It's all in the timing

I had an interesting thing happen to me today. Less than a week after being informed of my new position as manager of electrical, and less than a week before my duties as manager officially start, another store's HR manager called to tell me their electrical manager position was being posted and they would like to talk to me about it.

I had interviewed with this other Lowe's for a manager's position in a different department because I wanted to relocate so my driving mileage and time to work was reduced. That position was not offered to me at that time. Now the position I REALLY wanted is open.

Oh well. Might be a reason for the timing. I am going to stay put. I have a lot to learn about being a manager of a department without having to learn a new store which is laid out differently and learn a lot of new names and personalities.

I really like the store I am in, and like the people I work with. I am a bit apprehensive about tinkering with those two parameters. I believe I get along with most everyone and I appreciate my managers and their work ethics.

So, staying put for a while.

Nothing new done with the camera lately. I need to take some pictures and post them. I am in the middle of a project to put a railing up on the front porch. It is mainly to keep Daniel from wrapping himself around one of the porch columns. But it will add a little pizazz to the front I think. I am off Wednesday and Thursday and I hope to have it finished.

I think our next major project around here is the family room. We want to remove the half height paneling and pink carpeting. I sure hope the previous owners got the deal of a lifetime on the carpet because it is beat senseless ugly.

Georgiann and I are going to Lancaster PA on the 2nd of August. An interesting place, Lancaster. Just down the road from Fertility, Bird in Hand, Intercourse, and Strasburg. And not but a few minutes east of Gettysburg. Between 46,000 and 51,000 lives were lost in the three day battle around the town of Gettyburg. A very solemn and sacred place to visit.

Maybe I'll have pictures of that. Cheers.
