So... all is going well... for the moment anyway.

Okay... so, I survived the week of hell that my manager went on vacation... I think I lead the store into a sales loss... and yes, it is partially my fault, I was too busy trying to make sure all the operational shit got done to be on the floor and selling.... though I did at least support my staff, but when there are only 3 people (*including myself*) plus 1 person per day from another store.... it gets a bit tiresome.

I knew what kind of work it would be to keep things right, espically with all of the things that could have happened this week. Our store is one of the 3 in the 30 store district that is going to get a re-model, which includes a bunch of things, but mainly there is a lot of prep work in our situation, that HAD to get done.... well it did... but that required me to be not so "on the sales floor" for most of the week. We got audited, and failed with a 76% (passing is 85% and higher), partially my fault, but if we didn't have help from Pat @ 1137 (who loves to do the tedious shit) we wouldn't have done that well. ANYWHO... so yeah, at least Steve didn't come back and start yelling at me (my day off was his first day back). I kinda know he wanted to because there were a few things that piled up, and a couple I forgot about, all in all.... I think I at least did okay.


So, now that all of that happiness is over... I come back to my place in concord tonight (first time in 4 days), and it is even worse than it was 4 days ago.... as far as... CLEAN. Yeah, so I immediatly start cleaning (after coming home from work mind you), and throw out 6 30 Gallon trash bags of shit, and now just sit down (an hour and a half later) to write a bit, and realize I BARELY EVEN DENTED the amount of built up shit!

I don't know why I expected this place to be clean, but I figured they would get tired of sitting in filth and get their lazy asses up and actually do something about it.... man was I wrong.... it just got worse. So earlier on last month, we all kind of had an agreement... we would have our own little sections of the apt. to clean, which kind of worked out... my area didn't get TOO horrible, and the computer room (at least my area of that) didn't get more than a few things piled up.... ::looks around:: yeah, I really can't say the same for theirs.

In other news, Svetlana is running wonderfully still... getting great gas mileage, and no more little quirks (like an "ERR" on the EDU, or some wierd brake light issue on the EDU). So thats one thing going well right now.

Laura is doing good, she's stressed because of her current living situation, but other than that, that is one more thing that is going well for me.....


Just waiting for something to go wrong here... it all seems too well.

Well, TTFN
