After eight years with The Home Depot, a navigation through the aisles of the Big Orange Box from temporary cashier to assistant store manager, I finally cut the tape. They say that retail is soul-crushing. And at times they're right. The missed weekend excursions to Utah or Montana or to float the Rio Grande, Thanksgiving dinners usurped by the Blackest of Fridays, College Gameday presented by The Home Depot taunting me before my shifts scheduled to start precisely at the same time as Michigan football kicked off. And of course there were some unpleasant customers along the way.
What they don't say though, the sayers of these things, is that you'll learn that you're not shy after all, and that you're a natural leader, and that anyone and everyone-even the cashier at The Home Depot-is on the cusp of making or breaking someone else's happiness at any given moment. Retail taught me mountains about myself and about the intricacies of human interaction that will stay with me in all that I do.
So, I didn't quit The Home Depot because it was retail. I moved on from The Home Depot because I have an intense need to help, to inspire, to teach, and to communicate with others-but particularly to do so through written word. I moved on because selling my time to The Home Depot was not my calling. Instead, I've chosen to sell my mind by way of copy writing, web content writing, article and blog writing, as well as editing and proofreading.
