So, ever since I became the stockroom manager at work, I see our UPS driver on the daily. His name is Ryan & he's one of the coolest guys I ever met. A few days ago, he was doing a delivery & I was outside with a shipment. He's in the back of his truck doing his thing & I'm cleaning up some cardboard pieces off the ground & we're just talking. He goes, "Eh Matt! Dis your last week ah?" I was like, "Yup!" Then he goes, "So wenz da pahteh?!!" He will just say stuff like that. Gets me through the day sometimes. Just cracks you up. It's cool because he's this short, bald guy & he's super mellow. We ended up talking about jobs. He always tells me how much he hates UPS & that it's bullshit. He always tells me that he wants to call it quits because he's tired of bussing his ass. But he's always like, "Y'know, I got bills... once I can get them under control & I can live comfortably, I gon leave & find another job." Then he goes, "Happiness is more important."

I stood there holding the broom & I smiled & I told him, "Fuck yeah!" I was so stoked to hear a guy like him, realize what life's about when it comes to stuff like this. It was definitely something to hear.

Then it made me think about my resignation. I'm bummed. Really bummed. Not going to lie about that. Everyday, I think to myself "did I do the right thing?" Today was my last day to work with Geri, my boss lady, whom I grew an amazing friendship with. I was pretty bummed. But y'know, what's done is done. I may not find another job as dope as being a stockroom manager at Vans, but I'll get over it in time. Keep my head up because I'm not going to live with regrets.
