1:19p - Holiday from life
I have officially left Tropical Wings as of Saturday just gone, I start my new job next Monday which means now, I have a week off to do as I like! I do need to get ready for my new job but at the same time it will give me plenty of time to relax and to get all those things done that I don't normally have time for. It seems like such a long time since I have had some real time off, Christmas doesn't count because it is so tiring anyway, but just having a couple of days off at least is a luxury. I felt so tired and drained towards the end of my employment that I just wanted to sleep which I think is the problem with only having one day off at a time instead of a weekend.
I had a small leaving do on Saturday night at the local pub close to work, I didn't do anything big like I did when I left Danbury as I don't really think that the people I worked with would have been up for it. I was a little sad to leave because I really felt that the job had beaten me in some way but I just had to do something about it because it was like flogging a dead horse. I was in a catch 22 situation where I wanted to be trained up and actually go somewhere with it but the boss wasn't prepared to train me (or anyone for that matter) because if we left it would be a waste (stupid I know). I was saying that if I don't get training then I'll leave which would only prove their lack trust right in the end. Well I have always thought you may as well do the crime if your going to do the time so instead I chose to go somewhere else where I would be treated like an adult and be trusted to do the job that I am supposed to do.
A few people were sad to see me go and I'll miss most of them, in fact all the regular folk like me were cool, it is just the managers that did our heads in but then that ios what managers do right? I suppose when you look at people above you who have no qualifications what so ever to be doing that job, while throwing their weight around and avoiding any work themselves makes you loose respect very quickly. Quite a lot of people are leaving though so it will be interesting to see what happens with the place in the future. It has a very high staff turn over anyway and I don't think they will ever work out or even care why. Yes I am better off moving on.
