Well, my week was better at work, but still completely crazy because the store is getting closer and closer to opening and I don't have much help or support. I'm excited and terrified at the same time. I don't really feel like thinking about it right now ( Read more... )

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 ( Read more... )

I stayed up till 3 in the morning last night. It's been so long since I have stayed up late, and it was so nice to just be hanging out late at night knowing that I didn't have to be up early. I ended up getting up around 10:15, and even though I would have liked to sleep later I guess I'd had enough sleep. I can always nap later if I feel like ( Read more... )

Hmm. I never really understood when people spoke of how horrifying their jobs could be. I mean, Outback was bad, but not really till the few months before I left.

Mandi's coming to visit tomorrow! I so can't wait. I think it's been almost 2 years since I've seen her. Her sister has job training in Chicago so she's staying with her at a hotel in the city. We're going to hang in the city tomorrow after I get done working, I'm going to take them to the Italian Village. Then on Tuesday she's going to come ( Read more... )

I knew that eventually Einstein's construction would really get going, and then I would get my ass kicked with a million things to do after waiting for the ass-kicking to happen for the past 3 months. It happened yesterday. Ordering registers, ordering office supplies, ordering smallwares, ordering other crap, ads in papers, interviewing for the ( Read more... )

Work blew this week. What a horrible intro to corporate America. One manager walked off her shift on Wednesday, and therefore got fired when she came in on Thursday. Then today, at 4:00 on a fucking Friday afternoon Richard (the hospital production manager) got fired too. I have no idea why. I kind of stayed clear just because I've only been ( Read more... )

Dan finally made it to Florida on Monday night. I've had Hershey with me since Sunday. She definitely tests my patience, but she's gotten better as the week has gone on. She's so adorable, but I'm ready for her to be done with the puppy phase ( Read more... )
