Hey! Just recently it was my last day of work. It had finally come. Now I know many of you may ask yourself why stop now when you have so much time left. To be honest, I don’t exactly know the reason myself, but I saw the next door was opening. So as most people do, I walked through it curious to find what was next. Now this is not a lesson about knowing when to do what. It’s merely just a story about my last day of work, how I felt, and how I acted.
The days journey starts the night before with me learning that I had to work the day shift too. I am used to just working the night shift. It was a little annoying, but I thought it’s my last day why not. The next day comes by fast. I wake up at nine with thirty minutes to get a shower, dressed, and brush my teeth. Now it takes me thirty minutes to get to work and I have to be there by ten. My day began in a rush right out the door.
I make it to work right about ten minutes early literally nothing happening. I’m basically the only one there. So I sit, wait for a bit, and then decide to go in. Immediately I see dishes to wash I clock in and get to it and finish it quickly enough. Now the beginning of the day shift was mainly me just sitting around waiting on dishes a pretty normal day so far.
Then near the end of the day shift or maybe a few hours before, I see Mr. Pisacreta, my old music teacher from middle school. I would say one of the coolest adults I know in terms of just being fun to talk to. So he and I sit there for about an hour just talking about the good times and some bad times(nothing terrible just in case) just talking. It was just a good talk all together. I got to speak my mind and generally we share the same view points which is nice to have a friend who agrees. Plus I know he gets real with people too. So if I am wrong, I would count on him to call it out. It was just really nice to be in this place with a good friend. Eventually he finishes eating and I get back to work.
Finally after a bit of an exhausting morning I go on break. Now, I had ordered a new bible and I was absolutely excited for it. It was delivered after I had left for work that morning. So I rushed home as quickly as I could. When I got home I went straight to it opened the box and just fell in love. I thought that finally I had recovered a piece of that hole inside of my soul. To be honest it was the happiest I had ever felt I showed it off to my mom and quickly went back to work.
Now this excitement and happiness must have triggered the ADHD that I was suppressing up until this point because as soon as I got back to work I was just different for the rest of the day. My boss had never seen me so hyper, and well this hyperactivity surprised all of them. For the longest time I was quiet and generally to myself just to get the job done everyday. Finally the other side of me was shown. Most people tend to dislike this side of me so I guess I just never show as much as I used too, but my everyone was actually entertained. I showed off my bible a bit and read it cause I really haven’t opened a bible in a while( I really needed to do that). The day was peaceful and fun. Then near the end of the day it got busy, and I was rushed with dishes and slowly loosing energy. I made it to closing time and was basically just done with the day. I finally finished the dishes and headed home.
On the way home this song came on and it just hit me how much I would truly miss the people at this job. They are a good group of people. Still even though it was so great, I saw another part of my life unfold even more. It was time to move or I would get left behind. So as one door closes the other door opens and for now I begin my next journey.
