Lemme tell you bout the way she looked...
A few weeks ago I applied for a promotion to management on a whim. I haven't been here very long and don't have all that much experience, but I know my shit. So I didn't think I'd get it, but I figured it would be worth applying for. Last week I had an interview. And today...?
I GOT THE JOB!
Holy crap. This is officially the first time I've ever had a promotion in my life. I usually get fired or quit before something like this could happen.
So, starting officially on 9/11, I will be moving to the 3pm-11:30pm shift Monday - Friday as a supervisor. In the next 5 months I will have to get my series 4 and 24 licenses. I hear the 24 is a beating, but I'll have to suck it up and just do it.
I really can't wait to move. Ever since my team found out I'm leaving, I'm sort of an outsider. No one talks to me much or asks me questions. I just sort of sit here and answer my e-mails and...exist.
Also, and I KNOW I'm acting like a 5-year-old here...One of our teammates got the senior rep position on our team (same level as me) and he's already being trained. I gotta admit I'm a little jealous. We used to be the go-to reps on our team for everything. We entered mutual fund tickets, trained newbies, trained new traders on their first trades, coached and mentored, answered questions. Now HE has taken over all of that and I...once again, just sort of sit here and answer my e-mails and exist.
I guess I'm just ready to move on. Get off this shift, start learning my new job and see where it takes me. But I still have 5 shifts left. 50 hours. There's no better feeling than just sort of being THERE for 50 hours. I think I'm just too excited. I need to calm down, take a deep breath and be thankful for the peace and quiet I'm getting for the next 2 weeks because after that, my life will be hectic workwise for a looong time.
