As Leanne will be going back to university in a few weeks, it’s fallen to me take on more of the traditional managerial tasks here at the shop (as opposed to just huddling over the website). Last week I learned to do the banking, and this week she’s training me to do the roster. I’m therefore alternating between MWA HA HA! moments of power madness, and whimpering fits of anxiety as I realize that, yes, with great power comes great responsibility. And scheduling shifts for eight people with conflicting requirements makes my heard hurt.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

One response to “I shall rule the world!”
I can empathise, I used to be shop manager of three stores out at the International Airport. 52 staff, 7 supervisors/department managers and shifts that started at 5.30am and finished at 10.30pm. It was hard work, but now when I look back on it (it was over 10 years ago) it had plenty of fun moments too. Ah, retail! How I loved/hated/love/hated you!
