They got me a cake, which was very yummy, and they also got me a special going away present.
I love this bag! And it's big enough to hold my laptop! There were also some add-on goodies, like a card holder and some really cool colored pens. I love office supplies, and Angy and Jacques really knew what they were doing when they picked everything out for me.I'm ready to hit the ground running. I have a new bag, a new phone, and some new pens!! There's no stopping me now!
I think this week might be kind of hard for me at Deerbrook. In the past, whenever managers or employees have moved on, I've always taken on the attitude of "I'm happy for you and I hope you have great luck in the future. You're great! Now, move out of my way because I have a store to run and you're just taking up space." So, that's what I feel like. I feel like I'm just biding my time until October 1, and until then I'm just drawing it out and keeping the current staff from moving on. I know it's kind of weird, but it's how I feel.
It's a weird time for Deerbrook. Jacques and Emma are cafe training for the next two weeks, and I probably won't be able to work with either one of them before I leave. Our Merchandise Managers are about to switch up assignments a bit, an no one knows how they're changing. So, I'm being questioned about certain changes the store is going through, and I'm unable to answer! Plus, you have my replacement in the mix. Anyway, I just feel like I'm unable to help.
But that's not stopping me from getting excited about my future! I've been pretty unhappy with my professional life for the past year or so. Now, I think it's about to get on track. My personal life is still as fucked up as it ever was, but now maybe I can focus on my new store and my new job, and hopefully all of my personal bullshit will take care of itself. You know, I had a really good run with my personal life. Everything was good for many, many years actually. I remember thinking at one point a couple of years ago "Wow! For the first time ever I really feel HAPPY!" Well, I guess I was due an ugly spot.
I'm choosing to believe that I'm on the right track to happiness again. I've achieved my next goal as far as work goes, and I've lost weight. So, I'm just going to keep on keepin' on and we'll see where I end up, eh?

Nice bag! Is it a Franklin Covey? It kind of looks like one. It sounds like they gave you a nice little party. Have you been over to check out the new store yet? I'm thinking since you'll be working in a more central location, we could actually have lunch or something once you're settled in. My chances of being near your new store are a lot more than being near Deerbrook mall.
You also need to wait till you can afford it and then get yourself a wireless headset for your cell phone. Nothing makes you feel more important than a wireless headset!! Then you're really moving on up!

Ummm...Yeah, I just checked the label and it's a Franklin Covey. I love it so much!! It's the nicest bag like that I've ever had.
I haven't been to the store yet. I have mixed feelings about going before Monday. I'll see how I feel this weekend.
Everyone keeps telling me about all of the cool restaurants/bars down in that area, so we'll def have to do lunch as long as I have the coverage!
if you go look at your store- just drive by- don't go in- wait until monday-trust yourself on those mixed feelings!! :)
