my stress is not alone.
At this moment, I'm feeling better.
This morning was stressful too, no boss + district manager = not fair. at all.
I went in early to do something, but the district found me other things to do.
Long story short, I was angry and frustrated all day until my boss finally got in. He looked like hell (aka stressed) and we kinda talked about some things. Turns out every store is a bad as ours. (well, close to as bad. some are worse i think). And everyone is feeling the pressure. So, he reassured me that whenever i'm getting flack from someone, it's probably just them releasing tension, and i'm supposed to let it roll off of me. Or tell him. and he'll take the flack instead.
So this made me feel better. That, and he said this would be the absolute worst it would be, next week our shipments go down and it's more likely to be cold any day now (which is why sales are so down and causing chaos).
We never had a meeting with this new person. I'm still really angry because I feel like I've been mislead about this person and their position at our store.
I did however get a random text from someone from another store saying that a certain other person may have mentioned me in a compliment of sorts.
whether or not this is true i'm not sure.
But then this morning my district mentioned a training schedule for assistant managers that he would like me to do with him starting in january when things calm down.
which makes me think i'm not doing as well as i could be, but i'm not bombing things. i don't think so anyway. well maybe. i don't know.
the talk that my boss and i had kinda grounded me better. I have differnt priorities for hte store. So what if it looks like crap? How many customers went out of the store with two items, not one? Did you find them what they were looking for, or did you also point something else out to them? Why don't you do your secret shops?
okay. this is boring. I'm such a stupid pawn sometimes.
most times.
bah.
5am tomorrow morning. it comes too soon.
