Not sure what to say today. Things
aren't bad here, they are just going along I guess. We have hired
three people so far that have a good chance of sticking on as full
time employees if they want, which is good because since Christmas we
have lost three people as well. I would like to continue hiring
people, but Ed is the ultimate decider on such things. I know we
have a stack of applications yet and I would like to get us to a
point where we are no longer scrambling when someone either needs a
day off or calls off sick. Right now we still have a few people who
I think we are asking too much of and while they do not complain, if
something bad should happen to them, it wouldn't be a matter of
replacing them, but replacing two or even three people, because that
is how much work they are doing.
By the same token, business has been
off the last few weeks, what with the Christmas break and all, we are
slower though that should change starting next week. Pitt already
started their classes this past Monday, which will help business at
Gus Millers, and Point Park and The Art Institute come back on
Monday, which will help Smithfield as well.
Of course each day brings me to a day
closer to a point that I am not looking forward to, Dee has
apparently gotten a buyer for her house that she put up for sale in
the fall. She is supposed to close on that sale next month and which
point the clock will definitely be ticking on how long it will be
before I am running both stores by myself unless Ed finds someone to
take her place, and right now he hasn't been in much of a hurry to do
that. I know she want to be out by June, the same month as my
birthday, so happy birthday to me, here's my present, more work.
Yay!!!
Anyway I do not want to spend my
evening complaining, like I said right now things aren't that bad.
Just typical I guess. Probably not even blog worthy, but some days
my life isn't all that blog worthy either.
