As of today I'm unemployed again. By choice of course...sort of. I quit after being threatened at work by a customer for the billionth time during a closing shift, which are always done alone since that company says they don't make enough money to have two people close late at night. I just felt unsafe and they never honored my requests to have some day shifts or non-closing shifts (AKA more then 1 of them a week). My boss really didn't take my resignation well given that I tried to quit in the most professional manner possible in which I got a very unprofessional response. Is it too much to ask from an employer that they provide a work environment where you don't have to be afraid of getting attacked by someone? But oh well the past is the past.

What was surprising was when I asked my parents what they thought about my plan to quit I got a solid "we support you." No "look at it this way" or "that's a stupid idea" just a straight "I support you" from both parents which shocked me but was extremely comforting.

I really think getting out of there is going to be good for me. Today it felt as if a kind of funk was lifted and I was able and motivated to get so much done that I've been meaning to do. I had probably the most painless dental cleaning ever and I've pretty much always kept pretty good care of my teeth. Plus for some reason I've had "Louie, Louie" stuck in my head, go figure.
