Working my way up the corporate ladder!

I get this call yesterday from Velma, assistant to the Hampton couple who decided not to hire me for the Summer (their loss)! Anyway turns out that the chef they hired had a tragic event happen last week. His girlfriend was in a bad accident and in critical condition. They had not heard from him, so Velma's boss thought it would be a good idea to call me and see if I could come fill in on a weekly basis. I'm not kidding! Oh yeah sure let me drop everything I'm doing, load up the car and show up so that you can fire me in a week....HA! I politely declined :)

Anyway, I had my meeting with the GM at work today and it looks as is I will be moving up. My new title is going to be "retail manager" which will mean a pay increase. I actually already had that title. It was more a case of the non spoken word......It's kind of interesting how I saw that opportunity and ran with it. It's so unlike me to be so bold and aggressive about it. But I've learned to go after what I want, and if a door opens, run through it! I'm probably going to become a Sodexo employee, which will mean more opportunities and better benefits, for me and David. Yeah Lutherans are not to big on domestic partner benefits:)

So my goal for the next 30 days is to continue increasing sales, make the place enjoyable and make good food!
