Selling His Soul...

Paul sold himself to the devil today and accepted a job with Walmart. That's right..I said Walmart..You know the "evil empire", the place I wasn't "allowed" to spend his hard earned money in last year. That one. Turns out they aren't so evil after all.

Before Paul started with Dicks he met someone who worked in a corporate position and he gave him is resume. Like 3 months later a recruiter contacted him and he interviewed for a market position (an operations position, not in a store). It went well and last night they offered him the position (and a sign on bonus..grossed up so we get the full amount after taxes)! He's been somewhat unhappy at Dicks - it was just so small and he had to work so many nights and weekends. This position is mostly Mon-Fri and he'll get a company car. So, needless to say we're very excited. He gave his notice at Dicks today so in 2 weeks he'll start the new job.

I'll still be shopping at Target because it's still my favorite but a discount at Walmart rocks. You just never know what kinds of twists and turns your life will take...never say never!
