Good and Bad News

[samcat409]

Well, I guess I can talk about the recent goings on now. I wanted to keep quiet for a while on something big that happened to me earlier in the week. It's both a good and a bad thing. I was at work on Tuesday night and Tabatha pounced on me whilst I was coming out of the bathroom. She asked me where I saw myself after the holidays, and I told her that I hoped to keep working there. She was like "that's a given" then went on to praise my hard work and how i took on things that i didn't have to but did anyway. She then mentioned how one of our customer sales leads (a lower manager) was going out on maternity leave sooner rather than later and asks me if i would like to step into that position. It would mean a dollar an hour raise and steady hours so I said yes. Oh my God, responsibility. HELP!!! I hope I can do this. I train next week and will be thrown to the wolves after that. It's a great thing that I've been promted. It just makes complications in certain areas. See, Red was passed over, and she's been there nearly 2 years. If I didn't need this so bad and was guaranteed that she would get the postion if I turned it down, I would have. I didn't want to lose my best friend over a job. I wasn't supposed to tell anyone, but I had to go ahead and tell her. She was upset and angry, but she told me that it wasn't at me. I feel really bad like I'm a horrible friend or something so maybe I'm not as excited as I should be.

Gonna go shopping with Faith tomorrow to get Brian's Christmas present. That should be fun.
I hope I can settle on what to get him by then. I guess that's it for now.
