Waiting

Some time in the next week I will find out what the decision will be regarding the promotion. There have been interviews other than mine, and I was surprised at some of the candidates, and happy about others. We are after all a team. I have already expressed to our two Swing managers that I would not feel cheated if they chose someone else more worthy. It does though.at this time seem as though the managers as a whole would like me to be the one selected. Today (despite the incredibly uncomfortable temperatures) was a day for compliments, from Swing and from Grave shift. On my shift I work with both sets.


I feel as though it is a natural progression for me. I know the drawbacks..more time at work, and likely a check that is no greater than what I already take home. All my life I have been the cheerleader and support behind a partner, encouraging them to strive for greater. This time it is for myself, and I have had some wild internal conversations, debating the pro's and the cons of accepting the promotion.  There has been only one other time in my life that I had a chance to move up, and I passed it up for a better quality of life at home. That turned out to be a joke on me, but that is over and done with, you cannot go back.


Our tails were kicked again today, always expected on a holiday weekend, record numbers of guests that will last through till Monday around 8pm.  We shared with each other the places to go to in the casino where you can find some cool air. I felt as though I was melting all day in the hustle and the heat. (The shower after work felt heavenly.)  I do work with some incredible people, and it does at times feel as though we are family. ( I think we see each other more than we see our at home families.)


I will post when I find out which of us is selected. Not holding my breath, not worried about it all. I know I can do the job, but will respect their decision.


G'nite
