DAY 25, Post 3

I was outside with our puppy, Penny, this morning, and was watching her run around with a piece of bread she found in a neighbor's yard.  She scurried around for a bit, looking for a place to hide her treasure, and she made me think...  "Dogs are smart.  How do I 'hide' my treasures so that they don't escape me?"

This afternoon she had a stick.  I have sticks...  My boys, the little money I make at my job, my job, my apartment, my self-respect, my happiness, my health, my family, my friends...  How do I not get the short end of the stick?  How do I ensure someone isn't going to cut one of them down and try to take it away from me?  And if they try, how do I prevent it?

The District Manager was in the restaurant today and was talking to my manager about design issues in our store.  I couldn't help but to take the opportunity during my break to ask him if corporate positions are hired from within the company as well...  and he said YES!  He said that whenever possible, all positions are filled by people who are already within the company.  AND he gave me the information for the Design Manager, as with the expansions and new locations the company is constantly having, they could possibly need additional help.  So, I'll be contacting her to inquire about possible positions tonight!
