Wishful Thinking...

I'm so done with being at all positive about any opportunities that come my way in my career at Borders. Since 2000 when I first started with the company, I think the tally is up to twelve upper management positions that I have not gotten.

So back when I started at this particular store six months ago, my General Manager so much as promised he would promote me to Sales Manager in the event our current manager left. I thought nothing of it. It could be years before he got out.

Well, today, surprise surprise - the Sales Manager gave his notice - his five day notice. This Sunday the promotion that I have been waiting for nearly 5 years for could possibly be mine.

Unfortunately, the General Manager was in a meeting when the notice was given, so I haven't had a chance to talk with him about it. But we are closing together tomorrow night, so I'm sure I'll have more information then...

Wish me luck!
