I asked for help.. and I got it.

That is a deliberately anticlimactic title.

Today I saw my manager, to talk about getting a transfer to another store, because working with my ex is taking a toll on me. I also said that I had Depression, so working at night has always been difficult.

My manager was really supportive. I tried not to cry the whole time, but I cried anyway LOL. She gave me the night off, and said she'll see what she could do, calling nearby stores to see whether they had any openings.

Literally seven hours later, she got back to me. A manager called her, saying that he needed people to work in the back dock in his store not far away from me. She put my name in, and asked me whether I could come in for an interview tomorrow.

Assuming everything goes well with the interview, I will achieve a MASSIVE turning point in healing from my breakup.

I was actually considering not coming in to see my manager, because I thought it was embarrassing, and I just needed to deal with it until I find a completely new job. I'm glad I didn't.. and I would encourage all of you to reach out for help if there is something someone can do.

I wanted her help on the practical issue, but it was also nice to have someone to talk to. I talk about it online all the time, but IRL I have been keeping it to myself for so long.

Thanks for listening to me talk about people listening!
