I definitely was unable to stand still tonight. Had to flex two fully stocked BTS shipping containers, then flex those into empty spots in BTS and Office Supplies across the store. 8 full carts and they said to get it done before I clocked out(LMAO)
My ETL and LOD didn't know that I had that much in carts, so I ended up just turning the carts into stationary pulls for whomever does them now tomorrow. I feel kind of bad, like really bad for whoever has to try and flex those into office supplies. I might have nightmares. But for my first shift in Hardlines, I did super good I feel. I zoned up for my first 3 hours, conveniently forgot to zone one endcap(and unfortunately forgot to zone it once the LOD noticed before the end of my shift.), then did the flexing stuff. I got praise tonight so that feels good, my LOD was kind of throwing negatives feelings towards me, but once I walkied later in the night saying I can't get any of this worked out tonight, she and I joked and laughed and I felt better. I forgot to see if they needed anyone scheduled back there more often, I'd be okay with doing it.
I sort of love my management at my store. I met the new electronics TM, super chill dude, clicked as soon as I clocked in. I was suppose to be with him tonight in seasonal but he ended up working in Toys. Overall, I had a pleasant night. I work again at 5:30pm working Carts (probably gonna be the most chill shift I've ever worked in months) and I'm up at 1:30am listening to music and just relaxing.
I've been really thinking about life and my future lately, and I'm confident enough to want to try for a leadership position if my new job ends up not working out, I'm still waiting to see if they've chosen me, I will probably call in Monday to my hopefully new place of work and see what's going on. If it doesn't pan out, I like working at my store enough to say I can work full time there, as long as it's not Cashering and I get more than $10.50 an hour lol. It'd be great to make a little more than $1200 a month, it'd pay rent at least for when I move into an apartment with my girlfriend, then we have her job as well.
But I want more, and I won't stop there. Anything higher than a team lead position I'd most likely have to move locations, and at that point I would probably consider other local options for the same pay. I don't think I'd work at any other Target unless it was my current store, I have it nice here.
