(no subject)
I haven't posted in a while, yes. This is because I asked myself not to post if there isn't any good news. So I finally have some gewd news and thus, a reason to post. :D
If you read my journal, you read Missy's journal, (or so I assume) so most of you already know that she got a job. This is most awesome and superior. We've had a townhouse/apartment picked out for a while now, and have just been waiting to be able to afford the move. Now, we're going to be able to get oot, and that makes us most joyful.
Well, there is more good news. I was at work yesterday, and my two boss-managers pulled me into the back-room for an intervention. Interventions with multiple bosses are always scary, since no matter what is going on, you think you're going to get yelled at. Here it was actually just the opposite. See, our store has been training new managers for quite some time, and our main trainee manager is finally ready to leave to get his own store. His absence would have left a hole in our managerial roster, so the big guys decided to offer the open Assistant Manager position to me. I accepted it, needless to say. It's more pay with not-terribly-more responsibilities, so I am super happy about it. My boss immediately charged me with several new tasks, including hiring a low-tier manager to replace the position I left.
Unfortunately, awesome as this all is, I got deathly sick the same day, so I'm sitting here at home on my day off with a nasty ruttin' cold-flu-thing. Thank the stars for Thera-Flu. Space plague aside, Missy and I are thankful for our recent good fortune and hope to be out in our own place within two months.
...I'm totally buying a huge television.
