You get the best of both worlds


The weather makes me want to curl up and read a good book while sipping hot chocolate :] and i don't even enjoy reading. I think this winter is going to be a sad one: leaving all my libby lu friends behind. I lovee my job (even though i would rather be doing other things sometimes). I would always talk about how I could be a manager there or a senior club counselor one day, not knowing it would all come to a halt. I know I couldn't work there forever, after all they only pay minimum wage, but still... i wasn't ready to give it up quite yet. I don't know where else i can work and get to sing and dance to hannah montana all day. I signed my severance papers saturday and there was a letter that said "It is with heavy heart that I announce Sak's incorporated's plan to discontinue operations of Club Libby Lu and its 98 locations by early 2009." Reading this almost put me in tears. I was the first employee to find out. On Thursday last week a lady came in in a panic and asked if it was true that we were closing down, and my manager mumbled a yes. I don't think she wanted me to hear, but I decided to go on break right away and tell everyone. Then I asked her about it and she said that we were supposed to find out on saturday, but its all over the news. Our letter that we each received went on to say "as we enter the holiday season...let's ensure that we keep our mission alive of making every little girl that visits Club Libby Lu feel like a very important princess." It makes it hard for me to want to go to work because I know the end is getting nearer and nearer and I'm becoming more and more attached to the people there. I even had a breakdown on saturday. I kept saying it was this or that, but I know deep down I was experiencing/hating change. I don't know where I'm going to work, or if I'll have as much fun at my next job and it's really worrying me, but I guess it's times like these that I have to let go and just be faithful that it's meant to be.
