Demoted and it feels good

Well the time since my last post I have had some big changes. I was moved to a different store that had even more problems than my old store had. It didn't help that my boss kept using word "craphole" when talking about the store. My first day at the new store I was told that I could be fired because of the numbers my old store ran my last week. I knew that those numbers had been faked, but I have no proof and my boss didn't believe me. After 2 days of not knowing if I would still have a job the next day, I told my boss I was demoting myself. I have hated this position as long as I had had it and couldn't do it anymore.

So two weeks later I was demoted officially, although I was the last to know. I was moved to the store I started at and I am so much happier. I actually have days off. For the last year I worked at least a few hours of everyday. The first week I was in heaven, I only worked the 48 hours I was scheduled instead of the 70 plus hours I have been doing. I have returned to working under my old boss who is very hands off instead of the micromanaging that I have had for so long.

Steph noticed the difference right away. I am not this stressed out beaten down wreak anymore and I feel good about my life again. I am still looking for a new job, but I can at least live with one I have now.
