Knucklehead97 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Howdy guys! How's everything been going? I took a while away from CC after life took ahold of me about 10 months ago. But finally, I'm back to roaming the forums with you guys again! So who remembers when I was considering quitting my job at Publix and going to school? I never did thankfully, and it has turned out great for me. About a week after that topic I started about going to school, I got a call from my district manager and was transfered to the highest velocity store in the district. Which was where people got sent before they get promoted. I was a grocery team leader at the time and there was supposed to be 2 Team Leaders due to the volume of the store. About 2 weeks into me being there they decide they only want me as Team Leader and that they're not going to get another one till I leave. The store manager there loved me and everything went smoothly after I got settled in. Fast forward 3 months... This happened! I got promoted on January 31st to our store in Pell City. And while it's a long drive, it's more than worth it. I haven't loved my job this much in a long time. My salary was almost doubled when I got promoted, i have a great schedule, and I've been killing the position and impressing the whole store. On top of the promotion the DM chose me to speak at a 500 people conference about being "young and successful" with Publix. I'm the youngest assistant manager in my district! And lastly he chose me to have a small video interview with Southern Living magazine about why I like Publix. With the extra money I have now. I've bought and had installed a fancy hot water heater for my mom, bought her a new set of tires for her Jeep, and got a VERY nice engagement ring to propose to my girlfriend at the end of the year with. Life has been a blessing and is only getting better! Now on to that Jeep of mine... I've finally started working on it again. I'm almost done with the brakes and swapping in a 12.7 ratio gearbox. Once that is done i have to change the oil and put some fresh gas into her and then I'm going to fire her up! I removed all the AC components other than the compressor because they were getting in my way. And next month i will be getting a set of 265/75/15 (true 31's) Cooper AT3's for it. I'm super excited to be back on the forums! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
