Well, tomorrow's it! My last day at the retail job...at least this particular retail job. Good chance I'll end up with another one, although that's against the plan. The plan is to branch out into something completely different. But as we all know, our resumes handcuff us into monatany. When the money gets tight and the "something completely different" is dragging its heels, it's time to dust off the retail-heavy resume and start again. This time around though, I hope to use my retail experience as a back-up plan and not the meat and potatoes for what it is I end up doing.
Oh man, what am I going to end up doing tomorrow?? Will I absolutely lose it on a customer? Multiple customers?? I'd like to think that I'm a little more mature than that... I'd like to think...
One thing that I've learned this time around in the retail universe is apathy equals success. The less I care, the better the mood I'm in. The better the mood I'm in, the better I am at my retail job. When I'm good at my retail job, not caring, getting shit done, and still blatently making fun of customers to their faces, everyone's happy. Even the customers whom are getting made fun of, because they're too stupid to realize they're being made fun of.
One other thing that I've learned from the retail universe is that not just customers in my store are stupid. Everyone is stupid. In a room of 18 random people, I'd suspect that four might be normal and suitable to talk to and possibly befriend. The other twelve, stupid. It's science.
If I end up freaking out tomorrow or saying something that I normally might regret, due to damaging my job security, I'll let you know.
