Its been three years since I officially quit Spot. I left because I went back to school and told myself if I missed any assignments I would quit. lo and behold I missed one, small, 5 pt assignment and immediately went to put in my 2 weeks. they convinced me to do LOA instead, but I ended up quitting anyways.
since Spot I've...
... broken my leg, rendering me crutchbound for 6 weeks, then cane bound for another 6 months, and to this day can't stand for very long some days.
... graduated college with honors.
... went to Japan for two weeks after graduation, eating nothing but noodles and ice cream and petting deer and seeing mt Fuji and doing all the things I dreamed of since I was a child.
... got an office job in my field, in a place that doesn't make me contemplate killing myself daily, making double what I made at spot when I quit ($10 and change vs $20) for a steady 40 hours a week, plus vacation, sick leave, and full health insurance.
... fell in love, thanks to being able to date because I wasn't working every single night
I'm currently chilling on my couch, in the house I share with my girlfriend. I am typing this on my phone that I was able to pay for with my extra income and not working paycheck to paycheck anymore. soon my girlfriend is going to make me dinner, and I'm going to be able to enjoy it without having to go to bed early to wake up for signing, or shoving a microwave meal in my mouth before running to bed to hopefully get a few hours sleep between clopens. the only downside? I stopped losing weight because I'm no longer subsiding entirely on Lean Cuisine, diet coke, and cigarettes
this isn't a gloat post (well a little). I was so scared to leave Target. but I promise, THE GRASS IS GREENER! you can do it. the first step is always the hardest.
