I mentioned this in the today thread, but I was surprised to find a last paycheck deposited from my old job at KFC this morning. Well I guess I'm still entitled to it cause I worked there, even if it was only for a day before I remembered "oh right I quit this shit job because the hours are long, the work is stressful, and it's a shit job that nobody but Teenagers/college students and ex cons/junkies should do."
Still...On some level I do feel kinda bad. As bad as it was I just up and left after being given a second chance. The last thing I said to my old boss (in a text message) was "I'm going to college, I can't come back." Not 100% a lie but I'm going as an employee not a student, then I blocked her number completely. One thing's for certain, I can NEVER reapply to any kfc where I live ever again. I kinda burned that bridge and good. Hell I probably can't even show my face in either restaurant ever again if only because they'll be beyond pissed at me. Still it's not that big a loss, New job starts monday and it's one I needed for a long time. Even if it is more dishwashing.
Well speaking of old jobs. My last one at the bar actually asked if I could come back the other day. That one I would have been more than happy to return to and stay there cause it was a blast. Eh, but as I've said new one starts monday and It's full time with only Friday and Saturday off, and the bar didn't have any openings that day. Unlike with KFC I left them on good terms and no hard feelings.
Lastly...on an even more personal note. As good as things seem to FINALLY be going. I can't help but feel like this is some kinda "last chance." A "don't fuck this one up focus, make a good first impression on Monday, work smarter not harder, and do whatever it takes to make this one last, " scenario. I don't know if i believe in karma, luck, guardian angels and all that jazz, but it's like the universe has given me too many second chances as it is, and this big one is my last one. A fresh start to really put my life in order and start on a road to bigger and better things. Onward and upward...just don't fuck this one up.
