Well, I’ve gone and done it. And I think it’s worth a mention. After 4 1/2 of “retail middle management” (or whatever you call it), I have accepted a position in Computer User Support. It’s going to be quite a change: no more supervising staff, no more customer service (well, depending on how you mean), no more tempting goods… I won’t even be at the store anymore, over at the corporate office now.
Of course, there are things that I will miss. The customers, the products, the store itself. But this will be exciting and challenging and it’s just a line of work that I’ve really been wanting to get involved in. I’ve done some in the past, but I never get sick of trying to troubleshoot computer systems of Users issues. Even on Windows!
Now I just need to plow through and sort all of the years of files and books and detritus that I have accumulated at my desk… And in my shelves. Time to make some tough decisions!
Woo hoo! Congratulations!!! :)
Any books you don’t need? Ship ’em on over. (I will leave them in VT for you when we leave!) hahahaha
Congrats on the change, and happy belated birthday!
Well, the trouble with these books is that to keep them (or send them to VT) I would have to buy them. So it’s a big no for most.
But thank you both on the congrat’s! It’s not really going up in the world, but I think it will be more exciting and more fulfilling and, in the long run, more valuable.
