Good morning, everyone!!!
As you can see I survived yesterday. It wasn't easy seeing as I was buried up to my eyeballs in 527 cartons of cigarettes that was delivered to our store. But I did manage to get them all put away before I headed home last evening. Only took me my entire shift once truck came, but I did it.
I also survived three stacks almost as tall as I am (which isn't saying too much considering I'm pretty short) of organizing and putting away BIBs (bag in the boxes). One more delivery of a double order on these babies and I think we'll be almost ready for our weekend next week.
I am doing the early early early shift the next two days and putting in our final truck order for Tuesday's delivery before the festivities begin on Thursday.
The weather has perked up around here. I'm hoping it remains this way throughout next weekend. It is so much nicer when people don't have to deal with the cold and the wet during these festivals.
I've been there so much this week I've had customers asking me if I ever go home, LOL. I just laugh and tell them I have a bed in the back LOL. There's just so much to do to get ready that the boss and I have been on overdrive for the entire month. Then all the changes they've thrown our way have also made it pretty difficult to find some sort of balance on our busiest time of the year. But we've managed and we will survive next weekend because we have one kick ass crew.
That is one thing I can say about the people we work with, everyone takes their job seriously. Sure, not everyone does everything the way we do it around there, but everyone of our people have their really strong aspects that balances out one another.
Our fall charity drive is coming up. I love how everyone pulls together on this and really does amazing jobs helping us keep this afloat for the entire month. All our people are doing raffle baskets for the event this year. We have some teaming up, we have some doing their own, and the boss and I have come up with an idea for a special one just for the store. That month we are talking of doing hot lunches Monday through Friday, that seemed to go over pretty well for April's charity drive. Then of course our normal bake sale :) I will also be donating a couple of books again this time for the drive as well as some apple butter which seems to go over very well :)
So the house will smell pretty yummy for a the month of October :)
Well I guess I should really hit the shower. It was really warm yesterday when I went to bed and let's just say I really need that shower this morning.
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
