Work...Good or Bad?

I've been contemplating about the work conditions, and it has it's good and bad times. Today was my 3rd day as a plumbing associate and I have continued to learn new things everyday. I've had a couple of difficult questions to answer, but luckily, my fellow associates in plumbing have my back. Plumbing was the last department I wanted to transfer into, and has been by far, very challenging, which does seem to phase me because I enjoy being in difficult situations. It's just a part of life that you have to learn. I mean cashiering was one of the easiest jobs, but a challenge is always needed.

Work is like a game of basketball, Cashier was just like practice and the Plumbing department is the game. There's always something new to learn and work on. Always room for vast knowledge and improvement. Since being in Plumbing, most of the customers I have encountered really nice, but I've had a one customer so far that was rude, and another customer from just the sound of her voice, that was really annoying. Other than that, Plumbing has been great. It's not as bad as everyone thinks it is. It's by far one of the most challenging departments of them all.

It's great that I have gotten the opportunity to prove myself that transfering me onto the floor was a good decision to make. I was really hoping to get into the Electrical department as I spoke with the head of the department a couple of times, while he was still there, about opening spots in the department. I spoke with the store manager as well as the HR about possibly moving onto the floor, specifically indicating and stressing that I be moved into the Electrical department. Don't get me wrong, but I'm greatfully thankful to be in a department at all.

Overall, work is good. Income is alright, customers are friendly, and associates are cooler than cool.

Knowledge is Power!
