July 15, 2021 - My last day at the Library.
Oh how I loved this job! But, things change. Things must come to an end.
I think my previous post was 2015. After that I opened up a small wellness center. This would grow to include a giftshop. It was a part-time small business. There were many situations, circumstances, and events that would happen between 2015-2021. All worthwile and mostly good.
I loved my job, but I had changed. I could no longer tolerate certain behaviors, situations, etc. I just didn't want to anymore. My beloved job was becoming anxiety ridden. Then, health issues took a front seat. Front & Center. I decided that life is just too short to not be happy. My husband and I went through some hard marital things, but we work through the muck & mire. Love and happiness are a choice. I talked with my family and I explained my heart. The next day, I went to Boss-Man and explained my health issues. Others didn't really believe in my health issues. Others were upset because they thought I said or did things that painted them in the wrong. None of that is true. They will continue to believe what they want. I don't care. It's all petty and not important.
I told Boss-Man that I no longer want to miss out on any autumn days by being stuck inside. My eyes were being affected by health issues and some things that were important to me at one time, no longer were. I gave him my final date of employment - a Thursday, because I wanted Friday off.
I'm the type that can walk away and never look back. I know I have to cut ties and burn that bridge or I will never keep moving forward. Some people can't understand that. I know myself best. I have to sever ties or I won't keep moving forward. I blocked almost all of my co-workers and never looked back. After a year, I struggled to recall last names of some of them. After two years, I have completely forgotten entire names and several last names. I would really have to think about it. Just recently, one of my antagonizers saw me from across the street. The person was with a group and made gestures towards me. I can only guess that everything they had to say was sweet and caring, but since they didn't come over or say hello, it is only a guess. It's been two years. I can't ever recall that person's last name! I guess they are still a fan of mine.
While I loved the job and the resident ghosties, I find that I have more encounters with the paranormal at my business. I'm finding that I love this business so much more than I knew was possible! If you are interested in other ghostie adventures that we may have, please feel free to look up my other blogs.
I wish only the best for my previous co-workers. I always had their back, but they couldn't believe that. I wasn't one to "gossip around the watercooler" and when you don't participate, you become suspect. Whatever. I still wish them all the best. We had lots of fun at times and that's what I choose to remember instead.
