Daddy Loves Menards!

For those of you that don't know, my husband, Chuck works for the Menards chain. Well today he got some pretty big new; he got a promotion! He had interviewed last week and wasn't sure because the headquarters dudes were giving him the run around. You know how those business men are. Anyways, turns out he will be making more money and he only has to move to the Joliet store to get it! Currently he works at Crest Hill. The store is still fairly close to home which is a plus. He will be working with his old boss who he loves too. He is super excited and I am proud of him. The thing with working in retail, is that they sometimes want you to relocate. And be relocating, I mean out of state. They offered him a promo in Indiana but he turned it down. He has turned down other out-of-state promos as well. Who can affort to move with this economy? Unless Menards plans to buy our house, we are staying put. Plus I really don't see us moving out of state anyways. Why would we do that? He had maade several moves though with the company and they should be thankful for that. He started his career with Menards down in Champaign right after college. Then he got to move up here to Naperville. After that, he moved to Glendale Heights and then Homer Glen before moving to Crest Hill. He is a supe-hard worker and was actually just rated number 1 front end manager in ALL of the Menards! He kicks butt! So this will be great too. Now it will be an adjustment because his hours will be a little more than what we are used to plus his whole schedule will change too. I have always hated his schedule so that's nothing new. Is this promotion enough for me to quit my job? Not just yet but maybe we are making progress. At least I won't have to teach summer school now! We'll get used to it and having the extra money will surely come in handy! Congrats Chuck!
