Job Promotion

A few weeks back Matt received not one but two job promotion offers.  One he was expecting, the other came out of left field.  He was offered the GM position at his current casino, Gold Dust West Reno(he was expecting).  But they also extended another offer to him as an assistant GM at the Sands Regency where his company is expanding and just purchased this Casino.  This offer came as a curve ball since his company does not currently have any assistant GM's.  They were essentially creating a job for him.  Both offers amazing opportunity.

I knew he would take the more challenging job (that's just who he is).  He could have taken the easier road and accepted the GM position but he chose to go big at the Sands.  His responsibilities have grown tremendously, hiring and training his replacement, and gearing up to now manage 10 departments and somewhere in the ballpark of 200 employees at a much larger Casino. 

The official takeover begins at midnight July 1.  He has been working long days (some 16 hour days).  Needless to say we have seen him very little this past month.  We sure miss him being home, but love hearing about how much he loves this job.  I just hope in the next few months we can find a more normal work/home balance.
