I think it's funny how transition can take on a life of its own.
I had a good idea of how and when I was going to take this and so on.
This morning I went to work. It was a very normal day, as far as a Saturday can be at a Grocery store.
The person in my department that took over and was our closer for the day is a close friend that I can talk to about my transition and I can trust her.
Management pulled her out of our department to work elsewhere in the store.
I finished my shift and I was headed up front to fill out the log book to make sure I get paid for this next week because I'm on vacation.
As I stepped onto the sales floor, I hear my friend page me to come to the Floral department where she was.
I get there, and one of our co-managers is with her. Our most senior co-manager at that.
She notices that I'm headed home because I have my Motorcycle jacket on and my helmet in my hand.
She comments that she didn't realize that I was off the clock and that she wanted to talk to me bout something that is not work related.
She then tells me that she has figured me out by telling me that she is also a Mary Kay representative and if I need any skin care products or makeup products that she has no problem providing me a catalog.
We talk a little and I head home.
A few hours later, I go back up there to pick my Nephew up and give him a ride home.
I meet up with my friend and we talk about what happened a little.
Come find out, the entire Management team has figured me out and I've been hiding it as much as I can.
I realize now that while I'm on this vacation, I'm going to need to work out and change my timeline dramatically from what I had figured.
I can do it. I'm flexible.
My question is this; has anyone used Mary Kay, and how does their products compare?
