Moving on....

So I've been a slacker blogger lately. I apologize to anyone still reading this. As with most things, I started out with real gusto and then just kind of pooped out. Anyway, I have lots of exciting things to report.

1. I gave my two weeks notice, so soon I will no longer be the hobby lobbyist. I will attempt to continue to blog though- I promised a friend I would blog about my teaching experiences (I'm going to be teaching high school in the fall). Anyway- I'll probably set up a new blog for that--I'll let ya know.

2. I've been moved from fabrics to seasonal. So I can still help you pick out just the right material for your dining room chairs, but now I can also assist you in finding just the right pumpkin for your house or just the right Christmas ornaments.

3. Due to my new assignment, I now spend much more time towards the front of the store, so I see the sun a lot more. This makes me happy.

4. My new assignment also means I get to design stuff. For example, I spent last night setting up two tables of fall decorations. It's fun to decorate when you have a whole store of resources to choose from. My manager would tell me what needed to go on the table and then set me free to make it pretty. I think I took too long, but, let me tell you, it looks nice. I now have to watch it, or I judge all the ugly tables full of boring stuff like art paper or Christmas lights. Earlier tonight I kind of stuck my foot in my mouth when my manager told me we were going to redo a table in the back that was full of Christmas lights. I made some comment about it being ugly, and one of my co-workers said, "Thanks, I did that!" I immediately began to apologize profusely, but she said she really didn't care--one of the other managers told her to do it that way.

So there you have it- lots of changes in my little world.
