title: dave actually did it, retired for real
type: notebook entry
Store's under new ownership as of this week — Dave's actually retiring, sold to a guy who seems fine, competent, a little less warm than Dave but that's a low bar for anyone to clear. Weird milestone. That job's been part of my life since I was seventeen.
New owner asked if I wanted to keep my hours. Said yes. Didn't overthink it. Some routines are worth keeping even when the reasons you started them have mostly stopped applying.
