did NOT want to go into work tomorrow to finish some things up… however, Boss Lady offered overtime to do so at the end of the day. I was going to come in without pay, but yay, now I will get paid to do so!
or so they say.
All I have to do is show up on time (check for the past week since she said so) and I am perfect. I suppose there’s not such a need to obsess.
Here’s to the best stationer on the planet!
sort of. and excited. have to go in early to finish some orders/paperwork etc. gather thoughts and $$$$$$$$$$$. yes.
so the prez of cranes store ops is coming tomorrow. just in town, wants to see the store. we are a platinum account. there are only 30 in the world. we rule.
H helped me pick out a cute professional outfit. and i found my glass bead spectacle strings which make me feel like a stationery goddess supreme. watch me go!
i love love love my design, now
but…
may want to make very very subtle changes.
perhaps change ink color? and make the paper florescent white!
yes, I totally rocked this week at work.
two high $ bat mitzvahs, some good weddings—both custom and catalog, annnnnnd wedding accessories that are going to add up for a destination wedding in Lake Tahoe. Ca-ching. Hope we make the bonus…
Week is not off to a good start, as I completely forgot about an early meeting Monday and just came in at the usual time. Bitch of it is, I was awake, just sitting here at home surfing the internet. I went in yesterday to go over the meeting talking points with my manager. Bosses are now keeping track of mistakes and logging them, which will affect performance reviews. As I desperately need a raise come review-time, I am going to put forth a renewed effort of perfection. I just need to write neatly, think things through, take my time, and ask questions if I am uncertain. I need to be, in a word, meticulous.
I would like to determine the reason for the good day. Last Monday was just awful, and I blamed that on Monday. So, let’s see, why was this a good day today:
- Got about 6.5 hours of sleep (about average for me)
- Woke up at 6:30 to move my car to the left side of the street to avoid towing
- Showered (nice and hot today!) and was out the door by 7:40
- Slightly late to my early morning physical at 8:00 but they gave me funky directions. Physical went well, over by 9, so I had a ton of time to get to work! And my new doctor is a youthful woman, probably in her early thirties. I had issue with my old doc, so I changed, and I think she’s going to work out very well! I have another appointment for lady things w/ her in a couple weeks. We’ll see how that goes. Doctor visits that involve putting one’s legs into stirrups are always the true test of doctor comfort.
- Stopped at my favorite Bucks for my usual drink and a lovely raspberry scone. Sarah was working, nice to see a familiar face. and my drink was perfect!
- Got to work about 9:20, after I stopped at the bank across street.
- Listened to my i-pod and got good some work done until we opened at 10.
- Customer flow was pretty steady today, so I didn’t get a lot of paperwork done for the wedding orders I am writing, but I am going to try and go in a bit early tomorrow and knock those all out.
- I was sharp and attentive with customers. I tried my best to be meticulous, but one never knows until we see proofs/orders how meticulous I really was. :\
- Took lunch really early and the day still flew by. Kathy said we had a good day sales-wise. Hopefully we’re on track for making our month incentive. I really need a bonus check this month!
- Happy customers today! I think that makes a huge difference. I will be very, very sweet and patient with you if you take forever to decide which shade of green you want, as long a you’re nice about it. Seriously. I will be very sweet and patient with you if you’re nasty because I get paid to be, but honestly, I will hate you for ruining my day. Why are some people so rude and cranky??? It can jut ruin me because I get less confident when people are mean and critical over things that are out of my control.
- Pretty, spring-like day is helping, too. Last Monday was rainy.
So, that’s why I think I had a good day today. I think I need to start drinking coffee more often in the mornings because it’s helped the last few times I’ve had some before work. Also the being more than half-awake when I roll in helps!
An aside to Chai: Look at me, using a bullet list!!!!
I spent all 6 1/2 hours at work today with 2 clients. 2 frickin’ clients. Fucking make a decision already, people.
