David Bowie vs. Bon Iver

Well, this is gonna be long... I work(ed) as an assistant manager at a grocery store and I was just finishing up an eight and a half hour shift of running the entire front end (cashiers, baggers and customer service stuff) by myself on one of the busiest and craziest days of the year, the day before Thanksgiving. One of my coworkers asked if they could go on their lunch break because they were leaving within the next 50 minutes (per state law you HAVE to give your employees a half hour lunch before they leave if they've put in more than 6 hours that day). Since there was finally a lull in the front end, I told them they could go on lunch break and that I'd stay a little while longer until she got back. One of the three head managers, (the one that no everybody hates, but who I'd never had a problem with previously) showed up and started getting in my face about letting her go and I continually kept my cool and told him that this was the perfect time for her to leave and that I was just doing my job and that I was going above and beyond by staying behind when I easily could have left the problem to the other assistant manager who was just now arriving. He got out of my face for a while and I went back to work until the girl I'd sent on lunch got back. After that I went to clock out and saw the manager who'd gotten in my face standing in his office doorway and gesturing with a condescending figure wag for me to come into his office. I knew right then and there that I was gonna quit at that very moment, but I went in to his office to see what he was gonna say. Without me realizing it, one of the other managers, one who I'd always gotten along with very well, followed me into the office because she saw that something was about to go down. The other manager, aw screw it, his name was 'Jack', closed the door behind us and then asked, "Do you know why I got in your face out there?" His tone was still condescending as ever... I told him to, "Enlighten me," as I leaned up against his office wall. He started getting red in the face and blew up again (bear in mind I'm NEVER rude or stuck up with anyone, so this whole thing was totally out of character for me). He then started yelling at me about how, "I wouldn't be in my current position much longer if I kept making stupid decisions like that!" At this point I realized the other manager was with us too when I heard her voice behind me apprehensively say, "Jack..." in an attempt to stop his rant. Before either said anything else though I said, "Well Jack, you're not gonna have to worry about that any longer, because I quit." I took off my name tag, threw it on the floor of his office and walked out the door. Apparently several other employees had heard what was going down and actually started cheering me on as I left the store. The other manager was calling out my name all the while asking me, 'not to leave' as I was walking out the door. Now, whenever I go back there to shop or see old coworkers they treat me like some kind of hero haha. Holy shit that was long-winded....

Nope, never been. I'm waiting for the next album. If I really like the album, I'll buy tickets. Didn't think MX was really worth it. SQ
