Last week was a very dramatic week for me. I started at a new store. Most of you will not be interested in this. It was a very big deal for me though. I have only been a store manager for like a year and a half, so I guess you could say I am not very experienced. I had this store that I was very comfortable in, the people were great I mean I worked at this very store when I was fifteen. Anyway, I now call Webb City my work home. The crew there have been so nice to me, which was one of the first things I was worried about. But everything else is so different, the customers, the business patterns, the store is so big. My first day there, was so overwhelming. I honestly was in tears on my way home. I was like what did I get myself into? I can't do this. It was like this heavy weight on my chest, I did not want to go back. It wasn't the people, or the store, ok maybe it was the store but it was mostly me. I just kept thinking they are trusting me to do this? So................I of coarse did go back and each day was better. I guess I just needed to breath. Its still scary everyday, it was kind of like a "here ya go" kind of thing. It probably is anytime you take over a new store. But,I will make it my home and eventually my world will be normal again. (I just need to make sure I don't drive Mike crazy with this!!!)
On a lighter note................. The Dicoccos are here with us. It is wonderful for them to be here. We haven't seen them in a year! They are only here for a few days but just to have them at all is a blessing.
We still haven't met Sophie. But we are planning a trip next weekend. Yeah we cannot wait. Micha is very anxious to meet the baby.

I understand how you feel in your new job. I think I felt that way all last school year, the tears, the uncertainty, there were many times I just wanted to go to my boss and say, "here, you can have the whole thing." But all worked out and the new became the comfortable. Good luck in your new job. I know you'll do great.
You know, after Lynette was an assistant manager in a store for 5 years, she was promoted to manager and moved stores. I remember her going through very similar things every day.
I know Blockbuster and McDonalds aren't quite the same thing. But I know that you are more than welcome to call her with any concerns you have.
Can't wait to see you this weekend. We know we will, we have your daughter as collateral.
I think once Lynette and I figured out that our jobs are very similar.
