An end to a beautiful start
I started working in stop and shop when we shifted. It was my second choice the first one bieng shoprite as I was learning to be in florals there. But they could'nt give me more than 12 hours a week and which meant only thrice a week, almost part time of part time. I was irritated because more than 1/2 the time I was home, this prompted me to apply in SnS and my remaining of the time got filled. It was then that I got the kick of doing two jobs, a kick that I am enjoying till this day. And the work permit got over. Then I got in the Y and applied back in SnS but no reply came back. One day, I had gone to buy something when I met my mentor/pal and she told me to reapply and I did. Once again working over the weekends. Later, I got really tired of Y and applied in school district, I thought I could discontinue but I couldnt, I loved the customer interaction, I loved meeting people and in the process made friends both in customers and associates. I would sometimes wish a stray saturday or sunday off but once I would reach the store, time would pass in a jiffy, I would wait for my favourite customers and the jokes we shared. I liked the walks to the store when the sun was just rising.
And now this pal was closing. In four months and I wonder. Somewhere it would be a logical end to a lovely relationship with no temptation to go back. Though better (?) is coercing me to leave as soon as possible, I wish I can hold on atleast till october.
It feels as if I will be losing a dear friend to a deadly disease but hope so I can stay with her till she dies a natural death in november.
