” “Wish you the best”- feces feces puke! I was polite during the meeting. Carried myself accordingly, but then BAM- they asked for me to not return. Whaaaattttt??? Ever.
This is what I’m sayin’:
To get to the nitty gritty, down-n- dirty rotten core reasons as to why I quit is as follows:
Dead palmetto bugs, rats, kamikaze termites (hundreds), gnats, and not being able to excute my privilege of being a 27 year old- Yeah people I still had to ask if I could get up and walk away from my desk. Even if I were hemorraging from my you know who*, I would still have to ask who could cover my desk. C’mon now. I don’t apologize, but if I were making a ton of dough there I would not be complaining ’bout it- I’d still have a gripe
It was a wonderful learning experience I will admit. Observing what goes on behind the scenes and brushing up on my skills as an ‘event producer’ was more than pleasureable. One should never underestimate the skills of the ones in the ‘weeeeee itty bitty’ ranks.
There are so many other reasons as to why I left, i.e: absolutely no premonition of advancement in the future; unwillingness to be flexible; office politicing like a mutha; just flat out borrrrring. I am a firm believer in being happy in the enviroments in which you spend most of your time. For 40 hours of the week and only making a licke bit of dough I expect to at least be ecstatic of walking in to a place that I just sat in an 1 hour, sometimes more, of traffic and at the end of the day feel a Hell Yeah. Who knows, maybe just that fact that so much more has been offered to me that it’s just that time.
Kinda sucks that the very last 2 week pay check I was planning on receiving isn’t going to come through. Oh well. I’m enthusied to see what the next few weeks entail! How does that saying go again? The most successful ones are the ones who keep their word. My word is HAPPY.
