New Job (Finally)

Today I was offered a job at the new Duckwall-Alco store that will be opening up in Wichita. I will be the hardlines manager. What that translates to is that I will be over lawn and garden, automotive, seasonal, and electronics departments. This is my first job in retail so I really don't know what to expect. I start monday morning and the store opens on Oct. 27th.
