And The Guy Next To Me Is Cool, Too
Sep. 3rd, 2008 11:24 pmSo I handed in my two weeks' notice at work today. I'm working the rest of this week and all of next week, minus the paid leave I'm taking on Wednesday to listen to the Torchwood radio drama, and then I'll be taking the rest of the time I have left in NM to pack and spend time with my family.
I'm feeling so conflicted about leaving this job, much worse than the movie theater job. I mean, that job sucked major ass, and I wanted to stab almost all my co-workers in the face all the time, and my training consisted of five minutes of being shown how to use a popper and then being thrown into the fray. Whereas at the call center, they spent three weeks training me how to do this job, all the ins-and-outs of identity theft and credit reports and how to work all the computer resources, etc, etc. Plus everyone I've worked with has been so nice, from the awesome people who taught the training class, to my old manager John who moved to IT and still says hi everyday, to my new manager Jesse, who is so nice and helpful and undersatnding of my epic fail, to just the other people on my team. I feel so bad for being at the center for such a short time and then leaving right away to go back to school, especially since I wasn't upfront that I would be doing that. I didn't lie about it, but I wasn't frank about it either.
On the other hand, my other option rather than quitting would be to not go back to Stanford and just work at a call center being yelled at by angry strangers for the rest of the year. Um, no. Bad bad choice. So I guess I shall just have to deal.
