Unemployment

I am now unemployed. Today (or, rather, yesterday) was my last day at the Creamery. One heck of a first job: Coldstone. In the span of six months, I've moved up the ladder from a crew to shift leader in no time, earned a whopping $4,000, exhausted my body working into the wee hours of the night, dealt with people who seem to always create/have issues with their coworkers, and... met awesome people. Sad to say, I will miss slaving my hours mixing on the slab. 

The last day appeared anti-climatic. Vicky and I just went on with the usual: served customers, refilled and refilled, made the store sparkle, ordered take out, and most importantly, goofed around. We had our lasts: waffle-making, cake writing, cake molding... sampling! We closed the store using my key (which I no longer possess), took pictures and left with our cards from Jessica. No crying, no laughing, no nothing. 

...7 more days left, tedious packing and unavoidable goodbyes await. 

When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month or even your year-eat ice cream!
-JP.
