Life is fixin to get very interesting

Sup y'all? Not a whole lot of new 'news' here to report. Just some interesting stuff at work that is going on and will be going on. Let me elaborate.....

First of all, Adrian, my terminal manager informed me on Thursday that in May, I will be training Julius, our night shift manager to do my job, for about a week. After that, I will be spending an entire week working the night shift, learning all of the administrative stuff (since I already know the "physical part" of the night shift work, the office work is all I don't know) that goes along with that aspect of our business. THEN....probably in early June, I will be spending a week with Greg Lang, who is the full time manager who deals with the delivery aspect of things, learning HIS job. All of this is so that I can have some legitimate experience so that Adrian, in his words, can "get you promoted, out of here and on your way to bigger and better things."

Then, on Friday, I was speaking with my regional manager, he tells me that he is going to be here the first week of May so that he can observe my management style, and get me certified on some things, which will allow me to get ready to transfer out. He told me "Greg, you're doing a fantastic job, don't doubt that.That made me feel good.

Both Adrian and my regional boss (Ed) know that I want to get transferred by the first of the year at the very latest, so it looks like they are confident enough in my abilities to help me along in that process. Things seem to be looking up!

Now...here's the question...though a lot of it depends on exactly where there are openings...where do I want to go? Part of me wants to stay in Texas and try to go to Dallas, Ft. Worth, or Irving. Maybe even Austin to be closer to my nephew and niece there, who I don't get to see enough of. There are several other good facilities in Texas that I would definitely consider. Outside of Texas....anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely LOVE Tennessee, especially eastern parts of it. Where will I end up? Who knows? But for now...the pendelum seems to be swinging toward me getting out of Texarkana sooner rather than later :)
