Lets start with work. Last week we had to close our store due to "Mold Abatement" and the installation of a new cooler. It was scheduled to last 2 weeks but they did it all in one week.
The part timers were picked for the odd shift at other stores and us full time guys got moved to stores around ours for out 40 hours. Art went to the main store, Lips (Jeff) went to Huron Church and I was sent to College. Let me tell you I was not impressed by this move at all.
College is one of the worse stores in the city. Not well run, bad customers and just all around not good.
The plus to this was the store closes at 8pm and I didn't take a till at all that week. All I did was load the cooler and try my best to get that store organized and in a little better shape. After a week at that store it is about 100 times better.
I took Sunday off because my day off for this week was Monday. Not to often do I get 2 days off in one week, let alone back to back. I got out golfing twice and to the driving range once. It was a great weekend off.
Now back to Dougall. Yesterday we had to go into the store and load everything back in that we took out. 9 hours of none stop loading. Muscles hurt that I didn't even know I had. We figured it out and it worked to about 900 cases each that we loaded between the 4 of us. Today I go in for 2:30 so that should be fun.
Now to my personal life. Things are really looking up. I've started to talk to an ex girlfriend of mine. In that department things are really looking up. We talk almost everyday and hang out quite a bit. I'm happy for the first time in a long time. This Saturday we are going to a wedding for a friend of hers, time to get dressed up and impress!!!!
I still have to go out and buy a suit before the wedding.
Well that is all for now, lets see if I can post a little more often.
Still need volunteers (Lots of them) if anyone is interested.
The final word is in and we are closing the store for 2 weeks. I guess they need to do some major work to our cooler and it will require us to close the store. Myself and the other 2 Full timers still have to work so they are moving us to other stores. Art is going to the main store on Walker and Ypres. This is not good for him because it is a VERY busy store. Jeff is moving to Huron Church. All I have to say is....Lucky bastard. Now me. I have to go to College. I go from working at a store with very good customers to slum lands. I guess on the bright side this store is an early store. 8pm Mon.-Wed. and 9pm on the weekends. This all starts April 30th. Should be interesting.
That is all
Cheers!
I have now been a member of Toastmasters for a few weeks and the time has come to "break the ice." That means I have to give my first speech. This is called the Ice Breaker and is indented to do what it says, Break the Ice. It gets you up in front of people and starts to break the fear of public speaking. The #1 speech is about yourself. You tell me how I can write a speech about myself in 4-6 minutes. This is going to be a tough one.
I'll keep you posted.
That is all for now. Just thought I'd put a little update in.
Cheers!!!

Well the week started off great, Monday was good at work and then I had the Toastmasters meeting with John. We had a blast and John ended up winning a mug (very gay looking I might add) for getting up and speaking. Tuesday was good as well. Work was a little busy but not to bad and that night John and I went back to On The Green Indoor Golf. We played Pinehurst #2 and he won the match but I won skins. We played a quarter a hole and I won 1 quarter. It came down to the 9th. Wednesday was a different story. Work started out great and then really went down hill. The Molson truck was scheduled for 10am. Didn't show up to about 11-11:30 and poor Carrie was working like crazy. She did a great job though. At about 2 a guy came in with a TON of empties and that's when it went down hill. It just did not stop after that. Carrie had to cash out her till to go home and I could not keep up. Jeff came in and I can only imagine how pissed he was at the way the store looked but I could not keep up. It took us until about 4 to catch up. Not sure how the night went but I wish I could have got more work done on the Molson truck for Jeff but I just didn't have the time. I felt so bad for them.
It's a good thing that today is my day off. A day to relax and go back at it Friday at 100%. Hopefully it will not be that bad tomorrow.
Depending on the people you work with, it can make or break your day. Today was a really good day. We all worked hard and the customers were in and out in no time at all. We never had a huge back up on the empty side and the Ice racks were never that empty. The store was clean and we even got a good head start on tomorrow mornings work. Days when I work with certain people it just turns into a complete disaster. Well done everyone!
Well lets see, 10 cents per bottle. Open for 12 hours. We bought $2400 worth of empties. Can you say insane?

bottledriveI'll let you all know what it was like.
Golfing on the 3rd of March. Gotta Love it!
This will all pay off soon enough. Already a year into the game, I'm now the front runner in the city all within the year. It took the other 3 guys that have got the job or have went to the interview at least 3 years to get to this point. Next one is mine!
LETS ROCK BABY!!!
That's all for now.
Cheers
