My Life Thus Far

Maybe I'm Not Ready

***

Really, I have nothing to write about this weekend. At
least not so far. I hate that today is a carbon copy of so
many other Saturday's I've had. The only difference being
Gen and I met for coffee, which we don't normally do on
weekends (but have been doing more often) and took the
girls to McDonald's for dinner. Unless I take an active
role in changing my days, nothing interesting happens
otherwise. I didn't write last night, because I was just
too tired and didn't feel like it. Sorry.

Yesterday was a pretty good day for the most part. Work
went well (even though Tamara is treating me differently
and is saying things like "We value you so much here"
and "we want to keep you on", "so, how would you feel
about moving up in the company?") I can feel that things
are on the verge of changing. Call it intuition. Kim wants
to step down, they're complaining about Kelly's
performance as a CSL and quite a few girls are
being "coached", which is a term they use when they're
trying to change unwanted behaviors, but aren't getting
anywhere and really just want to fire them. I feel like a
tiny twister is spinning around me and I'm in the eye.
Nothing bad is happening to me, but I'm watching it all
around. For once, I can honestly say the drama isn't
affecting me and I'm as happy as can be there. I love
Victoria's Secret.

I asked Snookums what he thought about me taking on a
managerial position and he thinks it would be a good idea.
As CSL, I wouldn't be required to work more than 25-30
hours (what I'm working already, basically) and it would
be a step up for me, that's for sure. Who doesn't like
moving up in life? Snookums thinks I'd be really suited to
the position. Gen thinks it might be too much for me at
this point in my life. She's got a valid point. I like
things the way they are now. I don't have much
responsibility at work and nothing is on my shoulders
(other than credit, which I can handle). Maybe I'm not
ready. They kept me for my on-call even though it wasn't
busy and included me in all sorts of decision-making I'd
never been asked about. Like if I thought PINK sweats
should be folded or hung. Speaking from the experience of
being on the sales floor, I went with folded, because
clients were having a hard time reaching them when they
were hung so high.

Anyhow. I just wanted to jot down a few words, lest my
readers think I forgot about them. I'm kidding. I'm going
beddy-bye now. I'm getting very sleepy...Ciao.
