Well... as some of y'all know, and as I'm sure I'll get some sneers/etc from those that don't (and hey, maybe a few more from those who already do), but back in December I started working at Petco as a means to help pay the bills, get discounted rodents, and talk about the animals I love the most with people of varying levels of experience. I know, I know... Petco is the root of all evil in the minds eye of the herp world, but as far as this thread is concerned that's neither here nor there. I personally see the benefits Petco has to offer as far as educating people about herps (as long as the person doing the teaching knows what the heck they are talking about).

The real point of this thread is this... I have worked there for what would be about four months now... and it has been brought to my attention that they want me to become a Team Lead once my 6 month comes around (and pass all my specialist tests). According to them, I have an exceptional attention to detail with the animals, excellent work habits, and all that jazz... Kinda ticked off a fair number of my co-workers at the same time that the new kid seems to have been chosen over them. In reality I do not know how feasible it would be given school loads and still maintaining my duties up at Petco, but I gotta admit it sounds quite enticing if for nothing else that the experience. But at the very least a mega-awesomely kind gesture. Given the nature of life recently, it's was great being given that news.
