My hourly rate hasn't changed, my essential duties haven't changed. But I've gone from selling clothes (which I could literally not care less about) to selling books (which I adore and care about deeply) and stationery (which I also love).
It's probably a lateral move, as opposed to a step up in my career, because it's still bottom tier retail work. But I care so much more about the product, and damnit, I'm excited! Also, I never have to work for my horrible ex-manager again, which is even more thrilling!
Yeah, this was a not so stealth boast. But like I said, I'm thrilled.
