As some of you may know, I recently had the opportunity to take on a promotion at my current place of employment.  A position as a department manager.  It was not originally the position that I desired, or planned, but I figured management was management and this particular posting could better help me in my short term plans.  The ultimate goal was for this new position to be my needed stepping stone into store management training.  While this is still the case, the past few months have caused quite a stir internally for me.
