Expecting Great Things

There has been one major development recently in our lives. And, no, Beth I'm not pregnant. I got a promotion at work!!!! I have been working at Kohl's for the past 5 months just as a regular sales associate. I enjoyed the work, but the paycheck left a little to be desired. So imagine my shock and surprise when our store manager asked if I would be interested in applying for another position that is opening up. My immediate thought was: HOW SOON CAN I SIGN UP?!?! Needless to say, I found out last week that I got the position. That position: administrative assistant. I know, sounds pretty official right? Basically I am now in charge of scheduling our 100+ employees, making sure payroll is where its supposed to be, working with the new hires, etc. I am back in the office with all the managers and I even have my own desk! Oh, and my picture is now on the wall as one of the administrators. I seriously considered taking a picture of my picture that is on the wall, but I thought that may be a bit ridiculous. So, I didn't. There are also many perks to this new job. A nice little payraise, and better hours. I never have to work past 2:30 and I have the weekends off! My first day of training was today, and although I feel a little overwhelmed at the amount of information I must learn, I am very excited for this new opportunity.
