These days I'm starting to feel more anxious and worried...
There are 2 things next wk that I'm sort of dreading..:
1) Breaking the news to my manager that I'm gonna be gone from work until the end of August when she JUST hired me April-ish (I've barely worked for even months o_o)
2) Driving test
Most worried about breaking the news though, well basically:
My family had planned a family trip to China/Taiwan this summer ever since...well let's just say at least a year ago. So the plan is we're going to be leaving mid-July and coming back end of August. I knew all of this. Despite that, my mom still pushed me to get a part-time job and some work experience cause other than teaching piano at home, I've never had an actual employer before. At first I was thinking: Sure I'll just work at some random fast-food chain and then just quit whenever since it's not that important anyway. But the thing is it's really hard to find jobs these days so I searched everywhere, so I applied to a few retail places too.And I never expected getting in retail as my first job.
That's great and all but now that I'm just starting to get used to my co-workers and the working environment I feel really really bad for leaving. And I went into this job KNOWING I was gonna leave...and I quite like the job too and would love to continue. I talked to a friend of mine who suggested I talk to my manager at least 2 or 3 wks prior, and refer to a few people that can take my place while I'm gone. So that's what I'm going to do next week, but this job requires training. I was trained for like a week, and I'm still being trained every now and then. Even if I find someone capable, it's still bad for my co-workers because they'd have to start the process all over again...and I don't even want to imagine how upset my manager will be once I told her, or the other coworkers' thoughts..I do plan on telling her that (well it's a lie...) this vacation is a last-minute decision and I'm deeply sorry about this..hope she'll understand..
Despite getting a place near my campus for next year, I feel that I still want to continue coming back during the weekends to continue working, cause seriously, 2 and 1/2 months is just wayy too short...but I don't know if my manager will let me cause there are just so many people looking for jobs these days, and she may even have other people in mind already...
