Well, after almost 5 yrs. of working for Lowe's, today is my last day. I started off as a part-time college student working 25-30 hrs. a week and now ending as a dept. manager. I worked at two different stores and made a lot of friends including several I am still close with from my old store. My outlook on retail changed immensely once I became a manager. Being called in at all hours of the day, having to complete impossible tasks in impossible time frames, and dealing with terrible customers......I will not miss these aspects of the job 
In a little over a year as a manager, my depts. did a around 3.5 million in sales and I supervised six employees. The responsibility and experience I gained is truly invaluable and I am grateful I took the opportunity when I had the chance. Now, I am ready to move on to the next chapter of my life and the next challenge. The only thing left is to find the right cigar tonight :whistling:
