Career Preference

Here's another new and interesting twist in the "career preference" category. Since I started working as a walmartian , I worked for six+ years and held three positions. And now, since my transfer to Arizona in February, I've already held two, and am considering another.

Today, I was asked by the store manager if I had an interest in the Claims Supervisor position, as Jessie is leaving, after nineteen years with the company. Frankly, since I've only been in my pharmacy dept since May, I honestly wasn't considering a change. But, if management is asking... I should be considering. So, I said "of course" and went and filled out my Career Preference options on the in house computer system.

This would be a position that deals with defective items returned, recalled items, stolen goods. There is a modicum of responsibility, quite different from that on the sales floor. More interaction with management and office associates. Other than that, I need to read up on and get more info for this position. But... an exciting turn of events, all in all. Knowledge is power, maybe some day I'll run my own store ... *ponders* ... Nope, that isn't gonna happen. lol Retail is good, but not THAT good. At my age.

And KUDOS to my sisters in Eaton Ohio. They got hit with part of Ike, and were without power for a long time. The store shut down for 24 hours, thereabouts, and they lost all the frozen/deli/cold goods ... to the tune of $223,000. They've worked long hard hours taking care of the problem, and getting the store restocked all over again. Sometimes I feel like I'm missing out on all the fun ... but I think they can have this one all to themselves!!! Miss you guys!!! xoxox

HUGS to everyone!!
