Happy and Busy Holidays

Hello everyone! I can't believe how long it has been since my last blog post. I've been extremely busy with work and learning the organ. I was also planning on moving by the end of the month but that isn't going to work out now.

So, my boss has been letting me learn the ropes and I've been traveling through Iowa to help teach our classes. It's been going well, despite being in the cars on Thursday and Friday almost every week, and things were looking up. Our CEO was in town and decided to talk to me about managing those places we've been going to on Thursdays and Fridays.

This was great news for me, key word was, until he decided to bring up my salary. He was wanting me to double the amount of work I'm doing (trust me, it's hard enough to run a store with only 2 people) for less than $2,000 more a year. Needless to say, it was like a kick to the stomach. I have been busy every night and I even gave up attempting for NaNoWriMo after the first few days in November.

I decided to just stay at my location without getting the promotion. Otherwise, it would have been me also taking on a rent and food plus my other things I have to pay. I'm considering looking into other work that I would enjoy as well. I'm hoping to get back into reading and writing in January since I've missed it.

Otherwise, my holiday season has been very nice and I got to spend time with family. I'm actually writing this at work since my boss decided that we needed to have our normal class. Hopefully it won't be a long break in between post like it was in the past. Take care and I hope to write again soon.
