Promotion

Thursday, June 12, 2008

So, I started a new job in April and it was going great untill last week when my stomach started giving me all sorts of problems. One of the two assistant managers quit last week. The other assistant manager told me about it and suggested I talk to the store manager to put my name in for the position.

I don't know what to do. I'd like the assistant manager position, but with my anxiety and stomach, I fear I won't be able to do what's expected of me. It's only 32 hours a week, but it's retail, so I'd have to be on my feet for 8 hours a day...ewww. Do I want to exhaust myself like that? Just for a better title and a little but more money? I really could use the money (I assume there's a raise involved, but probably not by much) as I'm trying to get out of my boyfriend's house, but at what cost? Would it be worth it to potentially make myself sicker? I'm so confused.

I go to the GI dr tomorrow. Maybe he'll have some promising information for me that could allow me to at least get the courage to put my name in the running.

Hug sophi...

I understand how you feel about retail and 8 hour days. I just started a part time job and said I only wanted 20 hours a week well they are giving me 32. the shifts are 8.5 hours. I feel like I'm dying from standing on my feet that long.
You will have to decide if you think you can handle the long days and the added responsibilty. If you decide to take the job and it is too much would you be able to go back to your current position?

I would think I could step back down, but I'm not sure. It's still just an idea I'm playing around with.
