A nice Tuesday morning in May and it’s been alomst a week since I’ve blogged.
In my head there’s parts of a post about the godawful mess that is the reports of prison abuses in Iraq at the hand of Americans but I am too drained & disgusted to put the whole thing together into coherence.
Today I am off. Tomorrow & Friday are my last two days at Aerosoles. I’m going out on a high note. The store just finished a second month in a row where it posted double-digit increases in sales over last year. If I weren’t so tired & burned out, I’d be really happy about that. But mostly I’m numb.
Current plan is to take a little time – something between an week and a month – to chill out and get my head back together. I can’t stay off work forever, so I’ll need to get a job again by sometime in June. As yet undecided is whether I’m going to look for a placeholder job to tide me over until I go back to school, or a ‘real’ job. I have to say, the though of just pulling coffee at Starbucks for a while has some appeal. After all the stress I’ve been going through, not having much responsibility for a while is more alluring than it used to be.
