So it seems that the young lady who is currently my manager in the deli will be stepping down, so to speak. This is probably a good thing because, although I like the gal, there are times I could cheerfully stuff her full of ham and cheese and sell her to the nearest elderly couple as a specialty platter.
Now it just remains to be seen whether they hire a more mature, experienced manager, or promote yours truly into that glorious position. Should be a good time either way, just more money for me if it's the latter! The other perk to the manager position is the shift change - i can get up an hour later so, instead of being up at 6am, I can sleep in to a nice late 7am and maybe actually stay awake past 10pm at night! So all fingers crossed that the transition goes smoothly one way or another!
