oh my god... all this time and i finally have something to write about...
believe it or not (i'm still having a hard time with this) i actually have been offered a promotion at my job. i've never been promoted to anything at any job i've worked at. i've never stayed at one long enough to tell you the truth. and now after eight months at a job (yes this is a record for those of you keeping count) they are actually promoting me. i am dumfounded. i am jack's shocked disbelief.
so here i am now, offered an assistant manager position. sure, sure it doesn't sound like much. but after hopping from one job to another for the 6 or 7 years of high school and college just to keep from being bored (and completely broke) i am finally offered a position with just a smidgen of responsibility. am i scared?
hell yes.
and it's silly because i shouldn't be. i'm just so used to doing a job right and being happy with it that i've never really thought for two seconds about what my boss was thinking. all of a sudden they are talking inventory control, vendor responsibilities, training of new people, all that fun stuff. sure, i've been doing this all along at my job, but before if i messed up it was someone else's fault for letting me do it. now it's just going to be my job.
well, if anything though i am really happy about it. it is good to actually be rewarded for doing something right. it's been so long for me that i'd almost forgot what it felt like. and the pay increase will of course be a plus... assistant manager.
