the Nonsense in Between

awkward goodbyes

Today was my last day at work. It's been sort of a bitter-sweet experience. Sweet because my boss(es) are cruel morons who don't deserve my time, good riddance to them. But the sadness comes from the accounts I've spent so much time with over the last year. It was really hard to break the news to them and a couple of them almost made me cry. All were supportive of my decision and said they'd do the same in my situation. One account even said they're going to call my boss and let him know what a "talented employee" he's losing. They all offered me a job in their salons which I thought was a nice compliment. Knowing that someone thinks I'm talented makes me happy even if he didnt.

The awkward-est goodbye of all was at my exit interview. The woman who got me the position wanted to meet with me. We had been close in the beginning but then she became this hardened corporate asshole who only looked out for herself. She recently did something really shitty to me, to use one of her favorite terms, she "threw me under the bus". We both knew what she had done to me so there was a bit of tension in our meeting. She's not one to show emotion so I was quite shocked when she got all choked up talking to me. She apologized for "letting me down" and said she wished she could have done more to keep me. Then she told me this: "i knew you weren't going to want Wyoming and if I'd've really thought about it when we changed the territories I would have given you denver and [the other girl] the northern territory, but i guess hindsight is 20/20" WTF? So I could have had Denver if she thought about it?!
Well the course is set now there's no going back. I guess I could have gone without hearing that but at least I know that she knows I was worth keeping and she's stupid for losing me.

So goodbye Job it has been a great learning experience. but where am i going to get my aveda fix now?
