drum roll please……lol….I got the promotion. I’m now the assistant & I got the raise I wanted for work…….grin Now the head manager & myself need to get things back together there & I need to prove myself so I can get a big fat raise next time around……grin But that means much longer days for the next 2-3 weeks until we get our office all straighten out & staffed.

I thought I had done up an entry yesterday but………I was mistaken. I’ve been doing good, but forgot about yesterday…….lol

I have been working a lot. It was my day off but went in to get some work done since we have big bosses coming in tomorrow. So I’ll be getting off early Saturday or I would be getting some major overtime. They need to either promote me and get me on salary or allow overtime, cuz we need it.

I’m looking forward to the results that will be coming out of work over the next few weeks once we get staffed. The more I talk with the new GM and other key members of the staff we are all on the same page & look forward to the changes. I’m just disappointed that the assistant who is leaving won’t be around for it cuz I feel she would really appreciate it and would no longer feel as if all the work fell to her. It would be a management team like it should be. But maybe it is time for her to move on in her life…..she has gone through a lot over the years there.

One of the girls that work there, who I felt would do well in a management position, passed the test they give you for it. That was so cool. Now we just need to wait the 2 weeks it will take to train her so we can feel more stable on management coverage. I’ve also went and got one person hired, another one may be starting later next week and I have one more interview tomorrow.

We need to get fully staff and also need to get folks to either do their jobs or have them find another. That is what it is coming down to.

Just got done watching LOST………dang! That show knows how to leave you hanging……doesn’t help that I love watching Sayid……he is HOT! This summer is going to suck wanting for the new season……grrrrr

Hey everyone!

It was another long day at work. But I did get somethings accomplished. =) I have some interviews set up for tomorrow since we are short handed & we have one of people going to take the management test. We are 2 managers down & have found out that our sister store will be down a manger in 2 weeks. If our employee pasts the test then we can get her trained there starting as soon as next week. I think she would be a good manager, I just hope she tests well. Tests can freak people out sometimes.

I actually got something done today. I finished off the 2-3 months worth of receipts that had piled up. It wasn’t too bad but it could’ve easily gotten worse. I did catch up on emails yesterday….already have another pile starting….lol

I did want to start on letter writing and packing. But at least I got something done if not that.

I don’t remember if I told you, but we have a bird’s nest in one of our bushes. Harold spotted it the other day & there are 4 blue eggs with brown specks on it. He looked up the bird he saw that it was a blue jay.

Why am I telling you this, well this afternoon our youngest cat (Reggie) was at our screen door & the male blue jay was there and yelling at my cat. His nest is around the corner on the other side of the house……..no where near the front door where Reggie was at, but boy he was squaking at him loud! It was funny, Reggie just couched down and watched him until he flew way.

Talked to my folks the other day. It was great to catch up on the kids. I miss them.

We watched the remastered versions of the Star Wars IV-VI. Getting ready for when III is released. =) I love the movies but I don’t follow all the hype about it so I didn’t know that they added the younger verison of Anakin to the final scene of the Return of the Jedi when they showed the “ghosts” of Yoda & Obe Won (sp). It was wierd just a few scenes before that I was thinking how cool it would be for them to change the “ghost” to the yonger version before he changed to the dark side and that would be a perfect way to tie into the recent movies. Not only that, why show the version of him when he was with the dark side since he had gone back to the true Jedi force? So it made perfect sense to me. =)

I have to work early in the morning so I’ll be getting ready for bed here soon. I took a PM and now it is getting to me……….lol
