"You're Fired!" (cont.)

I went in to Whole Foods this evening to get my final paycheck.

Luckily, I had Matty with me. This was not completely coincidental. Let's just say that Matty is very talented when it comes to conveying emotion. Or giving people dirty looks. Or telling them off, VERY well.

One of the "Store Leaders" finally managed to fetch my check from wherever they had it. She is not someone I really wanted to deal with, so I kind of avoided her when I saw her popping up all around the store looking for me. I am not quite sure whether she was looking for me, or keeping her eye on me.

When she finally hunted me down, Matty gave her a very satisfactory glare. I could actually see her physical reaction. She compensated by being extra bitchy when handing my check over.

It sounds, and is, very childish in the long run, but it was something I needed. For the past 36 hours or so I have been telling my story, and everyone that I tell agrees. Everyone that I have told has validated everything that I have been thinking, most recently my mother.

So, tonight I will sleep soundly. I will sleep soundly knowing that I am a great employee, and an even greater person. I will sleep soundly knowing the people I hold at highest regard in my life are on my side. I will sleep soundly knowing that tomorrow is a new day, full of positive experiences and opportunities. Most of all, I will sleep soundly knowing I will survive. "Separating" from Whole Foods is not the end of the fucking world.

With this blog out of the way, I'm going to have to come up with an extended version of my date-thing on Sunday.
