Please Say a Little Prayer
When you have time today, please say a litle prayer for me. Today will be my 1st day as actual MANAGER. Over the past 2 weeks I had the title Manager but I was in training and always had another manager with me....but today I am flying solo. I am so excited. I have been managers at other places but this place has always been sort of a dream of mine, even though it is a little retail store. Please keep me in your prayers that I do and say the right things, as well pray that I can remember everything that I was suppose to learn in a 4 week class, that we cramend into 2 weeks (SM had to put a rush on things since her vacation started Friday). Thanks in advance. Hugs, Susan

Oh Debbie I hope you are right! Right now I am in search of the owners of all these darn butterflys that are in my tummy! Boy oh boy I definetally have butterflys in the tummy today! I am trying to do some more school work to keep my mind occupied BUT ..... my nerves are terrible and I feel like . Going to drink me a tall glass of Sierra Mist to ease the nausea. I always get nervous over the LITTLE stuff!!!
Thanks again my sweet Lady Bug! Have a great day my friend!

Debbie, this reminds me of when I went to work right after my husband died, I was driving a bus but had to take a night job at a factory. I went to work at 4 and go off at 2. On my first day there I was so scared and nervous, after all I hadn't hunted a job in 13 years. I got there at 3;30 and they put me in a little lounge to wait for my supervisor to come get me. I waited and waited and waited. At 7 a man came by and ask me whio I was and what I was doing there. He took me to my new supervisior(it was his last night on the job and he was just playing around all night) By then I was trembling. They put me on the line between two women who were domestic partners and they were having an argument. I worked about 30 minutes and the argument got pretty heated. I started to feel dizzy and passed out. When I came to I was sitting on a stool and they were on each side of me slapping at each other and calling each other some of the most awful names. I looked up and said garbage can. Then I threw up over everything. The nurse wanted to send me home but I told her if I walked out that door then I would never come back. I finished out the night and stayed for several more months. I was known as the fat lady *****ally knew how to break up a fight.
Even tho you are nervous you will do a wonderful job and they are very lucky to have you.
Love, Miss Mary
Thank you so much for sharing Ms. Mary and for your kind words. Luckily I have worked with this group of folks for about 7 months so maybe it wont be too bad.
And thank you Debbie for the kinds words, it means allot to have encouragment form your dear friends!
Some may think that Managming is an easy breezy job but it can be rather hard. Every day is hectic but I love it! And I am so greatful to finally get the chance to be Manager in this company. I have been Manager at other places but this place is allot different. A learning process for sure!
Thanks again my sweet dear friends! I don't know what I would do with out you all!
