Happy Dance!
Things are so up and down lately, its been hard to stay still long enough to write anything let alone an update on my life. I'm still working at Gamestop and after a little incident, which Jeremy apologized for, I'm OK with it. Everything is still all crazy since he's running both stores, but hopefully not for long.
Well the main reason I've decided to write anything was because of what happened today. I was on my way out and saw Kelly in Icing so I decided to say hi, and she starts talking to me. At first it was an innocent little, 'oh help me pick out a PS2 game for my brother?' which then turned into a job offer. She wants me to go back to Icing as a third key. I'd be getting over 20 hours a week, and I'd be management which will look so awesome on my resume and future applications! The only downside to it is she couldn't get me 9 an hour. She got them up to 8.50 (I think) but I don't think I'll see $9 an hour until I get bumped up to Assistant Manager (that is IF I stay there long enough).
Well I told her I'd think about it since I wanted to see what Jeremy had planned for me. Cause if he could get me promoted there would be no way I'd want to be getting paid less to work someplace I didn't really like working at.
Well she said talk to Jeremy so I went over to the other store and talked to him, he said he would keep me on as a GA at the store and schedule me when I wasn't working at Icing since he can't promote me now. He says the company is only letting him hire on GA's to get the stores picked up before he can promote people, so I told him if he got permission in the future I would take the SGA position at the store and stay with Icing long enough for Kelly to find a replacement for me. He agreed so on Thursday I'll go into work early and see if Kelly is working or find out the next time she does work and let her know what he said and that I would be willing to go back and work there as long as I'm getting over 20 hours a week and $8.50 minimum.
The cherry on top of all of this is today we found out they're going to sell a special edition XBox 360 Elite with Resident Evil 5. It is RED and absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I think I drooled a little when I saw it. I'm thinking about selling my Arcade and getting one of the Elites. Its the same price as the regular black Elite, so basically I'd be getting RE5 for FREE! It's so awesome...
Anyway, I'll update on family stuff later. It's been impossible to get hold of my sister lately.... stupid Jamie :P
