Basic Shift Management

Well, today was the 2nd day of BSM. I think that it is going really good. We have gone over quite a few different subject, some of which I think will be useful in the future. Some of the stuff I know I won't be using b/c it isn't something that we do in my store. I have met some really neat people and some really bossy people. Tomorrow we are going to be split into 3 groups so that we can all visit different stores. I am really excited about this b/c our store is such a little store compared to alot of the others. Tomorrow is also Graduation. We get diplomas and everything. There will be prizes for highest team score and for one person who shows great leadership. We will see who gets the last one. Will let you know how it goes later.

Blah, blah blah

Well, I worked the close shift again. It usually isn't bad, so I don't mind doing it occasionally. I have been working alot of different shifts. Tomorrow I work 1-7.

Our crew picnic is tomorrow at Bay Beach. It is from 12-6:30 so I am working the whole thing. All managers are supposed to attend to show spirit, but there is no way that I can make it. I tried to switch shifts or at least part of my shift, but the only way to do that is if I want to work a 12 hour shift on Friday. Which I don't. At all.

I just found out that we are probably getting the McRib back soon. That should be fun, not! It is so messy with the bbq sauce. Don't get me wrong, they are sooo delicious, but that sauce is so hard to get off of stuff. We will see though because it hasn't been specified yet.

School is less then 1 month away, so we are getting ready for that. I have to decide what to do about getting the kids home if I am working. I really need to call the bus depot to see if the can ride a shuttle bus to the middle school where the neighbor girl goes. Hopefully it will all work out.

Well, ta for now.....

Favre is gone :( but work was good!

Well, it is official...Farve is no longer with the Packers. He is now a Jet. Hopefully it will be a good fit for him. It is sad to see him go, but I totally understand why he did. Who wouldn't after how he was treated. I mean, honestly, with the reception he was greeted with, why would he be 100% with sticking with the Packers when they were never 100% with him. Oh well. C'est la vie!

Work went well today. Not much stress. I think we did a really good job getting cars through. We had 58 cars, our target was 69. That was from 12-1. Times stayed down in all areas, so that was good too! I don't think that there were any issues...oh yeah, to Drive Thru drink station wasn't giving out the correct drinks. I think that we must have reset that thing like 2 times. That held us up a little, but it eventually started working right.

Until next time....

Back to the ol' grind

Well, I have had the last 2 days off and I return to work tonight. I have the 4-cl shift. I hope everything goes smooth. Mary will be there until 7, otherwise there will be no other manager. At least I have 3 closers and a late person tonight. It is Steven's 1st night by himself closing grill, so hopefully everything goes well. I think that I will make a treat for work tonight. Everybody loves it and I like showing my appreciation to them as it seem like we do so little for them otherwise.

I think that I will make my Double Delights tonight. They are super simple and a huge hit. Here is the recipe.

DOUBLE DELIGHTS
4T of butter
6C of Cocoa Pebbles (or Krispies)
1Bag of lg Marshmallows
1/2C Choco Chips
1tsp of Vanilla

Melt butter in pot.
Add marshmallow-stir occasionally until completely melted.
Take off of heat.
Add choco chips and vanilla.
Stir in Cocoa Pebbles.
Pour into cake pan. Different sized pans make different thickness in treats.
Allow to cool, cut and enjoy!

I hope you enjoy this as much as my workers seem too!

Until next post....
