I actually wasn't planning on telling Barry I'm leaving until I gave my notice on May 20th. But I had an opening today, so I told him. Paul from maintenance came up and asked a question:
Paul: Where's Chris Shar? I haven't seen him around.
Barry and I look at eachother.
Barry: He's not here anymore. *pause* (to me) Do you know if he's doing okay?
Me: Yeah, honestly he's glad to be out of here.
Barry: *nods* Yeah, Chris, and you too, seem too smart to be here.
Me: I guess this is as good a time as any to tell you, I'm going to grad school this Fall.
Barry: I know. Someone told me.
Me: Allison maybe? She wrote me letters of recomendation.
Barry: No, an associate.
Me: Well, I'm actually giving my notice May 20th... even thought school won't start until the Fall. I'm going to be travelling a lot this summer.
Barry: And you need time to relax between working full time and going back to school full time.
Me: Yes!
So, it was like I thought. He really doesn't care that I'm leaving. Or he's happy for me or something. And apprently he knew already, although he didn't know the exact date. I'm not surprised; I think about half the store (maybe more) knows I'm leaving. Although honestly, when he started his one sentence with "Chris ,and you too, seem," I thought he was going to say it seems like we hated it there. And we really both did (do). I was prepared to hear that. But maybe I hide it from the managers well. Who knows?
Also, Allison visted us today! Yay! I didn't even see her come up. I had been holding a shirt, and when I turned around to hang it up, she was there. I dropped the shirt on the counter, and was like, "Allison!!" I didn't realize how much I missed her until she came back. I had a big smile on my face, and I gave her a hug. She, Tara, Michelle, and I talked for several minutes. She's doing well, and she really enjoys her new job. I'm glad she's happy.
One other thing, and Lauren this will probably amuse you. Barry had me helping him do a floor move in IZOD today. Actually I think his exact words were that "the IZOD queen" should help him, lol. I was enjoying it, and I said something to him after he had teased me about something or other.
Barry: Hey, be nice or I won't let you play in IZOD anymore.
Me: That's mean!
(For anyone who's reading this and thinking, "WTF?" I LOVE the IZOD stuff we sell. I tend to talk about it... a lot...)
