    Moving From One Sam To Another...

    Well, it's official. I just accepted a position with Member Services at Sam's Club, and will be starting the Wal-Mart Manager in Training Program within the next few months. So, I go from working for Uncle Sam to working for Big Sam.

    Several things came together for this to work in my favor; Wal-Mart has a push on to hire retired military, there are some great opportunities for advancement in the company, and for this area, the money isn't bad at all.

    Still, I have this strange feeling that I just got recruited by Darth Vader and have now joined the Empire...

    Thank you! The whole time I was in the Wal-Mart HR office yesterday I kept thinking about the South Park Wal-Mart episode...I resisted the urge to make any jokes about the "Heart of Wal-Mart."

    Well Darth Maul was the coolest star wars character and he was a valued member of the dark side...

    Congrats on getting the job! Now the fun part really begins; dealing with all the people that go into Wally World! And working on the HR chick
