This has been one long ass year and I am proud of myself for sticking with it. Even though the rest of the world is as broke as I have been over the last year I can't help feeling like a victim of sorts. I took this promotion originally to move ahead and UP. Not to run flat or fall behind. Now, granted, no one could have predicted this turn in the economy but geez! This has really been tough. I am optimistic though, as I look towards the future, and not just for retail. I feel like we are a resilient group of people, us Americans. I feel like when we get hit, not only do we fight back but we also learn lessons along the way. This turn in the economy has definitely changed the face of retail and not just for today and tomorrow but for next year and the years to follow after that. People won't be shopping like they used to once this economic dark cloud rises and the sun begins to shine through. The will begin to be more cautious. It is that lack of responsibility that got them in trouble in the first place.
I am ready for a change. I am taking steps towards making those changes as we speak. And when the customers start to come back, you know, the ones that left and thought that they wouldn't look back, I'll be ready and waiting. Give me time, I'll make you forget the rest...
