End of a tough first week; although it’s not the end as they’ve decided I should go in tomorrow morning to ‘experience the busiest shift we have’ so I can appreciate what goes on at the weekend. People buy petrol and associated products, what more could there be to know? Anyway I have been a good company man and agreed to go along and see what’s what. It’ll give me an opportunity to meet a couple more of the staff that will soon be mine to control. God, that’s a scary thought. My time in management has always been as a buffer between the real boss and the workforce, or as a stand-in when the real power was off; this will be my first full-time encounter with ultimate responsibility!!
Oh well - if it gets too much I can quit and go back to the supermarket!!!!!!!
That’s enough exclamation marks for one blog, I think.
After spending the morning at the garage, with the weather anticipated to be ‘warm and bright’ I shall be joining my beloved to go on a little road trip exploring the beaches of Suffolk, with a view to some weekend camping trips next Summer. Haven’t we come a long way as a couple? Now we finally have a settled location, and now I finally have a job with more sociable hours, we are daring to look ahead with something other than fear and uncertainty, and make plans! If this goes on I might even be willing to talk about a wedding. (But I wouldn’t hold your breath)
