so I work part time nights as a bartender. for the last 7 years same bar 2-3 nights a week. a somewhat busy bar making good money and have a solid amount of "regulars"/ "bar friends" a few weeks back the placed was sold and a new owner took over. though we did not meet eye to eye on everything, things seemed business as usual. until this past wednesday... I get a voicemail yes a freakin voicemail stating:
"because of our closing of our other store we are now overstaffed and will be giving your shifts away, so you will be let go"
what this means:
I feel wonderful today! to be honest, my soul felt trapped and now things are going to fall into place...
I'm going to 'roo in 5days and a new chapter in my life begins
just felt good to get it out there
Only after the last tree has been cut down Only after the last river has been poisoned Only after the last fish has been caught Only then you will find out that money cannot be eaten
a couple more hours until im out of this cube im looking forward to lighting up, cracking a brew and enjoying my first friday night off in a loooooooong time. -freedom-
gee, im sure glad you didnt suggest george michael hahahaha
I spent years in silent agony worried that I might lose my job (the responsibility of being a single parent is sometimes overwhelming in that respect); so I acumulated things with the belief that someday I would have enough to make me feel happy & safe.
Then it happened...I got fired.
The world did not end. We did not starve, and I learned a very valuable truth: I realized that the more you acumulate - the more loan payments & credit card payments you hafta make - the more you have to lose.
Then I relaxed and said to myself "It's only stuff".
Once I let go of the importance of having "one in each color", I found myself relieved that I had actually been fired from a job that was sucking my soul dry.
I was much more cautious in the selection of my next position, and I looked for a place where I could be happier, and accepted for being different. Now I work at a place where, although the work is sometimes boring, I actually feel like I belong. Sometimes the universe just hasta smack you upside the head that way!
SO CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU! I'm so happy for you that you are evolved enough to see the value of this event.
I feel wonderful today! to be honest, my soul felt trapped and now things are going to fall into place...
Sevrin, good for you for having a positive outlook and being willing to see the new possibilities instead of being frozen by anger or fear. That alone bodes well for all the exciting adventures you'll embark on now... Looking forward to meeting ya in 5 days!
Hey man I know how you feel. I used to manage a movie theater. I loved my job. It was easy, fun, and the people I worked with respected me, worked hard for me, and the owner knew it and loved it because he knew he could count on me.
Then one day, inexplicably, the theater closed down. I was crestfallen, and I didn't know what I was going to do. I had gotten good at my job and loved being there.
Turns out, I wound up becoming a System Administrator, which I had thought to be impossible. I love this job even more and I have grown to feel even more passionately about it than I ever had at the theater.
Just goes to show you that sometimes what you think will be your darkest hour really turns out to the path bathed in the brightest light.
