i had my last KFC shift on thursday - gotta say, had pretty mixed feeling starting the shift, because the whole process was so familiar, you know? come to work, get changed, and just do your job. it's nice to just be able to do stuff without having to ask, to just totally know what you're doing.
but then, familiarity isn't the same as liking it, and it doesn't outweigh the fact that it's over an hour's commute for minimal pay to do a stressful lunch-hour shift and deal with shitty customers.
i got into a routine in the summer holidays, for nearly two months i was just working like 4 or 5 days a week, and it was great, i had nothing better to do with my time and it was good to have somewhere to be...but then uni started, and i had like over 2 weeks without a single shift, and then i had to come to work once a week on my day off, and it was just annoying because hey, a whole day wasted for a 3-hour shift.
i realised it didn't fit in my life anymore, nowhere near a priority, just really annoying. i can see why people get summer jobs now, that's basically all it was.
no regrets leaving.
