6 Days
9 years ago
Work is still legitimately trying to kill me. And heading into this time of year, I'm sure the bullshit will only continue to intensify over the course of the summer...
As you may recall from my recent journal entry, we have a lady manager filling in for the last week before our GM finally returns after having surgery. When I say "week", it's really more like 4 days...as I just found out today that after tomorrow, she's leaving to go to yet another store. Which is fine. We have 2 other managers after all who can cover over the weekend. Or so I thought...
Turns out that the manager previously in this temp GM position had written the schedule assuming that the lady manager would be here through the weekend. In fact, she's supposed to work the morning shift on Saturday... except that this other store scheduled her to CLOSE on Saturday [2-10PM]. Obviously it would be horrendous for her to have to work from open till close at two different stores all in one day [though, as many in retail will tell you, it isn't unheard of and happens more often than you'd think]. So, that now leaves us with no opening manager as one of my other two will be closing and the other specifically requested the day off.
All this to say, I've now been roped into serving as the opening manager. Which is...sort of scary, for someone who is NOT in a management position and who has ZERO experience in running the store for more than say...3 hours. I'll be praying that everyone will be out enjoying the nice [albeit HOT] weather and that we won't be busy till the closing manager comes in at 1PM. I'm sure that won't be the case but...I can hope...
Anyways, the whole reason that I'm posting this journal is not just to whine about ongoing grievances about work, but rather just to let everyone know that progress on various projects [my recent YCH, adopts, and trades] will be stunted thanks to this inconvenience. I will work to get as much accomplished as I can with the free time I will have. And I suppose the only -good- news I can offer is that the next weekend should hopefully be a 3 day weekend for me. So, hurray for tentatively having lots of time to work on things!
