a day in the life of prince_basil

Today I go into work feeling good. Its Thursday and I get paid tomorrow. So everything is all good. I get on register and just sit there while I wait for the customers to come.

Well, a manager named Matt comes over to me and we start talking. Some about him leaving came up and I stopped and looked at him. I was like, “Leave today off work or leaving Petsmart?” Of course, it was the one I dreaded the most, he’s leaving Petsmart. I asked him when and he tells me that tomorrow is his last day. I couldn’t believe it.

First it was a guy named Jon. Although I only worked with him for like a month or two, he still left. Okay, fine. I can handle that.

Next I find out a guy named David who works in the fish department is moving in August for school. He’s moving to Flagstaff so he can go to NAU. I’m sad because he’s an awesome guy and I really like him. But fine, whatever.

Then, this girl named Stacy all of a sudden doesn’t work at Petsmart anymore. Why? I don’t know the exact reason but I guess it was something to do with the groomers. So she’s not here anymore. Ugh! She was like my best friend at work. Honestly, I felt attracted to her too. She was sooooo awesome to work with and now she’s not there. Not cool. I really wanted to cry so bad. And I’m still not over it.

Not done yet. So there’s this girl, Katy. She’s a pet trainer. She’s awesome too. I love working with her. Well I found out she’s leaving Petsmart. But she’s not really leaving. See, we have a pet hospital in our pet store and its all the way in the back. She got hired for a position there but its not a part of Petsmart. She won’t be working for Petsmart, she’ll be working for Banfield, the pet hospital. Fine. It sucks but at least she just a few steps away. And we’ll still see each other.

Finally, Matt is leaving. He’s moving to Pennsylvania. Why? Because his girlfriend misses her family and well, he’s going to move back with her. WHAT?! This is ridiculous!! Matt is another employee I love working with. He’s so funny and sarcastic and I just… Like I want to cry. When Stacy left, he was there. And he has been since. Especially since he knows that Stacy and I were really close. I’m angry!!

Everyone is leaving. And even though I should be happy because I’m going to be getting more hours with less employees, I can’t help it. The employees that leave are the ones that I care for the most. All I have left is a manager named Shani who is amazing also. A petcare girl whose name is Ashlee and she’s awesome too. She another really great friend. And that’s it. If they leave, I’ll have no one.

I think maybe I need to start finding another job. Because, yes I know, you can’t expect to have someone there for the rest of their lives, but you don’t expect them to go so quickly either. It just saddens me and I guess that one of the problems I have. I get too attached to people and when they leave me, it hurts. But oh well, I guess I’ll have to deal with it. =( I’m going to miss Matt very much.
