Hectic week

To answer the burning question on everyone's mind: I am not manager as yet and it doesn't look like I will be any time soon. Which is fine. As things have unfolded, I've begun to realise how much I never was taught or told about my responsibilities in my position now, never mind the added responsibilities of a manager. The manager of our other store is going to run both stores for a while to get us back up to speed--and things may end up staying like that, though that's not definite yet.

It's been a rather crazy week--busy with holiday shoppers--plus schedule changes due to the need to cover the former manager's shifts. I ended up opening two mornings this week (meaning I had to be to work at 6 am!), which was not fun but it needed to get done. After having opened yesterday, I ended up having to go back to help close last night because of another scheduling mishap. I was not thrilled, especially because it meant having an intermission to my dinner with the boy, but the person whose fault it was is buying me a bottle of Glenlivet to make up for it.

One more day at work tomorrow and then it's off to Massachusetts for the holiday. Still not talking to my mother which means only dealing with my father's family, which means that I'll actually enjoy the holiday. Next week should be better work-wise. It's when the other manager is going to start coming in and essentially re-educating us. Although that might sound a bit scary, I'm actually looking forward to it. As I said, I've realised how much I'm supposed to know about my job that I don't and that rather bothers me.

Probably I won't post until after Christmas. It's nice to be going into Christmas without being stressed out for a change. Hopefully it won't be stressful. I mean, it's only my dad's family. Which means that there isn't really much to be stressed about.
