Oh man! I'm a little surprised at the reaction I received regarding my previous blog post about moving! I almost didn't think anyone read this anymore =P Hahaha
but YES. to answer everyone & their moms' questions. . .
I officially finish my "training" on January 3, 2012, after which I will be placed at one of the 48 H. restaurants across the country. I get a minor say in my preference, but it's more of a courtesy question they ask me, rather than a request they take seriously. This restaurant group is notorious for moving their managers around all the time, so even if I did get to stay in NY for the time being, I'd probably end up moving sooner or later anyway. Besides, they won't really promote you to a higher level manager until you've worked in a few different locations. My friend just got her assignment to Long Island, which kinda sucks, because her whole family is in Boston and she would have LOVED to go back to Boston. I'm super impressed with her attitude towards her LI placement though, and I just hope&pray that I will be equally thankful and excited for wherever I end up.
How do I feel about moving? To be honest, I'm still in denial. It's too sad for me to actually take it seriously... but maybe I should start soon. I'm sure there are 1000 reasons why moving would be good for me, and 1000 reasons why staying in NYC would be good for me. At the end of the day, I just gotta go where God puts me. And really, even though it's the VPs and GMs that make the final decision on where I go, God is the one who is directing even that show. God's been so good to me in my life up till now, so even if I have to move, how can I question that He won't continue to be faithful to me?
So yes. There is a verrryy high chance I'll be moving. That is, unless something crazy happens and I hop off this career path and start doing something else...
