moving on what

Andrew is a jerk. So is whoever else was involved in the decision not to promote me. Depending on who got the position, I may have to quit. If someone from outside the store got the part-time promotion, I can stay, even if someone from inside the store got the full-time one, because I didn't apply for that. But if someone from inside the store beat me out for the part-time promotion, regardless of who got the full-time promotion, I won't be able to stay on there. It'll be too embarrassing, too degrading, too not worth it like it always has been, but this time no avoiding it.

So if a + b, then y, or if a + a, then y. But maybe y is a better question than answer. Why don't you like me? Why does it hurt to be rejected by something I already hate?

I actually got a new job today, 7 hours before I realized I was losing this one. The new job, waitress at the Whiskey Bar, is just down the street from Chapters, and it will pay more, and it is what I wanted. But I will still miss this job that has been what I do, this thing that has become so routine that it is life to me. I will miss the familiarity, I will miss my coworkers who are among the few people I regularly talk to, I will miss my discount, and I will miss being immersed in the world of books.

This weekend then, I may quit both my jobs. After 2 more interviews at other bars, and the upcoming announcement as to who actually got the promotions, the decision will present itself.
