Life After Target

So today is officially my first day unemployed... sounds weird but it's oddly quite refreshing :D

Has been a great couple of days though, on friday night i had farewell drinks at Mansions... the target local.. and although not a great deal of people turned up, the ones i wanted to see did and that's all that matters really :D I got a $70 voucher from everyone at the camera store across the road so Saturday mornin i went in and bought myself a Lowepro backpack, and it's already proved itself to be one of my smarter purchases :D

We had our flickrmeet on Saturday at Warrawong Sanctuary which was cool... got some great shots that'll be on my flickr stream soon enough. That macro lens i bought a few weeks back had an awesome workout ;)

Yesterday was just a pottering day really, went up to one of the local shopping centres to buys lots of stuff :D Ended up getting myself an exercise bike... and i did 3km's on it this mornin quite easily so i figured i might need to change the resistance on it already lol

Bye Bye Bullseye!

So after 7 years, 4 months and however many days, i will finally be leaving Target on July 20th! I put in my resignation Monday after yet another week of dealing with BS there.

My manager was a child about it all, complaining that i only gave them 2 weeks notice to train someone else. I told him that they had 2 years to get someone else trained in the office (and after having me ask nearly everyweek for those 2 years you'd think they would have gotten the hint). So guilt trip aside, everyone else in the store is happy for me, they know how much crap i deal with out there, so much so the 2 people they asked on monday turned it down they've got 2 ppl interested in it after writing a note up on the staffroom noticeboard tho. So funny, they did "'blah blah' is leaving us" for the last 6 months, yet mine is only a notice of my job being advertised. Shows how childish my manager is being really. I think it's hillarious!

At the moment I don't have anything else to go to, but I've had some interest from 2 companies that i put applications in to, so we'll see how I go. I've got my payout from target coming when i go anyways so i'm not gonna be going on the dole and if i don't have something by time i go, i get a mini break :D
