"Okay, We're Lost. But We're Making Good Time."

Pretty ordinary day today, workwise. (Is that a word?) However, there were a couple of highlights. Specifically, Matt (the store manager) stopped me at one point to tell me that at a "Manager's Status Update" meeting yesterday, the regional manager asked for some recommendations for good candidates for internal promotions, and that I was one of the names he gave. He said I probably wouldn't hear anything about it for at least a month or more, but that he just wanted to keep me informed.

So, "Yay, me." :)

Also, Christian, tonight's shift supervisor, told me that I did great work today, and particularly complimented my customer service skills. I'm not sure how much was sincere, and how much was his standard "good-natured irony" (he's the sort of person who seems to "put everything in quotes" if you know what I mean), but I know that he at least based his comment on reality. So, "Yay, me, again." :)

I wonder if any of this means I'd be making more than $20k before the end of the year staying at Starbucks. (Oy. I miss making $45k.)

I made $20k for the first time in 7 years last year. My numbers in the previous years go $16k, $13k $10k $10k,$10k, $9k.I have to go back to my last year working construction for Giant to see numbers over $20k and the best they ever were was $25k.

What's it like to make $45k? -Frisk

Yay indeed! Well done, my man! Can I get a recco from you if I apply there? :)

What does $20K feel like? The most I've ever earned was $5K.

My only repsonse to that is "ouch!" -Frisk

We make 20k, almost exactly, but it only barely covers our basic bills!! We definately need more! I'd like to make 40k!! :)
