So as many of you know I've been working at Papa Johns as a delivery driver. A few weeks ago, I got into a fender bender on the job, and so I cannot be a driver anymore. My manager decided to switch me to in store and slowly train me to be a manager. On the 4th, I was supposed to work as an in store and help out the manager, but the manager decided to get another job and got 'sick' on the 4th. (Yeah, convenient, right?) So anyway, I had only been trained to close once, but I was on my own that night, my first time being a manager with only one previous night of training. I had been working hard to get ready for that night, because we all had a feeling that this guy was going to bail on us. It wasn't easy, but I ended up doing a great job of managing, everyone was telling me how proud and impressed they were. My general manager came in at the of the night and showed me how to do the closing procedures again, and checked to see how I had done. I did so well, I'm now going to be managing shifts on my own n a regular basis!
Isn't it cool how what I thought was the worst day of my life (the wreck and loss of delivery job) turned into an amazing promotion? I have so much more faith about how struggles can be rewarding now!
