Freedom!

As of writing this blog post, I'm officially unemployed.

I quit my job today. Fall semester starts a week from Monday. I cannot feasibly work every evening and attend my night class(es). Not that it matters anyway, because they would have fired me anyway because I would have to take the night(s) off to go to class. My sister begrudgingly offered to work those night(s) for me. However, seeing as how she has a full time job already, I knew she didn't want to work even more.

I was originally intending to work this coming week, then quit, but my former boss pulled me over to the side the other night to tell me that I'm not "working fast enough." This struck a nerve because I was essentially doing two shifts of dishes in the time span of about three hours. Because they're two cheap to have a dishwasher there full-time, I have to wash the leftover dishes from the lunch rush as well as dishes that accumulated in the afternoons before I clocked in.

I'll miss the money, of course, but as Chewzer made a valid point earlier: The job wasn't worth it to begin with. I'll also miss a few of my co-workers.

Looks like I won't be getting that PS3 after all because I'll be using the remainder of my grant check to pay the bills until I get a new job. Hopefully it won't be too long. I know that I can pretty much get any job at the casino as soon as it becomes available (that I qualify for, of course). Let's just say that I have friends in high places. Or should I say, my sister has friends in high places.
