Over the last couple of weeks I have been conspicuous by my absence. Well if not all of you know I am a Store Manager of a large retail outlet here in Australia. (Think "Staples") and that's the industry i'm in. Well as you know the GFC has hit the world hard over the last couple of years and obviously the retail industry as well, so if you could say i'm under pressure daily would be an understatement. So anyways we just had a new "National Operations Manager" appointed and the "word" was "lookout he wants some heads to roll". Then it was told to us a few weeks ago that he would be visiting my store on the 20th June with the Managing Director of my company. The reason he was ..... well not wanting to gloat or anything like that ...but in the middle of June my store was announced as the "Store of the Year" at our national conference ( we have 130 stores in Australia) ....Tray can tell you about that night i won ....but that's another story lol. So he wanted to come visit this so called "Store of the Year" lol. So my first words were "FUCK ME" can i give the award back lol so he can go somewhere else.
So after my initial reaction the plans were set with my leadership team and off we went to make the store "sparkle" lol. So yeah 14 days workin 12 to 15 hours a day have taken there toll with my real life and my online life..... and for that i apologise to one very special lady for not being able to spend as much time as i would want with her and also for being a bit of a grump at times. Hides from Tray lol.
So anyways i will be catching up on some sleep over the weekend and hopefully might see my friends in chat and be able to catch up and enjoy your company again :) Did I tell you i just love coming into lit at your night time !!!!!!! i hate timezones!!!!!!!
