It's Go Time Again

Here We Go Again

I gave my two weeks' notice at my current job and my last day will be February 4th. I already have a job lined up and waiting for me so here I go again. Learning new ways to do things. It is retail, so dealing with customers (which I don’t mind). I’m thinking of a lot of stocking shelves also. This job I’m hoping with be less drama filled than my last one. There are only two people working at a time so hopefully we will be too busy to care about anything except getting the duties done that are required for that day.

Day One Again

Starting over is what I do lately. Being at a job you have no desire to be at is draining. At times it will be ok, but in the long run I know it is not for me. Live and learn. It was one of my life experiences I was supposed to go through, so I deal with it and move on. Being 63, I need to work at a place I don’t mind going into. Let’s find out if this next job measures up. The jury is out, and I will keep you all posted. 

It Isn't Easy

Giving two weeks' notice is hard at any job. Some people don’t take it well. Others don’t care. It’s an iffy situation. I remember one job I had a few years back, I gave my two weeks' notice and worked with hostile people for the two weeks I had to be there. It wasn’t fun. They all acted like I did it on purpose to screw up their lives. No one took into consideration the fact I was bettering myself. Seems nowadays people only think about themselves. What’s good for them. How will this affect them? Does this in any way make their lives more difficult? Self-centered people, they are in abundance. Scattering the earth with their insidious ways. Making things more challenging than they should be. Try kindness for a change. It will enlighten your life. Be positive and forthright. Forget about vengeance and spite.

What Stress

Leaving one job and heading off to another can be stressful. If you let it be. Try thinking about it in a pragmatic way. Your first day you will form an opinion, you will be learning every day. Your brain will be working, as well as your body. Give it at least a week and then see how you feel. Is this something you can do daily? Do you love this job? Jump off the cliff and fly, don’t fall to the earth with broken wings. Soar up to the clouds, show them your best side. Be personable, courteous and friendly. Wish everyone a good day. Have a smile on your face (not all the time people may think you’re an idiot). Pardon the term. But nobody smiles all the time. The customer is always right, until they aren’t. Stand up for yourself but come across as friendly and willing to compromise. Always a good thing especially in the workplace. 

I’ll have an update in a month or so. Until then wish me luck. Starting over is never easy. Especially at my age.

Smile, even when you don’t want to.
