Congrats, Runnergirl. That's great, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Lots to learn, and new stuff every year when manufacturers change their products, so you'll never be bored. Will you be mostly selliing or doing repairs? Good to see more women in bike shops. When I worked in a bike shop 1973-1976, I would frequently pick up the phone and, on hearing a woman's voice, the person would say "Can I talk to a mechanic?" I would usually reply "What do you need?" and answer their questions. But sometimes I got so sick of the sexist assumptions that I'd just hand the phone to a guy. Guess that was the wrong approach, but when I'd heard it for the 3rd or 4th time in one day I was upset.
