Well nothing was until just now, but its alot at the moment ...........

Well I just got off the phone with my boss, and we had a long talk. I knew I was doing well at my job and the two people I worked with had nothing but good things to say about me, however I was told that he didn't think that this job was for me. Retail, long hours on your feet etc is not a job for everyone and with this particular job because usually only one person is working ~ there are no real breaks. He wont let you sit down, even just for a few mins at a time when there are no customers and after standing for 6 hours at a time my feet become very sore no matter how much I walk or pace or try tricks that others have recommended (and I did). He was willing to cut down my hours and had given me 5 hours yesterday instead of 7, but still felt that this job probably isn't one for me.

I'm pretty bummed and disappointed that it came down to this, but maybe it is for the better. I was doing good and am glad that I stuck it out even if it only lasted 3 days; he said to me if I can get myself to feeling better and want to try again down the road he's more than willing to let me come back but for now its best if I find something more suited to what I can do physically. I guess he's right, atleast I tried and even he said that ~ luckily he's a nice guy or else I think this would be worse. I've gotta keep my chin up and remind myself that everything happens for a reason; I will just start putting my resume out to office jobs and call centres and possibly see if I can get funding for school. I will NOT let this get me and and I WILL make it to the Reunion next year come hell or high water; not this or anything else will get me down and I certainly won't let this knock me down.

Got alot on my mind right now, just gotta breathe and think.
