Movin' on
Tomorrow I will embark on a new adventure in my life. I am excited and anxious at the same time. I had been with Galls for 11 years. That was a big chunk of my life. The last three years have been the hardest and the most stressful for me. When Billy was brought in and Ken was more or less forced to leave is when I became depressed. Ken was the best boss that I've ever had. He encouraged me so much and he pushed me to grow and told me I was capable and that I could do it. When he left at least there was Robin, but she wasn't the same as she had been. Something in her had changed and with Billy as her boss, she was powerless. And he was driving her crazy. I still haven't gotten over the fact they they let her go almost a year ago.
Because of Ken, I studied and received my CPIM and became a member of APICS. And these two things is what helped me to land my new job. My new boss emailed me on Friday to tell me she was excited for me to start and that I would be an asset to her team. It felt good to be appreciated and I haven't even started.
The past two months in the showroom have been interesting. I have had a lot of fun with the guys there. They were sad to see me go. They bought me a card and an icecream cake. I will always appreciate them for campaigning to Brian to hire me there. The last two months there was a nice respite from Inventory Planning. But I did learn that most men don't know their pants size and that many men bring their mother's to help them shop. And I came to remember how much I didn't like people in my face first thing in the morning. I began to hate seeing three fire trucks in the parking lot every morning.
I am grateful to God for making a way for me and helping to get out.
