some of you know that im a dog trainer at petsmart. well i put in my 8 week notice today(i have to give an 8 week notice to finish classes ive started).

a part of me is relieved because this means no more working weekends, no more unpredictable paychecks(getting payed off of commisions), no more crazy customers who expect me to be the dog whisperer and cure their vicous dog after it tries to bite my hand off, no more getting called into work when the other trainers quit. im actually going to have a steady paycheck, time to spend with my family, and a normal schedule.

but at the same time im kind of depressed about leaving. i have grown really close to a couple of my coworkers (one of my managers has been my boyfriend for 2 years now... shhhh...) i've worked for the company for 4 years, i absolutely love when i actually get to help someone with their dog. you have no idea how rewarding it is to see the excitment on someones face when their dog finally sits for the first time, or lays down, or rolls over. im going to miss my head manager who has stood up for me, taught me alot about animals, and i almost look up to her as an aunt or something now. im going to miss the regulars who brought their dogs in when they were 12 weeks old and are now full grown.

blah! i just feel kinda weird right now.... i wish i could afford to keep this as a part time job... but i need to move out,i need to pay off credit cards, and i need to finish getting through school.

i just needed to vent...
