Is it LJ or my iPad app being buggy???
We have the house back to ourselves. With all the drama going on with work I have been playing the hermit in my spare time. It is nice to have my happy fun anti social time again. Mostly I am thrilled that I don't have to wear clothes anymore...except when it is cold. Denver why so cold lately? Well you did give us a white Xmas!
I survived the holidays with my usual flare. I managed to get everyone's gifts to them on time this year! R*CK ST*R!
*SIGH*
I have been exhausted these past few days. We are one person short at work, and my current sales associate has been quite a bit flaky. She has left me working three doubles this week during promo change over. I was left with minimal coverage and setting up the promo entirely by myself. It set me a whole day behind. I also put in to get my overtime approved since I had to cover the shifts she could not make. My plan is to bring a new person on board later in the week. I have two canidates that are eager to excel. I am considering bringing them both on board. I intend to start the new year with a new crew. Since I am a reliable responsible person, I have those expectations for others. This is especially important in the workplace. I do not think it is too much to ask to take a little bit of pride in your work, even if it is a part time job. Unforeseeable circumstances happen and I am more then willing to help out with covering a shift. However, there is a huge difference between life's minor emergencies and a lack of planning. Also, three times in one week is excessive and unexceptable. I am easy going and willing to sacrifice a piece of my self to help out another, but when you begin to take advantage of me I must put my foot down.
I am still hashing out my NYE plans. I have a few parties that I have been invited too. Given the week I have had, this girl is going to drink like a champ. I have this deep inkling that my sales associate is going to blow off her shift New Years Day! Even though she has been scheduled for this shift for 3 months! I made it very clear to her that she will cover this shift. If she will not be making it herself she will be responsable for finding the coverage. I emphasized the notice she was given for this shift. Believe me if I get a call Tuesday morning saying she is not comming in, I will not be a happy camper! This is the first New Years Day in three years that I wil be taking off work!
