Archived I am officially....

A guest!!!! Wooooohoooooooo! I punched out at the end of my shift today and happily announced.. I'm Freeeeeeeeeeeee! Feels soooo good =)

Fly on you Fallen Angel.
Be free and feel the air beneath your wings.

But return to us and report the new life you have found.

Congrats on your escape! Best of luck to you in your future endeavors.

Congrats!

I've often wondered about TMs who have just worked their last shift.....does anyone yell a "so long Target" as they leave the store?

When I left for my LOA I really wanted to shout "I'm outta here and won't be back for 6 weeks!!" However, I'm afraid that if I said that, then my LOA would have become permanent!!

I would be a little tempted to go out like this, although the odds of the few people who would actually deserve that being in TSC at that point is unlikely.

Update -

So far I'm lovin' the new job. I'm working with elderly people, going to their homes and assisting them with the basics, light housework, laundry, shopping. Its nice to feel appreciated, and I've met some pretty nice people so far. I've been all over the place as my schedule is getting set & adjusted (by me.. great perk of this job.. I set my schedule/hours, not some computer) to be more efficient for both myself and the clients. So it's been a bit hectic. But it's nice to not be stuck in a little cage (aka the register) for hours a day. I'm with clients anywhere from 1 to 3 hours per client, then on to the next. Some of the nicer ones I almost feel bad I get paid for. I have a couple that don't want much done, but just want to sit and chit chat. So we hang out, drink a coke and talk. And I get paid. I've only had one bad experience so far, and that was a woman who lived in a hair salon. I was trying to find her "house" and gps was telling me I was there. Finally I called her and she said she was inside the salon. Uhm.. ok then. So I go in, and she's not elderly, but clearly has some... errr.. mental issues? Which we service some mentally disabled people as well. She wanted me to clean her hair salon. And told me that "we could work something out, like a free hair cut" Um... yeah NO. I don't think so. So I told her that she needed to meet with her case manager for a better idea of what I could actually do for her. She got mad. I left. But I figure one crazy person out of a weeks worth of new clients, that's not a bad deal. Best part is, all I had to do was tell my boss.. "yeah this one isn't a good match" and just like that, its not my client anymore. I have a great boss, who actually LISTENS and appreciates and uses my input. And getting a weekly paycheck is wonderful!

I actually have to make a trip to Spot sometime this week for some odds and ends. It's gonna be weird being a guest lol!

Don't wear r & k as a guest....

oh HELL no lol. My r&k is balled up at the bottom of my laundry hamper. I haven't decided if I want to throw them away, or if I'll save them for when it gets cooler out and wear them to work (separately of course!) at my job now. Where there's cleaning/laundry involved, it's better to wear clothes you don't care about because of the possibility of bleach or other stains from cleaning.

Nope when I hit Spot it'll be in my comfiest tank top, shorts and flipflops lol. Not a chance I'll be mistaken for a TM =)

You gonna have a red-n-khaki bonfire?

I do like the idea of a flash mob of about 50 former TMs in red and khaki going into a store and helping guests.
I could see some serious freak outs from the ETs.

That's about how many people quit from my old store this year. The STL was fired some months back so the new one wouldn't even know who we are..lol

Shoot, 5 people showing up in red and khaki to help guests would be a flash mob for my store

At least, the reshop & zoning would be done for that night.
