(no subject)
So I have a sort of dilemma. I've been asked to work full time at another gamecrazy, away from the friendly faces of people that I've got to know of the last couple years. On one hand it's an excellent opportunity for advancement - they asked me over to Hollywood West (adjoined to the Hollywood Fred Meyers) to have a leadership role over their employees, and if I can help get the store back on it's feet then this shit looks great for me. It will be the second store I act as the assistant manager for (without the pay or title, of course).
Now here's the con. I work with two awesome guys at Rose City. I fucking helped train them, and part of me wants to stay and make sure they're alright. Obviously they can handle their own, but we have been a crew for a while and there have been times when I felt like the only people watching my back in the entire company were Jay and Anthony. I don't want this to turn into anything that can remotely seem like I ditched them for my own personal gain. Then there are the customers that smile when they walk in and see that I am there to help them. I've had customers tell my managers that I should be the manager (they are hardcore like that). Tomorrow could very well be my last day at Rose City, how long until they find out that I won't be around anymore? Like it's sappy and ridiculous, but it would be great for a little closure with some of those excellent people that I've had conversations with these last two years.
So here it is. I can stay or go, and I have to make a decision. I'll sleep on it, I guess - but I think I will take the position at West, with the caveat of being able to return if all goes to shit. I will remains friends with the guys I worked at Rose City with, maybe this way we'll have days off in common now. Hardly ever happened before.
Blah. Nothing to do but hope it's a good decision.
