On Saturday, when I left work, I decided I was never going back. I spent months feeling unappreciated, feeling disrespected, and feeling stuck because I wasn't sure if getting another job would make things better. But I had this feeling. I even remember talking to David about it. Like there was something I was missing. Something inside of me was yelling at me to leave that place and go after what I want. Like any sane person, I obviously questioned that voice, because I have a family to think about, so I can't give into every impulse. But after a rough week, and two especially rough mornings, where I worked two breakfast shifts, alone, after sold out nights, with no break, I was feeling really low. I was exhausted. I was running on very little sleep and very little energy. I had been feeling a little better, because the guests that morning thanked me numerous time for my hard work and attentiveness, so I was using that to keep going....But then I ran into my boss. And she felt it was necessary to harp on me for one thing I forgot to do the day before. And felt it necessary to inform me to step up my game because she wasn't planning to come in and help the next day. At that exact moment, any protest I had about leaving was squashed into oblivion. My biggest regret is leaving my coworkers to fend for themselves. They were a big reason I stayed as long as I did. They are fun, vibrant, hard-working people and they do not deserve to be treated the way they are. But like they say any time you fly a plane, "You must put on your own oxygen mask first, before helping others." So I'm starting a new business. If it's going to be a couple years, before I can truly commit myself to film, why not make some decent money working for myself? I know what type of boss I am (Kind of a bitch, but I get the job done ;-) ) And if I can get successful enough to not only support my family, but help my friends out of their situations and help them rise up, then Damnit I'm going to do it. I'm not throwing away my shot. #hamiltonismyinspiration #ListeningtoHamiltonmademequitmyjob #ihopeaaronburrdoesntshootme #HBIC #lookingforamindatwork (at Farmington Hills)
