So I worked dark to dark yesterday. I did again today. And I will again tomorrow if the bug that's been sweeping through my coworkers doesn't land on me.
And I didn't get that management gig. Not really surprised. Basically it comes down to them wanting me to be a bit more familiar with the ins and outs of the store before I start running it. Fair enough. Unfortunately I may not be there long enough to learn.
My old buddy who left my old job before I did just called yesterday and he wants to get me a job back doing basically what it was I was doing before at a different place. Sadly, it is tempting. Having escaped that life, I am not terribly excited about jumping back in again, if they'd even let me. Apparently nobody likes working there but the pay is good. So there's that.
This year's New Year is going to be like no other. Already, I am preparing for major changes. It will be spectacular, most likely painful, and totally awesome. I feel like 2013 is going to be my year. Why? Can't say. Just a hunch. Maybe it's because of that crazy Mayan calendar. Just like to world to end on me when it's clearing going to be my year coming right up...
Too bad they passed you over for that management position, guess they want to make sure they brainwash any good ideas out of your head before they're willing to put you in authority. Did they give any hint at all about other future opportunities, or are they going to string you along with false assurances for three years?
ReplyDeleteDon't know what to tell you about that other job prospect. On one hand, it seems like you'd just be going back to the same type of thing you were trying to escape. On the other hand, my experience says that it is possible to be happily surprised. When I took my current job, on the outside it looked just the same as my previous horrible job, but once I was in, I came to learn that the culture is completely different and it's a world apart from my old crappy job. But I never would've known one way or another before actually taking the job, so... like I said, don't know what to tell you. Useless, as always...
