I quit my job, at the time I honestly didn't know what I was gonna do for another one. Some people may think it is dumb to quit your job before having another one lined up. But I needed out. I worked at Venture Data. It was an interesting place to work. I did increase my typing speed. Which was good, I also perfected my phone voice. There were good days, like when someone tells you sound cute, or when you get really good open ends. However there were bad days. Days when people who didn't even know me told me to go kill myself, or shut myself in my room and never come out. Or that clearly I wasn't smart enough to get into college because I was working at a call center. I would just shake off the mean things people would say, and just try to remember that they don't know me, and that they are wrong. Beside the people I would call, other things began to add to the flame of why I didn't like my job. I would have to call in each day to try to get onto the shift, and sometimes I wouldn't make it. My first week working there I worked one day, even though I was scheduled for six days. Sometimes it would take 20 minutes before someone would answer my call. Besides this it smelt so bad at work. The building didn't smell bad, it is what my coworkers did outside of the building that often gave me a migraine. My coworkers would constantly be taking breaks to smoke. They didn't just smoke cigarettes. I absolutely hate the smell of pot, and constantly people would walk by my desk and I would want to cringe. Don't even get me started on my coworkers language, or the things I heard people say that offended me.I decided after my birthday that I was done. I needed a new environment, and Venture Data was not the place for me. Congratulations to people who work there, and Love it. I gave my two weeks notice at the begging of November.
I came home from work one night, and found myself on the mall website. I was looking for the photo-booth information, I needed to contact. However the many searches I tried where I reworded what I typed into the search bar. Santa's information kept popping up, and telling me to apply. I figured I love Christmas, I love kids. Why not? I applied, and I got the job. When my new boss asked me why I wanted to work for Santa I said "Why wouldn't you want to work for Santa?" I am so excited to start this new journey, in a much better environment. Where I actually get to see the people I am talking with. I couldn't be happier with my move. I needed to be with people, and not sitting in chair staring at a computer screen.
That is why I quit my job, and went to work for Santa!
