| mornings So this is the morning where the eye specialist tells me how things went. The cynic in me, and a realist part of me that remembers the last round, feels that it is not going to be good news. I still have a few weeks of retinal healing but still, things don't seem right. Will I have to start over? How long can I wait? I don't have time available from work, having used most of my vacation time to do this round. Oh well, I will know later today. Work. Well, work is weirder than ever. A full third of the staff has moved on; from part-timers to diehard senior managers, many have left The Store. It hasn't affected me so much as I am used to the periods where we never have enough staff and it was the cutting of hours that solidified the leaving for many. For some it was the direction The Store is taking, a direction many customers have commented on, and not happily. But as they expected, some of the customer base moves on and others replace it. But I don't believe the revenue is being replaced. Some people assumed that with open vacancies in management, I would be the first to choose. I have the requisite time to become management and I do perform an adequate job in the eyes of the staff. But my committment is obvious to everyone. Why invest more time and money in me when they know I would be gone at the first offered opportunity. Plus, my opinion is not appreciated -- i do have a mouth on me. But I have assumed some more responsibilities, one in particular that has been the death knell of all previous holders of it -- anyone taking the job on usually gets in trouble because it is managed badly on the head office side and there is never enough time to do it. Oh well, I am used to that sort of responsibility and they really don't want anyone else handling it. Once again, time shall tell. October 24 05 |
