I was convinced I was supposed to be in retail.

I was making decent money at Old Navy (this is mid 90's, btw), but there was a change in management. The whole mood of the store started to change and I wanted out. They were hiring for management, so I applied and got the job.

Pure hell.

I was "manager in training", but the only manager of the store that had a car, so I got picked to go to this managers retreat over the actual store manager. Oh yeah, can you give these other two complete strangers a ride? Mind you, I'd only been there about a week when this happened.

The very next week, the actual manager of the store called and quit over the phone, and told me if I was smart, I'd quit too.

This was the day before Thanksgiving. I ended up working open to close, seven days a week casue the GM sucked at finding me help. The day my daughter was being born, I called her that morning and told her I was at the hospital. She said "well, I expect you to be at the store in an hour to open it...find your own replacement for the day".

Easter weekend I'd had enough. Me and two other employess walked out of the store and left her there to fend for herself. She ended up locking the doors for the rest of the day.

Then I went to work at Journeys....LMAO
