The countdown is on

Published by User Image Kim at 3:24 pm under family, work

Well, after almost seven years at my place of employement in just five short days I will be finished. I have decided to take a little time off (especially the summer) so I can devote more time to spending time with my family. It was an extremely difficult decision to make as I have been there for a very long time. I am a waitress at a very busy family restaurant, and I have met and got to know a lot of wonderful people during my time there. When I finally made my decision and told my boss of my choice to leave, I was a little sad. But, as the day of leaving fast approaches, it does get harder each day. Last night, I told four different customers of my decision and two of them want me to let them know if I end up going anywhere else so they can follow me. One customer gave me a hug. So, it is because of these wonderful people that I do feel sorry that I’m leaving. But, not sorry enough to stay. For once the family has to come before the job and the children would be very disappointed if I told them I had a change of heart. So, I will not be changing my mind, but it sure is difficult. More difficult than I originally thought.

Hi Kim, I understand your sentiment completely about leaving your job, I have been a school bus driver for over 10+, on June 8th I parked my bus and walked away from it for the last time, I have on going health issues and they are not getting any better, but then again, what does get with age?

I will miss my co workers and even the kids, but I won’t miss much else, its been truly a labor of love over the years.
