Red and Khaki no more

Been keeping this on a down low this past month but I’ve been trying to get a teller position at Bank of America.  Had interview with the recruitor two weeks ago and an interview with the manager this past Wed.  Just yesterday (could’ve been Thursday but forgot to check my messages on my phone) I was offered the position and I took it!  The position offers $12 an hour but only 15 hours a week.  It’s pretty good for me since it gives more time to study and easier time to go out at night.  The downside is I’m going to lose a hundred or so dollars a month compared to my paycheck at Target especially with the annual raise coming up either March, April, or May which might increase to about almost $10 an hour (I’m currently getting almost $9 an hour).  But I don’t care because I’m trying something new and I can’t move up at Target because of my school schedule.  So I don’t want to do the same thing again till I graduate.  I rather do something different and probably a little more flexible for the next two years.

Anway, after school, I went to Target to pick up my paycheck and turned in my two weeks.  My last day will be the 15th and I will begin trainng at BofA on the 16th.  The funniest thing is my last day is two days before my 2nd year anniversary at Target hehe. 

A co-worker of mine that I started out with at the same time wondered would be the last one at Target.  I mean, with all the positions combined when we first started there was about close to 20 people.  Before our first year, we were the last two.  Now we know who is the last one.

My co-worker and I were offered promotions left and right before our first year and so far, he’s the only one that went up after our first year but that’s because he had the time flexibility for it since he was not going to school.  But now, he’s thinking about going to school because he wants a degree in business management like me.  But he can’t because he needs the money to pay bills and he doesn’t know if he has time to do both.  Maybe in a few years or so he will and he’ll become an Executive Team Leader (manager).  Hell, maybe when I graduate I might be one too!
