It's official!
Ok, it's officially official, tho technically it's been official for about three weeks. And now that the cat is out of the bag around the area, I'll be transferring from my beloved #382 to store #20 in Penetanguishene.
What does this mean, you may ask? More money (store makes more sales there), ten minutes more of travel time there every morning and ten minutes more to come home every afternoon; and also, the search for two more staff, since two of my current staff wish not to make the move as well, travelling expenses being the big problem. But completely understood...in the meantime, I have so much to do in less than two weeks!! Train new staff, get organized by packing up what I have in the office (which includes about 20 small boxes of sales period paperwork which I have to keep for the next seven years!!) and in general be ready to roll by 7 am on May 1st, the day of my exit inventory.
In other news, I *think* I've met someone new....I say 'think' only 'cause it's been real hard to hook up; he owns his own business too and has been busy putting a 2000 sq. ft. addition to his own house so he's been quite hard to pin down for more than five minutes. But when we both have the time, we spend time chatting up on the phone. So far, we have plans to hook up next weekend but have no idea at this point where, when and what*g* Oh well, it's nice to have something else to look forward to besides my transfer:)
