Ho hum...

After running two different stores in the last two weeks, and seeing the crap that managers have to put up with from the company, I'm not sure I want to have my own store. The district manager wrote my manager up yesterday, (my manager is on vacation, wasn't even there) for having too many empty spots on the shelves. There really weren't that many. When we order things, they come in multiple packs, and what doesn't fit on the shelves goes into backstock. Our manager usually gets in trouble for having too much backstock... Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't! There is so much ridiculous paperwork, stuff that the computer does, but managers have to go in and do it again in writing, time that could really be spent elsewhere. It is obvious that 90% of the big wigs in this company have never worked in one of our stores. Things they require may look good on paper, but it doesn't work in the real world.

It's an amazingly cool day for July in Kansas, (66 degrees at noon!!!!) I got off work early today, so I am going to clean, and do my laundry this afternoon and hopefully go work on going through some stuff at my house this evening. I will probably end up at Rhonda's though, lol, we never seem to go a day without seeing each other unless I'm out of town. Andy went to Colorado yesterday, and I think some things I said to him last night are probably working around in his head.

My son spent his first day with the new sitter yesterday... He had fun and she told me she had never had such well behaved child. (I thought yeah, just wait... It's only his first day!!! LOL) That's a load off my mind. My daughter started her new job yesterday, sounds like it went well. She is working 30 miles away for one of my stores competition companies....LOL She knows this business well, though, and should be really good.
