Long Day

It was a long day at work. At least I got done what I had set out to do today. That rarely happens there…..lol

It has been interesting, as I have said we are down to 2 managers (the assistant and I). The assistant out ranks me & has been with the company for about 5 years. After a bunch of stuff that has made her unhappy, she has put in her notice. Since I’m the one that is going to be the only one left from the management staff from when I arrived, I’ve been making a lot of long term decisions. I try to be careful and not step on her toes, cuz I know I drive her nuts sometimes with wanting to change things & for the respect for her years there & I like her, she is cool person. But now that she has put in her notice she is much happier & less stressed…..I just wish I was…..lol I am but I’m not. I’m less stress cuz I won’t have to worry about making her unhappy but I’m stressed cuz we don’t have the management team we are suppose to have. Not only that, one of our best people is out for 3 weeks for a medical problem……. That is what we don’t need.

We suppose to be getting a new general manager, I was hoping for this week….no such luck. She is coming from across state & still needs to find a place to live here. =( I have an employee who I would love to be able to promote up to a manager, but need to talk to my DM about it. Of course, I would just love to clone her……grin

Harold has the Pacers on. I would love to be able to stay up and watch it……but between having to work early tomorrow & my head hurting from exhaustion, I don’t think it is going to happen. I’m going to head to bed & watch it from there.

A Rambling Day……..

I got a day off today. We went for a bike ride this morning, haven’t done that for a few weeks….I’m afraid to think how long it has been. I know when I work evenings it is the perfect schedule for us to get a ride in that day, but since we got the new blog I’ve really wanted to focus on getting it set the way I want it to be.

We did get out and do a few errands. I then spent the rest of the afternoon working on emails. Thought I had them all done but found a few that got caught in my spam filter. I love the spam filter, but I don’t understand why it would catch the same email address that it let through a couple of weeks ago & I had responded to.

I have to work early the next few days so I took a PM & I’m going to be headed to bed here soon…….actually I’m getting kind of loopy right now……….lol……night

Day of Reflections

We finally got news on who our GM will be, just don’t know when they’ll be starting since they are coming from across the state. Just knowing that we got one is a stress reliever. We really need some more managers in there at work. Our DM will be in this Friday, so I’m going to corner him with questions….grin

Yesterday was the 10th Anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing If you’ve never been to the site, it is a must. But you will have take a lot of kleenex. I can’t even write about with out choking up so that is all I’m going to say on that.

Today is the Anniversary of 1999 Columbine Shootings I remember volunteering at the shelter when that happened & we all stopped in stunned silence to watch it on TV.

It doesn’t help that Hilter was born on this date. =(

So it is a day of reflections on world events.
