Shortest job *ever*

I quit REI

after 13 hours of paid training, I quit. I chose to stick with VRMC for a job instead of delaying the inevitable (b/c I was slowly leaning towards them) and quit at 1:45 pm.

When I got to REI, the greeter at the door asked me if I had returns to make, seeing how I carried a brown paper bag with my REI vest and folder in it. I nodded and meekly answered "Yeah... sorta". He smiled, saying that he still needed to put a sticker on all items but when he saw what was in my bag, he lost his smile and looked at me with surprise. I just asked if the manager was in and went to "return" my items.

I could tell they were a little upset. Can't blame them. I would have been too if someone did this while I was manager.

Plus, even though I never made a verbal commitment that I'd stay for a few months, it all felt dishonest that I lead them on. They thought I'd stick around and be a contributing employee...

I should be ecstatic about working tomorrow (yes - tomorrow), but I'm really depressed and need a strong drink. Life is really weird sometimes - stranger than fiction for sure.
