last day at dominon
Jesus replied, 'Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.'
-Matt. 8:20
I just quitted my third and my longest lasting job in my employment history. I have been working at dominion for hmmm.....more than a year. I am not fresh obsessed nor am I much of a clean freak, but then again I was only a cashier there. I've always ... resented the job (didn't want to use the word "hate"), because of the long hours, low pay and no benefits. Ironically, I wanted to linger longer at my cash register on my last shift. I felt like losing part of me as I walked away from dominion wearing that stupid uniform for one last time. As my memories flashed back to me, I realized how much I have grown during this year. Those "wasted" hours standing around the cash register were not wasted after all, because I've met so many different customers and learned to please them, and afterwards realized that I cannot please them all. I have worked with many people and learned to accept the differences among my coworkers. I am not exactly the "cool kid" in school, so I found it incredibly hard to communicate with coworkers who are the same age as I am. The only two topics that interest me are God and school (maybe girl talks too :P), so the things that interest "cool kids" bore me to death. So here I was the most talkative person in school and church became the quietest person at work. Sometimes I can't even recognize myself, because my personality changes so fast from one group of people to another. My coworkers never had the honor to see the "crazy carol" and my close friends never had the privilege to see the "mature and timid carol". For the first time in my life (oh actually the second time), I felt like a stranger in the world, because I know that God will not be pleased if I join the gossip about my boss or open up a magazine during work. It has all been a test from the Lord, and I think I passed the test because I still don't fit in at dominion......
