New Job, New Outlook

New Job, New Outlook
Current mood: excited

Well, I'm happy to announce that I have decided to stay at Nordstrom, albeit in a new and less stressful position. And with the great set schedule (M-F 7-4) I am going to be starting classes at SCCC on Apr. 3. I can't wait!

I will now be working as an "Item Analyst" in the Centralized Merchandising Information Office (CMIO) in the corporate offices. Maybe a little less exciting than managing at the Rack, but certainly a lot less stress and responsibility. Plus, I can listen to my Ipod all day! Those of you who know me well know that that is as close to heaven as my agnosticism allows me to get!

My last day at the Rack is tomorrow, the 17th. I will miss all of the friends and acquaintances I've made here, and I will really miss the team that I have built. They are good people and I have the utmost respect for them.

But I was ready for a new challenge, and this will provide me with that as well as the opportunity to finally get that damn little piece of paper that says I'm smart. Hard to get ahead in the world without a degree anymore, I've learned.
