Ambivalence

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference
~Niebuhr


After one bloody month of battle, what was the answer?

My manager Rachel called me the other day.

"Toshi"

"Yes?"

"I'm afraid I have some bad news for you"

I nodded slightly.

She continued, "The..other store is currently not accepting new transfers."

I took the news for two seconds, and I shrugged nonchalantly, "Oh. Okay"

"Strange, you don't look that disappointed..I thought you really wanted the transfer?"

I only smiled.

I already have another reason why I should stay in this store, and I think it is worth it. (^_^)
