Coffee and I are not friends..

We have never been, really. I NEVER drink coffee, or soda for that matter. Caffeine and me are on the outs. We always have been. I don't know why really I just love to drink water. And lots of it.

I drink coffee so rarely that when I came home with a 4 pack of Starbucks Mocha Frappachinos the hubby says "Who are those for? You do not drink coffee?" (they were on sale and I had a coupon)

Also he does not drink cold coffee.


SOOOOO on to my Mochas. A little tib bit about how I do not like the way caffeine makes me feel. Although when I do need it IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the smell of coffee ( I did work for a HUGE coffee place as a manager for almost 2 years) I just do not like the taste.

Weird no?

Well this morning I busted open on of those cold coffees.....

All is well in Random land... And shoes!!

I went in yesterday.
WHAT. A. RELIEF.
My manager was really cool about it (as much as she could be "knowing" she was the issue). I also talked to the VP and CEO and thanked them for the opportunity of working for them.
Clean out my desk, said my goodbyes. It went REALLY well.

I still feel sick at the fact that I am unemployed. But I know EVERYTHING happens for a reason, I can always go back to my roots of serving or bar tending which I may do for a while just to get back into the swing of things. ONLY if I do not get an offer next week which I am crossing my fingers that I will. I have a 3 week cusion that I will still get paid so things are looking good.

Things I have learned through all this shit:

1. I can no longer be a "yes man" I have always been at work and this will be a HUGE leap for me but thats how I let it get that bad!!!

2. No job is worth your own sanity. You need to TALK about what's going on, and less worry about not being perfect.

3. I can not please everyone.

4. I will not settle again.

5. I am a KICK ASS employee. I do not need to be told this its proof when the "start" a new position for you to stay with the company. This speaks volumes of my character.

Oh and 3 reasons I need to get a new job soon!
One

Two

Three.. well sort of these are new but not the ones I was going to take a picture of I have a new pair of black ones that are FABULOUS for work


Oh and I am making a new blog but I need a name... Its going to feature all of my shoes. Thats it my pink belly will show and all of my shoes will be on display.... My shoe closet... What should I call it?
