The Last Warrens in Mississippi

Since most of the people who read this blog are Warrens, it comes to no surprise that M's parents completely moved to Texarkana last Thursday. Wes had been working over there for eight months, so quite obviously they're really happy to finally get the Clinton house sold and get settled into their new home. So, now that B and D are in Knoxville, W and Ce in Texarkana...we are the last ones here.

Most of you have quite possibly been on the receiving end of M's complaints about his job. While he enjoys the security, pay, and having weekends off, he's quite bored with it. He's always wanted to move up in retail (go figure) and be in management, and has transferred his dreams of higher Target management to Frito Lay. This past week M had a problem with his route and a client that he could not control. To keep it short, he resolved that problem in a way that impressed his boss, leading to comments that once M made his route into a positive rather than a negative, he would recommend M for promotion to District Sales Lead (I think that's the title). M said this wouldn't happen for months and months, but it's a start.

Once M gets this position, he would be transferred. I am especially excited about this, since I've been wanting to move out of Mississippi for a while. I am not trying to degrade staying in the same area you were born to, for indeed there are wonderful advantages to that; i.e. ready-made babysitters, seeing family whenever you want, having history and heritage in one place. I just have always wanted to see new places, new people... and have been feeling stuck.

It would be nice for M to get home earlier than six, and definitely nice for him to be able to take off time if he needs it.
