I have been trying to come up with some solid, irrefutable reason to give my boss as to why I am quitting. So far, no luck. But I have managed to grow a bit of a backbone and I recently informed him that I am leaving in a month. He didn't take it so well (seriously, begging?!). I guess my puny excuses weren't as irrefutable as I had thought. This whole mess of a job is starting to resemble a bad abusive relationship that I can't disentangle myself from. I know that I can get another job, a better paying one, but for some reason... I stay.
My boss is adamant about keeping me, wanting me to write down a figure that will make me stay. It's not just the money (and I'd like to think that my decision can't be dissuaded by an impressive hourly pay and that I have more integrity than that), but the overall experience is getting old. It's time to leave ice cream behind and maybe concentrate on a different skill, something more mature, and start to build up my resume. I'm sure the store would do fine without me.
And so I am officially breaking up with K*Scoops. Hopefully it will be an amiable one and we can remain friends.

Good luck with that Gie, I suck at quitting jobs too. but if i was able to leave two jobs...im sure u can do it too!
