Nov. 13th, 2012 11:18 pmAbout a week ago, my boss texted me. Basically she asked what my thoughts were on being promoted to assistant manager, or store manager, as there are a lot of openings coming up here soon. I mean, !!!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP. I don't take this lightly, as my boss is the epitome of an anal control freak. Which, hey, is mostly good for making sure our store runs properly, but can be veeeery wearing. But the fact that she considers me ASM/SM material? I'm pretty freaking flattered.
Alas, I've been thinking about it for a good while, and I don't think I'm gonna take the position. Not right now, anyway. For a couple of reasons. One being that customer service is wearing on me mentally, physically, and emotionally more and more each day. I honestly dread having to deal with people nowadays. Which leads me to wonder if I'll ever find a job that I truly enjoy, seeing as how I hate office work so much. BUT anyway, I was getting comfortable with the idea of leaving Starbucks again, so a managerial position is prooobably not in my best interests right now.
Besides, I'm doing this little thing like moving to NYC? In March? Hopefully? So that would interfere with my plans for that. Ha. I'd also really really like to actually do something about having a career instead of just a job, and hopefully NYC will take care of that, too.
I didn't outright ask, but I think it's fairly well implied that if I ever DO decide to come back to Starbucks or do want the managerial position, my boss will totally give me the recommendation for it. So. Good fallback plan, I guess!
I am SO excited for Friday. A couple of friends and I are going to visit another friend that just had a baby, and then we're off to Orlando for the Christmas extravaganza at Disney World. Fingers crossed that everything goes according to plan. AND THEN on Tuesday of next week, my parents and I are driving to Atlanta to pick up my sister at the airport, and then staying with family for Thanksgiving. COLD WEATHER YAY. Also 20+ family members in one gathering! Should be exciting, and hopefully minimal amounts of awkward. Fingers crossed for snow lololol.
