Congratulations.
What will you now do with the time previously spent at mall job?
March 26 is my last day.
This is a change I have wanted to make for a long time. And I am so thrilled and grateful that my time has finally come.
Congratulations.
What will you now do with the time previously spent at mall job?
this is about that little kid with small bills......isn't it?
My primary desire is to devote much more time to caring for my husband, our home, and building relationships with our family. This has been something that has been very difficult to do since I have had two jobs for the past five years.
My husband, Bo graciously allows me to help him with his work, since organizing is something I very much like.
Bo is doing great in his job and doesn't need any assistance from me, but I greatly enjoy helping in things that matter to Bo.
Household duties aside, I am going to use the extra time to take some chances.
This summer I would like to try to get roles as an extra in a movie. I did this once before but have been so bogged down with work, I have not had the oppportunity to do it again.
I am a staff member for the youth newsletter at my church. But I have been so busy I have only had time to contribute articles. I look forward to having more time to socialize with the other writers and build those friendships.
I am very relieved to no longer have to juggle holiday get togethers with family around two job schedules. That was a real strain this past year.
So the short answer to your question is that for the first few months I am just going to enjoy finally having some time.
Some of my time is spoken for as I am still employed at the AT&T Center in a part time job there. But I thinking working some will be a better balance for me than either working all the time or working not at all, since I have no kids at home to care for.
I was waiting for that.
I am thankful God gave me the wisdom to quit while I still:
1) Have my sanity intact
2) While I am still on good terms with my employers
3) Am not a parent and have time to pursue some personal goals, that I might not have time or money for once I have a baby.
Bo has been so helpful and encouraging throughout this process. He helped me weigh out my options, prioritize, and come up with a plan of action. And he has supported me 100% every step of the way. I am very blessed.
I am grateful to Back to Basics also. He really helped me understand my own mind when he asked me to write the "Modern Woman" post.
I have struggled great with working so much (until now I had two jobs) because I have felt constantly torn. With so many responsibilities I have not excelled either at home or at work.
Actually in recent days my performance at my mall job has been uncharacteristically sub par- which I know is evidence of the mental strain I put myself under by overcommitting myself.
This decision is the best one for everyone involved- even the little boy with all the $1 bills.
good luck to you and bo. as much as i don't agree with certain aspects of your investment in religion i do however and sincerely think you and bo are great people and wish nothing but good fortune to both of you.
Wtg, angel_luv. I hope you went out Scarface style.
That is so kind. Thank you very much! I wish you well also.
I was teasing Bo that on my last day I am going to take the radio and hide somewhere in the mall and use the radio to sing show tunes in farewell to all my co-workers.
Am so happy for you Angel. Things will work out for the better if you're not so stressed over working so much. Everything will work out for you and Bo, and I'm looking forward to hearing about all of your accomplishments in the future. Good luck!
Thank you!
Use your time wisely!
You'll be barefoot and pregnant in no time!
Congrats Angel! Enjoy life!
Good for you for having the guts to take a big step towards what you want out of life. Best of luck in your endeavors.
Starting March 27 any time you post I'm sure there will plenty of us here to remind you to get back in the kitchen.
I feel so badly for Bo, he doesn't know what he's gotten himself into.
Having said that, you don't resign from a job at the mall, you just quit.
Woo hoo! Bo must be making the big $$ now.
Go back to school, imo.
Taking care of the household and pumping out babies is what you christian wifes fo, no?
Thanks very much SFIE.
Thanks all for your kind words.
I guess.
Everyone that I work for/ with here has been so kind and supportive.
The executive manager just spoke to me on the phone and was so kind and gracious to me. She told me I am welcome to return to work at the mall anytime and that everyone supports me in doing what is best for me.
I really appreciate my manager having taken the time to encourage me because she did not have to.
Preggers.
Nope.
Just sounds like a bad idea. He's going to be working his ass off to support you and himself, and you're going to be screwing around trying to be an extra in a movie. How long before he starts to resent you for that?
There are a lot of other ways this can go wrong as well.
