Well could I get any more stressed out?! Been a lot of thinking about school, thinking about future work options, thinking about normal work stresses etc etc etc, whew I'm worn out! Had a sit down conversation with Chris, Roola and Peter (my boss in the restaurant) yesterday, I was super nervous to start with as I wasn't sure how they were going to take the news (very unexpected for them as I hadn't told them anything about it before)?! Well, they took it surprisingly really well. I told them that I was thankful for the offer in CR Team Leader role but I had been accepted to study come Feb, if they wanted me to stay where I am or be in CR role I was more then happy either way, whatever worked best for them. Well they were super happy that I had decided to go back to school and that I want to stay with IKEA! They decided to put me in the CR role for 3 months (until Feb) as they think I would do well down there and help them out a lot. Then Chris said he wants me back in food part time while I'm studying, he said he guarantees the hours for me and I get to be a bit choosy over what shifts I want to work. So I guess all that hard work, stress and tears over the last year has paid off. Yippee :) VERY HAPPY! And relieved :)
So I start as Customer Relations Team Leader Nov 12th. I'll be helping out/in charge of; Front Line (cash line), Smaland (kids drop off area/play area), Greeters, Cash Office (counting floats, distributing change) & Shopping Tools. Should be very interesting as it's completely new. I'm excited for a change, working with a team of 50 odd co-workers, so double the size of what I have now. Wish me luck! Be nice to get some experience in another part of the company as well.
Roola & Chris are keen for me to get into Communications & Interior Design team after I've finished studying which is great to have the support to get where I want to go. Sounds like they're going to try and help me get some work experience in the area before hand as well. So we'll see how it all goes.
Going to be a very busy year! But a very exciting year as well! Studying, new career option, wedding, traveling, possibly moving, oh my goodness, brace myself, here we go! I am looking forward to getting out of my current role right now, getting a bit too much for me especially with these hour cuts. So I think all of this is happening at a very good time. Keep you posted on how the new role goes.
And of course HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!! Thinking of you as always. Love you to bits and hope you have a wonderful day!!! Big cuddles in the mail for you xxx
That's it for now, it's all been keeping my mind very occupied at the moment, hopefully I'm able to de-stress a bit over the next few weeks or so, wound up tighter then a drum and not liking it at all. Summer's on it's way, yipee :D Love to you all xx
