To quit or not to quit?

That moment when you have to choose between your job and your happiness...

Looks like a telemarketer too

I quit my telemarketing job and honestly? It was the best decision I've ever made. I only stayed so long because I was making money. But I'm back to serving at Chili's and in the past week (I only worked 3 nights) I made almost $400. I'm so much happier not working the telemarketing job. It's not for everyone. And let me tell you, it certainly is NOT for me. When my manager booked an old man who told me he has "millions" and didn't even know what I was talking about and I had to repeat myself 100x for one specific thing I knew this wasn't right. So I put the old man on mute and gave the phone to my manager and told her that he would book but I didn't think it was right to book him because he clearly didn't know what was going on. SHE BOOKED HIM. Robbed him of his money in my opinion. Then got off the phone and made me feel like a piece of shit because I didn't book him. I knew right then and there that I didn't belong there. Because I have a heart and a conscious. And when it came down to it? I'd have it no other way. I put my two weeks in the next morning. Turns out that when the confirmations department called to confirm his booking, the son of the old man answered and he told the girl confirming that his father has diagnosed Alzheimer's and has $9,000 to his name and is 90 years old and that he felt that us booking him was wrong. I agree and I KNEW IT. My gut feeling, that booking this old man was wrong, was exactly right.

Staying in a job that only brings you so far down that you dread waking up and going to work every single day is only going to make your life THAT much harder and that much more depressing. I'm so happy with serving. It's so satisfying to walk out of there after 9 hours of constant running around and getting so overwhelmed from time to time with your hard earned $200 in hand. I make conversations with tables, I'm personable, talkative, fun, energetic... it's all around just such a better environment. I also basically work alone. I mean it's supposed to be team work but the only person I go out of my way to help is my assigned "section partner" and I honestly like it a lot better that way. Don't get me wrong I'm a team player and I help anyone who needs it but only a select few really go out of their ways to help. There's a couple of caddy and nasty girls that I work with but I stay far away and just do what I have to do to make it through the day and that's it! I'm not there to make friends I'm there to make money and that's exactly what I do.

Let me just add - Less than 3 weeks from today and my handsome man is home. I just cannot wait to wrap my arms around him. I'm so in love and so happy to start the next chapter of this relationship. Everything feels so positive right now and I just hope it continues on this path.
