Sometimes you have got to look out for number 1 (which, in this case, is me!).
I have been working at the Miche Bag kiosk in the University Mall since October 2007, and it has been a great job for me! It is retail (which I seem to do well in), the hours are good for a college student, the pay is (or was) relatively good, and the environment is fun and not too stressful.
Once everyone's pay was cut back to....well, let's just say "not a whole lot" I knew I needed to look for something else. I felt bad since I love the company (started in part by my cousin Annette) and my manager (my cousin, Rebecca) and thus felt like I was abandoning them. But in the end, I needed something that would pay better and give me more opportunities to progress. (Plus, the new owner of out kiosk, Janet, is a little strange, and she was the one making the pay-cuts, so I don't feel too bad about leaving her behind....man I hope she never finds this blog! :) ).
Well, my new job is...kind of like my old one! :) I am still going to be working at the University Mall...and at a kiosk....but I am going to be the manager! Woo-hoo! I am the new manager at the Down East Basics kiosk (It sells camis and t-shirts similar to Shade, but they are less expensive and I like them a lot more!). I am really excited to get going! The pay is really good, I get paid vacation, I'll be really busy(which at a kiosk is soooo nice) and most importantly...people work under me! :) ha ha
So yet another chapter in my retail book is over, and I am starting a new one!

I am excited about this new change for you. You will do a wonderful job and your new employer will be thrilled with the skills and leadership you'll bring to this job. I hope this will be a rewarding experience for you. Dad
I'm sure you'll do a great job with DownEast, they're lucky to have you. Miche knew they were lucky to have you too (at least Annette and Becky did), but unfortunately a certain other party didn't recognize it. I'm quite sure Becky and Annette understand your choice to move on. :)
