A new week starts tomorrow. Things will be better this week. I will be confident. I will get everything done that I need to. I will find at least 7 more people that I can hire for the store. I will conduct the interviews that I have with a fun seriousness and lots of smiles. I will go in to work early and stay late if it means I can get more done and get ahead of the game for the opening. I will not be afraid to ask questions.
I'm getting my old resolve back. I'm remembering how excited I was for this job way back when they offered me the position. The past two weeks just really knocked me down and I could not think of one positive thing that was going on. I know that I've done everything that I could do thus far, and that people should have been teaching me this whole time but they didn't. So now, I just have to try to teach myself the Aramark payroll and inventory systems, and a bunch of other stuff in a couple weeks, plus open the store if our opening date is still on track. Piece of cake.
I'm trying to be positive. I'm very lucky that I get to open and manage my own Einstein Bros. Bagel shop. Not really my own, but it's fun to think of it that way because in a sense it is mine. It's my project. And after we open I will get to make many people smile every day. That makes me happy.
Hopefully I can remember these things during the week when things inevitably get rough. I know it will all be fine.
I'm off to sleep. I took some Nyquil so I hope to sleep for at least 8 hours tonight. And I started to feel like I was getting a cold so I hope to ward off the symptoms. Good night.
