Full Day Of Getting Nothing Done

Okay, so the day consisted of me pretty much doing nothing. Well, actually I didn't get anything accomplished. I started the day taking my kid to school. He has a social studies test coming up on Wednesday. He is struggling a bit in that class. I then went on to a store in one of the small towns which is pretty much hooked on to ours. I took a conference call there and walked the store. I then headed to our future marketplace store. I went in to see all of the changes that have happened so far. The store manager talked to me and wanted me to come back with one of the directors to go over some construction moves. It's going to get ugly in there.

I ate lunch in my car, which consisted of a chicken dinner. By the time I got to my next store, I was ready for a nap. But, no. I went in and talked to the store manager about promoting his deli second to a deli manager in one of our other stores down the street. The girl gladly accepted the position, which I figured she would. She said the money would come in handy.

I came home for "lunch". Actually, I came home to kill some time. After about an hour, I headed over to the west side and picked up some product from one store and took it to another small store located in a smaller town close by. I got a call from the director (deli/bakery) and had to head back to the remodel store. We walked the store with the same manager and I told them I had to get out of there.

I had to go back to the west side to pick up my dry cleaning for my trip this week. Total miles on my car today - 112. yep, it sucks.

Tomorrow will consist of a dull, dry, boring meeting with the pres and vps. Every zone will be there with all DMs and zone specialists and the department directors will be there as well.

can't wait.
can you sense my enthusiasm?
booooooring...

You must put on a lot of miles on your car... Be careful as you drive around! :-)

That sounds like a busy day. At least you aren't stuck in an office all day, right?
