Rain On Me - What Happened To My Parade?

It has been raining all day. Right now we are going through a nice thunderstorm. Nothing too crazy, just a nice thunderstorm. I love days like these. Makes you want to curl up with a book and stay inside.

Work was weird today. I found out through the grapevine that someone is getting added into my zone to help me out a little bit. Now, normally I would be pissed because I would think the "suits" are thinking I can't handle it. But, with all that is going on and all of the remodels we have going on, I do need the help. I am only a little peeved. The reason is because they are trying to make a position for this person. She is stepping down from a management position and they don't want to use her as an "hourly associate". So, she is going to be doing some training in the zone. Problem is, the training she will be doing is something she couldn't even do in her own store. ??? Uh, yeah. Whatever.

Well, I need to go and start dinner. I hope the siding people actually show up with this thunderstorm. I will get back to all of you later on what we decide to do.

Cheryl asked me to post about grand opening week. What I did this past week was not for grand opening week at our new store. I was getting prepared to walk the district department heads through four departments within a store. I had to spend some time in this particular store to help get them ready. I mainly helped merchandise in these four departments.

The grand opening of the new store I was talking about previously won't happen until July 15. I have to turn in schedules now so the "suits" have an idea what to expect as far as help needs. We need a lot of help.

So, let's talk about something else. I am going to be getting new siding on this house. Right now we have ugly white. I am looking for any suggestions here. Terri just did her house and I really love the color. I wouldn't mind going that route. I also saw a pretty light gray color with burgandy brown windows. Does anyone have a clue? Cuz, I sure don't.

The kid is doing pretty well in school. He is still having some social issues with other kids. Trying to fit in can be so tough. He went to private school for so long and now he is in public school. It's a big change for a kid to go through. But, how do you tell a kid that it doesn't matter what happens in junior high and high school? That no one cares if you were popular or not? Kids don't understand that until they go through it. I know I had to learn it for myself.

It's good to be back. I apologize for not being consistent on my posts and when visiting your blogs. Have a great evening!

I'm Baaaaack!

Hooray! I am somewhat back to my normal schedule. I will hopefully be close to my blogging friends again. It sucked being away working for so long. The store walk was absolutely wonderful. It was picture perfect.

Post, post, post!!!

I am up late doing work on this new store we are remodeling. I have to turn in sales and hours for Grand opening week. woo.hoo...

Anyway, I am not updating daily until after Wednesday. I just can't do it all. I have come to realize I can't be everything to everyone. Meloncutter - Do you hear me? YOU can't be everything to everyone in the blasted company!! Take time to smell the daffodils.

I do hope everyone had a great weekend. Sorry I haven't been commenting regularly. I promise to get back in the routine once my Tuesday meeting is done and over with. Have a great couple of days!!

Okay. The blasted siding people never showed up to give us our estimates. I am looking at paying cash, so they totally missed out on a very good opportunity. Basta...

Moving along. It is cloudy today and it is breezy. Feels good outside. I am working on the ten loads of laundry I have to get done by this evening. Hooray.

Back to work tomorrow and I am not looking forward to it. We are having a lunch for my boss. It's her birthday. We are hoping she will have our bonus checks with her. I feel like spending some money. It will help me get out of this funky mood.

Well, I shall check in with all of you later. Good day...
