Not because I want it to.....
It seems no matter how much I want to leave work at work on my days off....it never happens. If I am not at work I get on average 10 text messages from work about work. I need to re-evaluate who I have as my asst managers.
My Ops Manager--my second in command is my worst. She is finally stepping down this week. I would have much rather her have stepped up to her position but she just couldn't. She honestly felt like she was doing her best and I was to demanding. She hadn't even scratched the surface of all of her duties. And the ones she has she did not do to the fullest. You can not half ass your way through being an Ops Manager
My CEM of Events is more my right hand. She has not wanted to step up to the Ops Manager position but with a little push is now going to go for it. I so hope she will take it on like a trooper. I always feel better when she is on duty. She isn't a slacker like my current Ops. She has the same fire I do about the store.
My Night and Weekend CEM is another great addition. She is contently wanting more and more to do. And even better she actually takes pride in doing a good job...She will make an excellent addition to my full time staff. More time to get more accomplished :)
So who to round out my staff...I need someone that meshes with my current CEMs and I can trust. I have a couple of people in mind. I would love to promote Mickey-she is young but has the right desire and the means to manage others--but I need her in my frame shop. Then there is Sarah--she has the desire but not the tack to guide others. Finally Lacey--she is my best cashier. My CEMs seem to think she will be perfect but I am not sure yet. I will have to do a full interview to be sure. I do not want to rush in. At the same time I want a full staff as soon as possible. We have inventory in a couple of weeks.
See once again I have gone on and on about work...It just seems to always be on my mind. Maybe once I have the right staff in place and my inventory is over I can relax....take a few days off.
for tonight a hot shower and a few hours of family tv time....
