Okay, so I quit today. Lasted fifteen months all told. I won't be detailing the reasons but I also didn't share the reasons with my employer, telling them only that I was moving on to new opportunities.
What opportunities? How much they paying you?
Double. I smile gingerly and keep polishing spoons. They're always water-spotted. I cringe when I give them out.
Oh.
He doesn't say much more. He comes back an hour later and asks if I'll come back someday.
Maybe, I lie. Depends.
You should come back.
I almost felt sorry for him but then I remember that straw, the one that broke the Bridget's back and the one that sent me straight to his desk to give notice.
When I got home everyone was ready with the hugs. Long comforting hugs. Can't believe you lasted that long hugs. What took you so long hugs. You okay hugs. Let's burn your uniform hugs. The best one was from Lochlan who rocked me in his arms, the I can't wait to spend more time with you hug. That was definitely the greatest one.
