so i start a new job on monday, 1 week from today....i am scared shitless! i've worked at the buck for 6.5 years now and i cannot believe i am leaving...it's bittersweet. all the long days and night, all the heartache, the many many many many people i have worked with, going to a new store 7 months ago and realizing how much i missed downtown and my old staff :( but i have some pretty cool people on my new staff, and now i am leaving eventhough i am sad i also know that this was not meant to be my career....anyone who thinks being a manger at starbucks is easy is dead wrong! it is the hardest job i have ever had...it takes a lot out of you and for me i think it was taking too much, i couldn't breathe, i was suffocating...and now i am free and i look back at the past 6.5 years i have spent there and can't help but miss it already...longing for the old days...i remember when i thought i had the best damn job in the world but somewhere along the line something happened and that changed...going back to school has changed my life so much in the course of a year i can't even begin to explain, but a good change i guess the buck will always be there in my thoughts and my old store in downtown is right around the corner along with some of my fellow mgrs, from my new job. i can always visit.........
