And They Shine For You, My Dear

Edit: Someone from another store got the position and I’m grateful for it because I don’t have to worry about more added responsibility. Kind of glad I didn’t get it.

So, I heard back--there are four candidates that are vying for the SOM or Front End Department Head position including someone from my own but I might have a chance because I was still under consideration because it means more money, and responsibility and they asked that of me and I told them that I am ready for it. And that I am more confident about it. On top of finding out that I am still a candidate, I got a fifty cent raise, so I’m making 16.50 which is better for us and if I get the SOM position–More money for us! Us, meaning my husband and I.

Otherwise, The Stars Keep Shining

Haven’t heard from the job position but alas, if I didn’t get it…I still get raises up to 17 an hour and I’m already at 16 an hour at my job; so there isn’t too bad of a thing for me. A few things occurred in the last few days like my mother in law’s birthday and while I think they hate and maybe just tolerate me because of my mental illness, and that my husband Jose won’t ever divorce me—–It’s been 18 years together, and married 12 years; it isn’t happening. So they are stuck with me for better or for worse and it’s definitely for worse!
