New Learnings

Good... morning!

I should be in bed, but I'm kind of buzzing still. If you've read the last couple posts, you know that I've been promoted at WalMart to a CSM (Customer Service Manager). Well, tonight was my first night actually getting a "hands-on" experience. It was exciting! Actually, it made the night go a little faster than I'm used to. Before I knew it, it was supper time. Of course, I was only working a 3-11... we'll see tomorrow how another hour affects my perception. Also... we're only 2 days into the work week (tomorrow being the 3rd) and I'm already over by an hour. :S *sigh* So... I'll try to trim down a few minutes here and there, but it won't be easy. lol

Since I do have to get up early again tomorrow and be to Things Remembered before working at WalMart at 2, I had better get going to bed. Frustrations will be expressed about that one later. *sigh*.... Oh, what the hell.

Okay, so... Things Remembered is still going through management switch over... The Manager is set, but she hasn't hired a new Assistant Manager yet.... so I think she's still trying to depend on me for it, but I'm not able to put in that many hours... She still schedules me whenever she can. For example, last week, I worked at WalMart starting at either 2 or 3 all week. She ended up scheduling me open to 1 or 2 with respect to my schedule at WalMart... I got through it fine. The hours aren't really the problem. It's the fact that she's relying on me to do all the engraving that she won't do or that the others can't do. She's hiring ladies that are middle age and older. Now, they're great ladies... nothing against them. However... it takes them a while to do... everything. Therefore, I've pretty much become The Engraver. I'd like to know what is going to happen this coming weekend when I'm gone from Thursday until Tuesday... Is she going to say that certain orders won't be done for like 4 days?! Especially glass or carry-ins. Carry-ins could probably get by with that... but any glass orders..? How about big orders? I just... I should have known that it would happen this way... but I really didn't expect this. *sigh* I'm trying to tell myself that it's just a rough patch and it'll get better.... I hope....


Alright... to bed for reals. lol
