Wow
what a couple days. Ok, where the hell do I start. One, I got my promotion yesterday. Had a falling out with an associate when I was told to keep him busy, he didnt' feel I was the person to do that since I wasn't lead. I told my manager that I basically got lead position yesterday, or I was going to another store to get it. I got it. :O)
Yesterday afternoon, I seen a lady in a bright pink clown outfit. I mean a completely decked out clown. I told Brent at work that if he asked the clown what she was doing, I'd give him an extra break. To my suprise, he did. Her story was suprisingly boring, she was a pro clown, had to get supper for the kids, didn't have time to change.
Sorry I haven't blogged more, but I've been working from 5am to 6pm every day, pulled 47 hours last week and my goal is no less than 60 hours this week with a maximum of 73 hours. If I pull off at least 65 hours this week, I'll gross over $1k on my next paycheck. That'll be sweet. I'm so going for that.
Today was my first full day as lead, it was fun, especially since my assistant manager wasn't there today, so the department really was mine. I didn't have any unexpected troubles and the day went really smooth. I was kinda stressed out cause I'm known for being very strict at work, especially when I'm in charge but I'm trying to take it easy right now so as not to cause everyone to rebel against me. I'm looking forward to the challenge.
My current goals are to be lead for one year and in the spring of 2006 apply for the Asst. Manager program. Then I'll be making enough money (hopefully) to support myself and my g/f without her having to work.
Well, I think this blog entry is long enough.
Sincerely,
Goliath

well, congrats on your promotion. it seems like some people just get luckier than others. if i would have been in your shoes, i wouldn't have gotten that promotion..guarantee ya.
Well, not to be cocky, but it wasn't luck. I was definitely the most qualified individual. I'd been a lead at my last store, I met all the min req's for a promotion, I know more about my department than any other person withhe possible exception of my manager, and I have a personality type that people tend to promote.

Goliath
maybe so....
