Tuesday 128

Well I survived. It was a long a exhausting week but I made it. Privina was in true mean form. On Thursday she told me to come in at 2am so she could give Carol the day off. She never did give Carol the day off. Then she never schuduled anyone after 6am when I was supposed to leave, so I wound up staying till almost 7:30am. Then on Friday...the suppose busiest day of the shopping year. She had me in at 4:30am and then I was by myself after the 3rs shifters left. YIKES...to say I was pissed was an understatement but I got through it. Now I can focus on getting my area to be looking like it should. :)

Tuesday 121

Its gonna be a LONG day Current mood: aggravated

First of all, its official. Starting next Monday Privina will no longer be the manager of the fashion department. We are getting Glenda which is going to be a much welcome change. Today for ALL day long its only going to be Privina and myself for the entire area. With as busy as it has been we certainly do not have enough coverage for anything today! Wish me luck!

Monday 120

Where did the weekend go? I think I was too busy all weekend. I don't remember it at all. I spent Friday night with the kids and most of Saturday with them. Saturday night I went to the hotel where Marilyn and Chris were and we hung out in the hot tub of awhile. Yesterday I went to the store to grab a few things and wound up doing a bit of work. And now this week is going to be on hetic week. Working normal hours today, tommorrow, and Wednesday, but then I have to be there at 2am on Thursday morning, and 4:30am on Friday morning. Wish me luck

Friday 116

Finally a good night sleep last night. I stayed home from practice and went to bed at 9pm and fell sound asleep. Tonight I will be up "late" as I have the kids this weekend and they love to stay up past their bedtime.
Work continues to be busy. Yesterday we had the vendor from the new fine Jewelry company come in and she got "miffed" that we marked up HER displays. I told her they were not hers but that they were MEIJERS and I was doing what was best for the company at the time. Well that shut her right up. She seems like she is a fricking know it all...and those of you who know me know that is a attitude I despise the MOST. Heck I don't mind people knowing more that me. I happen to love learning, but people who act like she does really piss me off. I am going to give her one more chance and if out next meeting goes the same way I am going to ask if we can get someone new to call on the store.

Thursday 115

Wow, last nights class went very well. The kids did such a good job with the "boogie" song. The parents and the rest of the teachers loved it. For our craft project we made our own "Tecnicolor Dreamcoats"The parents were please with results.
I talked with mom last night and found out more about dads heart situation. He goes in on Tuesday of next week to find out when he gets his pacemaker if thats the route they are going to take. Mom thinks that its the best route but apparently there might be other options...? She also asked me about my not sleeping....apparently my little sister cannot keep her mouth shut...:P She did give me a little hint which I tried. Taking a asprin one hour before I went to bed did seem to help. I fell asleep right away last night. :)

Wednesday 114

Bad news...Good news...maybe Better news Current mood: optimistic
Ok...bad news first. Privina is making us all work on Thanksgiving. The good news is that I could pick when I wanted to work and how many hours. So I am working from 5am to 8am and then off to church. The even better news is that we might be getting a new person in the fashion area. I can't say who it is as in case some of you "yahoos" from work (right Corrine) read this. The person we might be getting will be a HUGE assest to the area. I certainly hope that the rumor is true.

Tuesday

One of these days/nights I will get enough sleep. I don't know what is keeping me up till all hours. Last night I was in bed by 8:30 but I nevwer fell asleep till almost midnight. When you have to be up at 5 in the morning that is a tad on the late side in my opinion.
I have a lot to keep my busy at work today. More holiday build orders came in yesterday afternoon. Lots of new watches etc.....
Wish me luck also.....Dr. Rodguiez office called and reminded me that I am due for another IVP!!! YUCK

Friday 109

My father. Many of you know that my mom has cancer and it dealing with it quite well. I have not said anything about my father as he is the type of man who strong (in my eyes) and quiet (except when he is angry ;) ) I have always looked up to him and admired him for the qualities he possess. With that being said my father...My "Popcycle" is not well. For around 30 years he has been on high blood pressure medication which masked a problem with his heart. He started a new medication a few months ago with uncovered a irregular heartbeat. They have tried many different things to get the heart to beat normal again and they have all failed. Yesterday they stopped his heart electrically and restarted it and that failed to work also. Now they are looking into open heart surgery and installing a pacemaker. Please keep him and my mom in your prayers.

Thursday 108

Let me just say SHIT....which stands for Sure Happy Its Thursday. I was pretty busy at work yesterday, and on top of it all my boss tried telling me that I had to be at work on Thanksgiving day. I sopke with her and told her that I had an obligation to my church as I cantor for that Mass every year. She told me that no one would have that day off. I then told her that I was the top senority person in the department and I should be able to get it off and her reaction was well just wait and see. Oh well....if I have to call in sick on that day I will.

Wednesday 107

For the time being I am all caught up. I finished up with everything yesterday afternoon and it felt so good. I know that it is just a matter of hours before I am behind again, but the feeling I have right now that I am all caught up is a pretty good one.
Tonight in class we are practicing for our little song next week. Everything should go very well. The kids have been excited about this song since they heard it the first week of class. Wish us luck that it all goes well. :)

Tuesday 106

Anything that could of went wrong yesterday did. I was way too busy doing work in other areas other than my own. Then of course coperate decided to do a "Suprise" visit. My area was trashed and I caught heck. They don't seem to realize that we do not have enough people for me just to spend all of my time in Jewlery. Well here is hoping that today is a better day.

Monday 105

2 nights in a row now I have fallen asleep very well but have had some horrific dreams. I drempt that I was in charge of babysitting Emily and there was a mad man after us. Then last night I drempt that Mom was sicker than she was letting us know and that I got diagnosed with cancer also. I woke up in tears. Lets hope tonight brings a more restfull slumber.

Friday 102

Well yesterday was a switch. Here I thought that I was going to have a ton of things to do and guess what. Molly had the night before put away almost all of the items. I could not believe it. I got my rack check done and was ready for business all before 10am! They pull me and put me on a lane for almost an hour, and right after I came back they delivered almost 15 full boxes of holiday build orders so I still have my work cut out for me today. I was just so thankfull that Molly did all she did the night before. :)

Thursday 101

So much to do, so little time. WIth taking Monday off I am so far behind right now. Every time I think I made a dent in it, they pull me to go run a lane or to help out in fashions. Right now I think I have at least over 20 boxes of product waiting to be checked in and be taken care of. On top of all that I have to do the rack check today as there is going to be no team leaders in.

Wednesday 100

Brrrrr.....It is so cold this morning. I do believe that yesterday was the last day for wearing shorts for the year.
Was extemely busy at work all day yesterday. There was a ton of Jewlery shipped and I still need to put most of it away as we were very busy with customers most of the day. The regional manager from Combine came in and we discussed what still needed to be done. Right away I do not think that I like her as see seems very pushy and aggressive. She also wants things done her way, or else. I am sorry to inform her that the Jewlery department is mine and I will make it so it runs smoothly for me and my team, not for her. I am really going to try to give her the benefit of the doubt. She and I were both very rushed when she came in.
