Tonight's Poet Corner: Introspection
Okay. So, I just got back from a Giants game (we lost, but it was still fun), and I know that I've put off a longer introspection for a while. A lot has happened - some bad, some good - and I'll try to get it all down without looking sloppy.
First of all, my store received a new manager after the last manager didn't work out. Let's just say that the staff is a lot happier, and the store is looking a lot nicer. It's really sad that my last manager, a man I had a lot of confidence in, turned out to be a total dud as a leader and a supervisor. He ultimately took advantage of every worker in the store, delegating the tasks he should have been responsible for to us. It's difficult for me not to secretly wish that karma gets at him, but I think the damage is done, and whatever happens, I hope he's healthy and learning how to improve as a worker.
Second of all, my dog of nearly sixteen years died this week. He was definitely deteriorating over the year, and while he wasn't severely sick, I knew how hard life was getting for him when it came to just walking around. He went very peacefully, and I already miss him. Rest in Peace, Harold. Much love to my pooch.
As for everything else, I'm trying to just stay on my toes, write, and keep on top of my teaching credential classes. It's just been a crazy and occasionally rough few weeks. And...really, that's all I can think of to type. I'm just going to keep pushing forward, staying positive and not being too anxious. Also, I'm glad the Giants at least have a wild card slot. That's worth something, right?
All right, I'm more tired than I thought. Have a great night and a great weekend, everyone.
