Current mood:

sad

My store is closing.

I didn't think I'd ever be this sad about losing some job at the mall. But it's not just that.

It's very easy to say "Mia, just get another job."
And I will.
Keep in mind that I've been working there the whole time I've been in college, and I've been there longer than anybody else on my team -- including the manager. I've been working with a lot of these people for a long time, and we've all stuck together through all of the insane holiday seasons and all of the insane other coworkers who have come and gone. I was working there when I met Vince, and everyone celebrate with me when I got engaged (several people were planning to crash the wedding, and, as far as I know, still are. I guess it'll be a lot easier what with all of us being out a job, now.) We've probably spent about as much time talking about ourselves -- our lives, our relationships, our schoolwork -- as we have talking about the business. Anytime anybody started the "Man, I'm so sick of this place" speech, it's been answered with something along the lines of "BUT YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME!" I've helped train everybody on the team, and I am the resident grinch/scrooge/cynical asshole for any given holiday (and all of the downtime in between).

So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm really going to miss these people. I know it sounds cheesy, but these gals are my friends, and I'm going to be really sad to see them go.

I can't really form any poignant thoughts right now, so I guess that's it.
