No one lost their job, everyone was relocated to different stores including myself. The timing from when I was notified about the closing to when we locked the doors was very swift maybe a month which made me realize that my employer knew of this and withheld the info for a while. This situation reminded me of a quote that a friend of mine told me "You have to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed." I know now looking back that I was very comfortable at my job (5 years)and felt I was in a recession proof situation, but now I understand that there must always be a Plan B. My job disturbed my comfortability and used me to comfort my disturbed employees. I encourage everyone to stay uncomfortable until you are truly happy and even then look for more especially something YOU have built.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/970585132342857962-9064378234476839116?l=schultzreflects.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://schultzreflects.blogspot.com/feeds/9064378234476839116/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://schultzreflects.blogspot.com/2010/02/comfortability.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/970585132342857962/posts/default/9064378234476839116'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/970585132342857962/posts/default/9064378234476839116'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://schultzreflects.blogspot.com/2010/02/comfortability.html' title='Comfortability'/><author><name>Schultz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17800841364636964236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_evOJpElYyss/S0_HD8mp59I/AAAAAAAAASI/4W3c8buL9aY/S220/New+Years+Game+Night+031.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970585132342857962.post-5923448230274330925</id><published>2009-08-06T21:25:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-06T22:05:44.532-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Closets</title><content type='html'>Hello Internet world! I really do not know where to begin this is my first blog although I have had this account setup for quite sometime, I may ramble for my first few sessions so bear with me please and &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;thank you&lt;/span&gt;! I look at myself as a closet extrovert if that is possible I love having people around, I love to laugh and have a great time but I grew up very quiet and shy, always reading and imagining. I believe while in that "closet" (no pun) reading, I willed myself through the years into an alcohol drinking weed loving (not anymore) party animal with the alias "Dutch"&lt;---- high school nickname taken from the Jewish gangster Dutch Schultz. Now that I am passed 30 I dont cringe when friends call me by my fathers name Davino! I still love to read obviously more than writing. It feels as if blogging is a kind of diary that has a twist. Everyone can read it make comments and judge you in their minds, but in turn I guess the comments help you through your subject and triggers the reader to reflect on similar instances? Typing this does feel as if I am back in that closet again fantasizing that I am a character in the books in front of me. I guess it does provide a slight comfort albeit the millions of eyes that could potentially view this!  Shy party animal!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/970585132342857962-5923448230274330925?l=schultzreflects.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://schultzreflects.blogspot.com/feeds/5923448230274330925/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://schultzreflects.blogspot.com/2009/08/closets.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/970585132342857962/posts/default/5923448230274330925'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/970585132342857962/posts/default/5923448230274330925'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://schultzreflects.blogspot.com/2009/08/closets.html' title='Closets'/><author><name>Schultz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17800841364636964236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_evOJpElYyss/S0_HD8mp59I/AAAAAAAAASI/4W3c8buL9aY/S220/New+Years+Game+Night+031.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
