VMML was the previous title. I pronounce VML "Vimel" and VMML "Vimmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmel"

former vm promoted to sr tl over softlines. I miss vm. Less team to deal with.

See if you can volunteer to help out the salefloor when needed. I would volunteer to help put up stray when the store slowed down (as long as I was the first to respond if a back up is needed). Eventually one of the salefloor tl's asked me if I could cover some softlines shifts and I jumped on...
