As of today I don't have that evil 112-mile roundtrip commute to contend with anymore! I'm back working in Corte Madera, managing my old store there.
One of those things about the work world is how hard work is generally rewarded by -- more hard work. I worked hard to turn Santa Rosa into a well-organized store with good quality selling numbers. Now, I get to do the same thing all over again in Corte Madera.
It's going to be a challenge, since the store has been understaffed for months and is in need of some fixing up. And unlike the placid Santa Rosa store, there's more customers and longer hours, so it will be tougher to get staffed up and things back on an even keel. I've been pretty nervous the past couple of days & didn't sleep well last night.
Today went alright though. The first customer of the day bought two handbags and the second, 4 pairs of shoes. I take that as a good sign.

Hey congrats! Actually, with a shorter commute you'll have more energy to focus on the Corte Madera store. Yes, it is more work for you, but cerainly a nice compliment from management to be put at another store in need of your "magic touch."
No need to be nevous... you'll figure it out. :-)
