(no subject)
I've got a bit of time this morning prior to work so, I figured I'd slip in an update about all the things I've been doing since my last posting.
work
Naw, actually , its been a bit more than that (but not much). At work, I've been moved from the stores I was managing into a new one. No more stuffing plushies. Now, I'm doing dragons instead. Not that I mind the move, the "Emporium" is my favorite store in the whole park. The store consists of three areas, 1) The PKD (Paramount Kings Dominion) which sells all the Park named merchandise like T-shirts, plushies , cups, etc. 2) The Main section which sells dragon , fairy , and pirate figurines and t-shirts, and 3) the "Tiki" room that sells model ships and things one might expect to see for sale in the Florida Keys.
The only downside to the move is the other two co-managers of that store seem to disagree a lot over how things should be organized/arranged . This, leading to very little organization overall. This environment sort of sucks , cuz I feel caught in the middle of them both. Plus, in order for me to try and make any improvements, I'd have to go over their heads to an area manager to get anything accomplished without a pissing contest and, then, I'd still have animosity over my "taking over" to do things the way I feel they should be done when I am the "new kid on the block". With the Park only being open full time for another few weeks, I'm prolly just going to just try and ride it out. Odds are pretty good that I will not elect to return there next year. I'd like to do a good job for the remainder of this year, but not at the cost of a battle. I don't care enough. :P
Other than work: Pat returned home late Friday after spending the past week in Texas for work. Its nice to have him back home again. The puppies are all doing well and becoming little terrors constantly underfoot. Lots of fun watching them develope personalities and vie to see who's "alpha" :)
