One more day....

So yesterday made me even more excited about my vacation that starts tomorrow afternoon at 4:30!!!!!
Yesterday I started my day at 4am with outrageous hiccups...none stop hiccups for over half an hour when I should have been sleeping. Sooooo I got up and prepared for my day once I realized they were not going to stop.

1st stop of my day Salisbury to rewalk their store AGAIN for audit issues. That store makes me so sad sometimes...so much potential wasted on stupid petty crap. Staff that wants to do better squashed by those that suck ass.

Next to my store...so much I need to do to prepare for my week off. Nope no sooner I get there I received an email to go to the Rehoboth and Dover to re-audit them. I get my staff updated on what is going on and off I go...

So just for retrospect I live 15-20 min from the Salisbury store, an hour from my store, 45-50 min from the Rehoboth store and about an hour from the Dover store. The Salisbury store is 30 min from my store, Rehoboth is an hour from my store and Dover is 2 hours....so I spent a shit-ton of my day driving. That I could have avoided if my boss had called/text me what she wanted. I could have rerouted a better agenda. Oh well.....

Rehoboth's manager met me at her store to walk the audit together. Not bad better than it had been. Still pisses me off they are not passing with high marks yet. But it is a higher volume store with lots of drama. I really think that there needs to be a change of management in that store. Maybe switch the SM with the SM in Salisbury....not sure the SM in Salisbury would like that but I know the SM in Rehoboth would.....she is getting burnt out. She inherited the store in the condition it is in and is slowly making progress---oh did I mention the current SM in Salisbury use to be the Asst Manager in Rehoboth and left it like that. Anywho I digress---so we make a plan and off I go to Dover :)

Dover wasn't nearly as bad. It was the first time I had actually walked with the SM himself. Last time I walked with the OPs Manager--she is awesome though. Almost all of the issues from the last visit were corrected a few new things popped up. All fixable with in a short amount time with a little effort. I ended up spending several hours with them. I figured at this point I was not going to drive the 2+ hours back to my store when I could be useful there and then only drive an hour home :)

Then at 2p my boss sent out an email that we would have a conference call at 3p....yep so glad I had decided to stay....I hate taking conf calls from the car! Guess what the call was about--an hour long call about audits. Yeah me! She went over all the result I had been sending her, the results she had been finding and what the Company Auditor had found at our Laurel store. My stores are doing hella better than what she was finding. At this point I think the SM in Laurel needs to be removed from that store.

Back story on the Laurel store---last month he was visited my our ZVP the store was a mess and he threw our DM under the bus. So the district sent all kinds of staff to assist him out---he used almost 2k extra hours last month to get the store where it needed to be. And then the Company Auditor went in on Tuesday and he scored a 33.9 OMG WTF! That gave a black eye to the whole district. It is unfucking real. My store has been cutting hours for the last month to assist in the over spent hours in that store for what NOTHING.

Ok enough venting for now----because lets be honest that is what I was doing lol. I feel a better
