Feeling a bit better..
Friday September 3rd, 2010
Started my morning with some mental preparation. Today was finally the day I would quit the Movies. I went to Tilly’s to check my schedule first. The first thing someone said to me was :
“What’s up employee of the month?!”
And I was like wtf?! So Then everyone told me I got employee of the month. :D Hallah. Went to the back room to check my schedule. Came out to tell Vanessa about me quitting and she told me that if I can open my availabilities up, I should do it soon becuase they’re looking for a new Lead. Hrmms.. So I’m pretty happy about that. Walked over to the theaters and went into Sholan’s office.
I basically told her that the only thing that was keeping me from being happy there was that after 3 months, they never changed my APPROVED availabilities. Then we just lingered on about the topic. She understood, and told me I should write a two weeks notice, and date it from 2 weeks ago. She told me I’m leaving on good terms, so I can come back or still use the place as a reference.
Got out, and went with Jayna and Emma to KB Books to buy our ASL books. So much cheaper there! Pretty happy with that. Went to Mesa to buy the DVD we need, but the bookstore was closed. We went to get Jenny, and ate lunch at Costco.
They took me to work at 4, and I begain my half shift. Things went okay. It was actually a really boring shift. Before I left though, Kristin asked if I can open my availabilities, but in a “Joking, but I mean it” kinda way. So thoughts still linger in my head..
I left to meet Rudie and Lorraine. Rudie and I went to Denny’s for our meeting. I think that we have a great core team. Not chus it’s us six, and how experienced we are, But because tonight I got a chance to listen to each of our goals, ideas, and thoughts, and it feels good how we are all there to simply help and provide. To see 6 people get together and care for something that is not necessarily in our control makes me excited for the upcoming year. Working with these five will definitely being a good experience.
Tonight I came home with reassurance. Honestly, I lost some, but I earned some. Things are only going to get harder from here, most def. But I need to do what I want to do.
What do I want to do?
- Have a successful first semester of College.
The company, the courses are already checked off. But my attempts, and efforts needs to be consistant.
- Continue to grow with my career.
I honestly plan on staying with Tilly’s for a while. It’s something that I love doing, so why the hell not?! Being told I’m “Good” at what I do only provides me more confidence. Who knows what offers I’ll get. But for now, I’m staying humble, and just continuing to work extremely hard.
-Being committed.
An online course is hard. I hate self teaching. But hey, it was the only way it can fit my schedule.
- Being more time efficient.
Become better at scheduling. Put the most important events up front, no matter. Be mature, and think as an adult. Horray for my planner!
- Don’t become a workaholic.
Remember you have a life as well. Everyone deserves a little time to enjoy others company.
There’s a lot of self improvment I need to do. I’m currently in the process. But these are to better myself, and only myself. I’m just tryna set myself in a better direction then I’ve been leading myself.
The beginning of September. I have a lot of plans for this month. We’ll see how I put through with it.
Good night all.
P.S. I miss you friends.. :’[
