Your birthday is one of the biggest drinking days in Canada?
Happy Birthday! I'll raise a Molson to you!
Molson? Ugh...well, Molson M maybe. Yeah it' a National Holiday, what can I say?
Never sold anything today myself.
Always a great feeling to not be responsible for the problem. Happy birthday Brent!
No, today, I truely was, the solution
Isn't it funny how people don't understand the fact that if you screw up, being all pissy about it after you get called out makes it worse. I've been promoted twice in my career for the sole fact that when everyone around me started getting ticked off at every little thing I just kept doing the same thing I had been doing, but somehow by comparison it looked like I was really stepping up.
Well, I've stepped it up a bit, but really it's no more then what I've learned to do, and a good mix of procedure and common sense. I don't mind saying, I make around $26/hour and they should get their $$'s worth. The one guy is so oblivious to anything it's not funny anymore (well, I still take shots at it) and cannot understand why there is problems. The other is now T minus 2 months till retirement, and does not care anymore.
The problem is though, all promotions are seniority based, throught the district/region and in some cases, provincial, so I have a way to go there.
Happy Birthday Brent!
I used to go to Tucker's Marketplace all the time. My office used to be right down the street (on Attwell Drive).
We would go before Major's games now and then, and usually go on my/DW's birthdays simply for the free meal, and the kids are "pay their ages" still, so it works out nice.
Thanks all again for the birthday wishes, it was interesting to say the least. Boss ended up catching this NASTY bug from his son, so called in sick. I was quite
at this, meant useless was in charge. So I laid out the cash assignments etc, sent out the orders that needed to go, and got to the 18 skids (!) of stock to go out, including a LOT of beer (that SOMEONE ordered in excess
). I got my trusted friend Sharon to help (she who had her face cut by broken glass last year) she is a harder worker then me. We plowed through the skids as best as we could (by myself 1/2 hour per skid, we did a couple 10 mins easily), but there were lots of delays too, scanner issues etc, and I had to take time to handle staff issues. And worse of all, in the morning, everyone decided to stay running cash, no help whatsoever, just stood around
. In the end though, we got 'er done, and Boss called to chevk out progress was elated we got things fixed. Needless to say, I won major points and made myself to look pretty damn good to boot. There are a few jealous folks now, I riled up.
Poor babies. Mind you, I took a whopping 5 minute break in 9 1/2 hours, but ohwell, when I get moving like that, if I stop, I STOP.
Get to enjoy Friday off...we were going to hit the zoo, but frankly, I'm beat so we will stay close to home. DW's cousn invited usto a BBQ anyways. Saturday we do it all over again.

That's why they've had trouble drawing crowds for the last several years. They didn't need a new park, they just needed to allow "fun."
