Ssalefish GSO First Look #200 for 3.3.21
Several of milestones this week, our 200th week of new comics (on time every Wednesday at that ::knocks on wood::) and our longest tenured Greensboro employee’s last week at the shop (though both had some gaps along the way)!
At Jay’s suggestion, Hannah had her try-out during our first Free Comic Book Day back in 2017, and we were so blown away by her efforts that we offered her a job straight away, but we didn’t realize at the time that she had already signed her life away to the Mouse for a year and joined the Disney College Program. So then Colton became our first employee six months later (that one’s worked out pretty well, too) and Hannah became our second employee instead when she got back from Florida.
For the last three years I’ve been so impressed by her ability to manage 18+ course hours at school and a full time job (when I was at UNCG, I felt put upon if I was taking 12 hours and working 12 hours) and her fortitude and practicality in all situations. We knew when she graduated in December that she was destined for so much more.
In all honesty, her dependability and stalwartness has caused Jay and I to step up our game as business people (Disney is a tough resume to live up to) and personally with her resolution to social awareness and health, and she’s allowed us to live richer and fuller lives outside of the store than we had before her.
I have no idea how I will fill all of the hours we would have spent talking about theme parks.
