Not wrong - you advised me to be cautious and that has served me well. I've been very careful in the career decisions I've made due once again to your solid advice. Funny how the first time you changed my life it was by advising me to be less afraid and be more reckless and follow my heart, the second time was to be cautious and both have served me exceedingly well.

Take heed peoples! When SVS gives you life advice, she knows what she's talking about. :srrsnod:

But yea, svs, so far so good. I'm making more money than I made at the club. I mostly like if not love the work I do with the people I do it with. I mean, sure I have streaches of hating everything and everyone. I still wish my staff would be the grown up responsible adults I know they can be. (For realz, one of my drivers doesn't even call me by name. It's Ma! Ma! Ma! every time she has to ask me something. I'm like you have CHILDREN 2 years younger than my CSR's. Be the grown up responsible woman I know you are! ) I still hate the majority of my customers, but there are good ones to balance that out too. And - it seems I'm moving up the ladder slowly but surely. I'm catching everyone's eyes higher up. And that's pretty cool. You know how I am, the praise is nice and a personal motivator but results are becoming my bread and butter. I've made it clear that I want more than the job I currently have. And I'm starting to see the results of that.

I'm promoting one of my kids who works inside the store to being a crew chief which means that occasionally he will run a shift but mostly do what he already does and be a relief pitcher when I need him to be. He gets a raise for the title but the selling point to him? You're already doing 3/4's of the job. You might as well get paid for it. I love this kid so much. I hired him, but I didn't train him. One of my AM's did. My newest CSR? I hired her. My new crew chief trained him. My joy, my moments I MOST love my job is seeing my crew chief's pride in the fact that the new CSR is doing so well and he knows he trained her. He's already taking pride in her success, not his. He will be a great GM someday.

Thanks again for all the well wishes. It appears my boss is trying to get me a raise. Should know by Tues if it gets approved or not. The guy running the city says I'm my boss's MVP and that he should "keep her happy." :D Yea!

Congratulations nutella!! It's a huge achievement and you should be very proud of yourself. Can't wait to hear what your plans are after your degree (a Masters perhaps?). I swear it seems like it was just yesterday when we were seeing you off in IRC to your freshman year and now you're a grad. Happy days!

No matter how successful anyone is, it means just about nothing.

I'm now officially finished with all coursework... forever. Can't believe it. Definitely hasn't fully sunk in yet, but I've been waiting for this moment way too long. :D

Now onto the next portion of the PhD program -- 2nd year paper, then studying for comprehensive exams! 2 years down, hopefully 2 to go (perhaps 3). :nicenod:

I just got a 3% raise on my yearly salary. It's not a OMG ASSTON of money, but raises at my level of employment are rare as I have a job that get's raises by making a bonus check. This is every bit "You're doing great, we want to keep you happy because we want to get you ready for other things."

Also - with my raise, my boss told me more things I shouldn't know about my fellow GM's. Specifically people who are being fired and WHO he wants to put in their place. Because everything has to go through channels - I told him - "tell those kids to get ahold of me. I just did the interview a year ago - what everyone else is looking for is fresh in my head. I can help them with the paperwork they need to do. I will prep them and it's one less thing you have to worry about."

It was pointed out to me that maybe I'm being cut into the things I shouldn't know about because I'm being groomed for the job. I agree with that. And will add that I'm being cut into the info because also I've proven I'm on team my area. Because I've been told things before I don't talk about. And because I've made it known I don't want to stay where I am. I want to move up - I want to do better.

TBH - my boss would be a fool to put anyone else where I'm sitting in the role I'm doing.

6 years ago, when I was alone and living in Ohio - I didn't think my life would be anything more than the day to day things I did. Things that in hindsite I learned were noticed and appreciated but for whatever reason both in my own head and in the heads of the hometown - just weren't recognized. In a small town, you have your role - you play it - and YOU learn it early and YOU hold you back more than anyone. 6 years ago, I NEVER thought I'd be running basicly my own business. I'd have laughed in your face if you told me I was aspiring to learn how to run more than one business at a time.

It's amazing what the love of a good man, (and yes he is MY big damn hero :noble:),a change of sceenary, long talks with a HR rep who is a freind and helps you learn how to evaluate yourself fairly and several well placed kicks in the ass from SVS can do for a gal!

Well, as some of you may or may not know, I have been renting from one of my brothers for several years, then he had to sell his house due to divorce. So having to worry about having to move to probably a more affordable area further from my job, keeping the house perfect for real estate,etc., has been a huge stress on me. So the house finally just sold, but the new owners want to keep me at a VERY reasonable rent (all that housekeeping paid off) for the area I live. My brother will get enough out of it that even after splitting it with the evil witch ex wife, he can afford to get a decent condo also not far from HIS job. So I am enjoying house hunting for him since *I* don't have to move :haha:

So yay for all that being over, and for it resolving well in the end :)

Sounds like everything worked out to the best of all parties! How often does that happen (not often enough!).

I know, right? The past year and a half while the house was on sale, I tried super hard to always have my apartment be perfect for buyers because it was for my brother, but it was hard too cause him getting the closure he needed by selling the house meant I would have to move and apartments are even more expensive in New York than Finaldn. Plus dog & cat plus I work in a ritzy town.

So yeah, everyone won,and that never happens :)

Thanks all :hugs:
