Nottingham Forest Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I know, everyone said if I didn't have any nerves then I wouldn't be normal. It just feels weird to not have the comfort blanket of the job I've done for nearly 4 years. Knowing that I have to start over again to impress people. I'm confident that I can do it, it just feels weird, that's all. As I said earlier, my old boss has said if it doesn't work out, give him a ring and he'll employ me again. Whether he means it though is another thing. Hopefully I'll have a good few days/weeks and those feelings will become a distant memory. Everyone at Morrisons has said I'm making the right decision, including many managers and supervisors. Also having weekends off, I think and an extra 5 days off when the uni closes should help possibly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nottingham Forest Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I think its a brave but good decision imo. You was comfy at Morrissons and I honestly though you'd be there for life . This will be the making of you. So did I. I did/do enjoy working there and wanted to progress. Unfortunately it wasn't going to come any time soon imo and I'd be waiting for someone to leave to get a possible chance. If they'd have replaced my old supervisor who left in March, then I'd have possibly stayed now. But they didn't which means I'd have to keep plugging along. Working for a uni offers it's own chance of progression and probably a faster one with it being a fairly set market. Not that retail and Morrisons aren't. It's just that it's a tougher market out there at the moment with shoppers wanting more bargains. So yeah, moving on was needed. I'll tell you one thing I won't miss, Christmas in retail . Customers buying 4 years worth of shopping because we'll be closed for one possibly two days . You wasn't the only person to think I'd be there for life. Loads of staff who come in on Saturday were shocked to find out that I'd handed in my resignation as they thought the same. In the future, I'd like to be a property developer. So learning new things and making as much money as possible is what I need to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nottingham Forest Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Oh and I've had a Chinese tonight, paid for by myself for my family as well and now I'm enjoying some brandy and cokes. Took advantage of my last chance to use of my discount card by buying a crate of beer for my dad, 3 bottles of brandy(2 same and 1 different), of which one is for my grandad as a replacement for drinking his one. A bottle of gin for my nan for Christmas, some Toblerone minis for my dad for Christmas, 3 packs of Mars Bars for my grandad, a Brothers Tutti Frutti Cider and 4 small boxes of Maltesers for my brother for Christmas. Oh and 2 boxes of Liquorice Allsorts for my nan for Christmas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather not divulge too much regarding company name, etc. I'll just say that we're a fairly small Leeds based company who deal with car warranty. In the company there are just three teams, and altogether only around fifty members of staff. We deal with warranty for expensive cars, so basically all the clients we have and try to contact are rich tossers. Tom needing to keep people onside #shocker Quiet you.

gechal Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 My other half has taken herself and the children to her mothers for the weekend 110 miles away. I have no work until Tuesday. Now usually to a normal person this could mean wild parties etc. I am going to watch Swansea everton, go to the gym , go shopping then settle down to a night boxing on the telly. Then Sunday I go to watch my son ( who doesn't live with me) play football, a cup match. Then me and the boy will come home, play a bit of FIFA and wait for the rest of them to get back. Upon which my other half will make us all a chicken roast dinner. Not too exiting for some, but for me that is almost a perfect weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
