shaZAM! and happy 30th post!
July 16, 2007
whilst this is not my 30th post ever (i’ve made many more over the years), it is the 30th post of this iteration of the S.H.A.
and what better way to commemorate it than with a bit of earth-shattering news.
we’re moving to birmingham. in two weeks.
there’s not much more i can really say about that. its a done deal, we’re going, and we’re going very quickly.
jackie has been (for all intents and purposes) promoted to the studio at Patton Creek (the number two studio in all the country), and while it would be nice to just communte back and forth between here and there, that would just be very silly.
my personal work situation is a bit in the air. i made some phone calls this evening and actually found a Starbucks in Mountain Brook (!) that is in desperate need of a new shift supervisor. their “rock solid” SS (that sounds scary) had to put in his two week notice today because of school scheduling issues. needless to say, they were very excited that i called. i am hoping for a phone call in the morning from their manager to begin ironing out details. it was their assistant manger i spoke to tonight, so the chain of command on this doesn’t move much farther up. however…….
i do feel bad. i feel really really bad in regards to my own beloved store at Eastchase. its witha sense of guilt that i am leaving, and its not put upon by anyone else. i know things there have been tough, and, not to speak highly of myself at all, this only puts them in a much tighter spot. but things happen, and things change. and i must go where my heart is, and that’s with jac to birmingham.
of course, there are many positives, with the pie-in-the-sky positive being an imminent return to school at Montevallo for the fifth year program. so that will/would be nice.
so there it is. sorry to have sprung it out like that, but… yeah.
and now its time for bed.
oh, and one last thing. jason, i know you’re reading this. i know it’ll be hard, but if you could not phone up the mielkes whilst they’re gone and inform them, i’d appreciate it. they have no idea about this (even though they had a hunch something was in the works) or about how quickly its going to happen. i’m still debating whether to even call while they’re gone or to wait until they’re back in town.
sads.
