... but don't put all your eggs in one basket

so the first 2 days of work at 1941 have gone pretty well. yesterday was exciting. not only was it store grand opening, but I made a ridiculous amount of sales, possibly more than all my sales put together at my last retail job. unfortunately there were instances where i was not very please with the behaviour of my co-workers. hopefully this will sort itself out in the weeks to come. which brings me to my next point.

today. while canvassing for CFS, i discovered that a store at Masonville has been waiting for me to come back because they want to offer me a permanent position with them. a month ago, i would have jumped at this opportunity because i've been working at it for a year. today, it is a struggle to make a decision because of 1941. and thus begins the dilemma:

• 1941 is an awesome job; it's fun, it looks good, good potential pay, good potential benefits.
• LVER: the manager, assistant and one of the associates already like me and want me to work with them
• 1941: probation period of 90 days. a store opening pretty much guarantees cuts. can't tell who is going to get cut. everyone is hard working, and no one has slacked yet. everyone is pretty on par so far.
  
• LVER: this is a guaranteed permanent position.

I've got about 2 weeks to make a decision. She wants me to start beginning of November. Maybe that time will tell me how Coach turns out. Maybe I can arrange my schedule to manage both. (Probably not). There is hope?

There is God.
