Goodbye Wal-Mart, Hello Happiness

Dearest WAl-Mart,
    While I will miss you (for only a minimal amount of time), I won't miss you either.

     I'm tired of being stressed out day in and day out. I'm tired of always feeling anxious. I'm tired of always getting stupid headaches from the stress and anxiety you cause me!!!

    I am starting a new job on the 28th. I will be a house keeper making $10.50/hour...and that's starting out!!! $1.50 MORE than what YOU started me out at. Also, at about 60 days in, if all goes well, I will get benefits.

    Guess what, tho??! Those benefits are FREE!!! I do not have to pay for them!!! Praise God for that.

    Wal-Mart, while I am very thankful for you giving me the job when I so desperately needed one, I can no longer take the sicknesses, headaches, stress, and anxiety you continually provoke upon me. I'm thankful for the paychecks and insurance you provided for both me AND my husband. I'm thankful for the learning experience that I had with you. One of which was how to treat people...espically the ones who work in retail.

    You were a tremendous help for me. I just could no longer take everything that was being thrown at me.

    If Jesus wants me to return, then He will find a way for me to return there and be happy.

    I need something that will make me happy. That will keep me moving all the time. I like SOME downtime.....just not a lot. I enjoy helping people without feeling super overwhelmed. I'm finally headed back to where I'm supposed to be, I believe.

    Thank you again for your time that you provided me, Wal-Mart. But it was high time for me to walk away from you. I hate that I did it the way I did. I really do. But I cannot feel guilty about it. I learned a lot from you. I also learned how I DON'T want to be treated by an employer.

    So, this is my goodbye to you Wal-Mart. So long and farewell. I wish you the very best in finding a replacement for me. I pray that Teresa is understanding, as are you.

     My regards,

     Erin B.

Good Cry's

I had a good cry earlier. The cry came from my ticket (read my last post titled UH OH). Sometimes you just have to cry. Cry for no reason at all. Cry because you are frustrated. Cry to help releave some pain that you have. I've cried for all of the reasons I just gave. I go in search of songs that'll help me cry. Crying releaves soooo many things. Tension that's built up...pain from a death or breakup...even for no reason. Music helps with that. Trust me on that one. It will always make you feel better. And as much as I hate to admit it, once in a while I do like to listen to love songs and cry. Sad songs. Now I feel a bit better. I just wanna have a happier and less stressful life...but it'll be hard to find. A happy and stress free or less stressful life seems like it only hapens in my dreams or only hapens to the rich. :-/

Kinda sad too

About a month ago, my general manager quit. I had a panic attack while at work once I had his departure confirmed.  I needed that man more than he will EVER know. I still need him. I really do. He made the days better. He listened to me. He cared about me. Was I spoiled? Yes I was.  Is the fact that I was spoiled why, even a month later, the reason I still have a hard time. Maybe...just a little.  The worst is that I trusted this man. I trusted him SO much. And he trusted ME. He seemingly cared about me more than I care to admit.  I also have found out where he now works. I won't say it here. At least, not right now. Give him some time to settle in.  I only hope good things for him. I really do. Granted, I feel like this man broke me. Even though I feel that way, I will ALWAYS wish him the best. I will ALWAYS have his back. I know he still has mine. At least I hope he does.  Tyler, if you ever see this, please know that I am rooting for you. Please know that you can always use me a
