My Corporate Retail Career

My work experience seems to be improving as I get to know people and how things work. Inevitably retail around the fall and holidays is going to be crazy. Even the one manager I though hated my guts posted a good note about me on the board. Tonight I was on the closing shift (my usual) and the HR person said to the closing manager that maybe I'd be good for their corporate intern program since I'm doing well.

I think Jim Halpert has the perfect quote to sum up my thoughts:

"...right now, this is a job. If I advance any higher, this would be my career. And if this were my career, I'd have to throw myself in front of a train."
