Hey everyone, well change has come knocking at my door again. I have a feeling that 2012 is going to be rife with change.
For the past three years i have worked in loss prevention for a major retailer. I was very successful, unfortunally the retailer hasnt been. So they have been steadly cutting hours, and in cutting hours safety in my job had gotten worse. Before i had as many as 4 guys at a time to arrest someone, fights were very rare. the last year and a half i have had two or even one guy only to arrest people, fights started to break out every week.
Now they have cut our hours yet again. Now i am working all alone. But the company still expects us to keep up our arrest numbers. No way to make both happen. So i have decided to resign. To walk away from something that was once very important to me, but now is causing me problems.
I got a little manic dealing with this, but not as much as i thought i would. In fact once i made the decision the next morning i woke up feeling it was the right thing to do. In fact every day since friday i have felt the same way. Its time to move on.
Financially it hurts me a little, but not that much. Mostly more not wasteing money as opposed to actuall starvation. LOL LOL
But the bicycle shop said they would hire me in april at 30 hours a week. Plus my full time job is going to start a new 56 hour work week. That will make up the money i have lost at the part time job easily.
Anyway, change is in the air. Ive been working so hard the last four years, its time to take a break. Im going to look on this six weeks as a vacation, walking thor, hiking, bicycling, the lot. Im going to take the break im entitlied to for the last three years. Ill still get my resume out there, but i am really at peace with this. Funny how life changes sometimes.
