Nearing the End of My McDonald's Experience
Sunday is my last day of work at McDonald's. Going on nearly six years of working there it is going to be a big thing leaving there. It is hard to imagine how well I know some of the people I work with. There are a number of people who have been there since before I started as well as a number of people who have worked quite a bit of that time. Many of these people I know almost their complete life stories and how they feel about so many things. I know these people better than my own family. So it is hard to just say "Bye" and just leave. But it needs to be done. I have to remember that this is just a small phase of my total life. While right now, this job seems like everything there is, many years from now those six short years will seem insignificant. I can tell this as when leaving high school almost four years ago, :O at that time it seemed so crazy not to see these people that I had spent the past 13 years with no longer. But only a short time later, school seems like a distant memory and I really do not miss anyone. I still am friends with Patrick, and I still see a few other people from time to time. But that's it. All just a distant memory, as my years at McDonald's will still be.
Anyone who is reading this might be wondering why I am reflecting back at my years at this fast food job almost in a positive way. Well, I am, but not the actual job itself. It's the co-workers who made it a great place to be. Not all of them, and probably not even the majority. I guess eventually you just block out the negative and the whole crappy work day is hidden from long term memory. I mostly just remember the good times, and the funny times. There are so many things that happen there, involving employee's or customers. Lot's of unbelievable stuff. And no, there is no memories of people spitting on food, or picking up food off the floor and serving it. I have never seen anything like that happen.
Maybe I will post some of the memories that stick out, but not today. Today the whole thing will me leaving has really started to come to reality. Today was the last night that I would close, which is what I usually do. It was also the last time I would work with some people like Bob and Pat. It's weird to think I will never work with them again. So, this is all really coming to reality inside my head, and I have to get ready for the next step in my life.
Future, here I come!
