For serious reals. It was just not a good day. Or well I thought it was a good day only it wasn't and whoo is that a lot of disapointment. I can handle bad days, really, as long as I know they're bad. Thinking I was having an awesome day and then finding out I actually hadn't was a huge letdown.
Every morning the opener sets up a daily planner for the workday, and this includes how much the store is planned to make on a given day. This amount is printed on the schedule, along with the total $$ per four hour work segment. If you make all your money you've 'made' your segment, the same for the day overall.
So I looked at the schedule, copied down what I looked at and went from there. Lately, we've been having a rough patch and I haven't been making the segments I've been the leader for. (Which I've always felt is a reflection on how well of a leader I actually am. Also the level of customer service I've provided to my customers.) So today, we were actually busy and according to what I had copied down that morning not only were we making plan, we'd exceeded the mark by a huge margin. I was dancing on sunshine people. Only at the end of my shift when I went to copy down how much I'd done per segement on the tracker (cause they do count how many segments each manager actually completes) I realized that the numbers didn't match up. I had actually copied down yesterday's numbers instead of today's. And the amount of money a store is expected to make on a thursday is really different from the amount of money we're supposed to make on a friday.
By about $900. So not only did I not make either of the two segments I was in charge for, I came up drastically short. Which means I didn't make a single segment I worked. Not even one, for the entire week.
Put that on top of yesterday's Supernatural episode and I'm down. Really down. Not even Webkinz can cheer me up.
