What you see before you is the tentative schedule for Fall of '08. I'd like to be the first to say that it's going to suck.

Those times in parentheses are work times. Non-parentheses are school times. Those in blue are Piercing Pagoda, and those in red are UTS.

Yeah, I really need a promotion. At this point it seems pretty futile to think that will ever happen. I mean, my regional manager at Piercing Pagoda dangled the title in front of me end of February, and here it is nearing the end of April, two months have gone by. I don't feel like I can even talk to her about it since every time we speak on the phone it seems as if she is too busy to really listen to me. I just wish she had an email address or something, but Piercing Pagoda it seems is all phone-based. Even having a sit-down formal interview would be nice. I could list the reasons for hours about why I'm qualified and prepared to take the position. Despite the fact that I also go to school, I work full-time as it is (32 hours is considered full-time). Not only that, but I absolutely LOVE working at Piercing Pagoda. I enjoy being there, I love my customers (my regulars especially), I like the interaction with people, and heck, I even like piercing ears. I'm great at sales. My numbers prove it. Beyond that, the store itself has been doing great, which was the pretense for those higher-ups to reinstate the job position of Assistant Manager in the first place. We're supposedly getting raises in June. I don't know how to approach the subject of "am I still going to get promoted". I don't want to seem a nag, however, I really, really hate having two jobs. I don't mind the hours, I just want it to be the same. UTS is so dull anyway. It gives me headaches staring at a screen and listening to boring financial people talk about retirement options all day long. Blockbuster is hiring for assistant managers, however, their hours are like until midnight and I would really hate to leave Piercing Pagoda, not after I've put so much time into it and love it so much. Free movies though :) I should pick up an application. In fact, I'm going to go do that right now. Hell. Probably won't get it anyway, but might as well try.
