Yeah, it's actually been my goal. I'd RATHER work in community/public relations type stuff, but they don't think that they need that.
Problem is that the guy I've been Assistant Manager for for the past two years more or less thinks of the assistant as a warm body with a key. Zero training in "how stuff works." I think he thinks that it makes his job safer. What I've learned about for the past two years was cars and car parts. But hey, that's a thing too...
