Day from Hell...

Have you ever gotten home after a hard days work and just thought to yourself, "wow that sucked"? Well that's where I'm at, today was not good. First, Monday I walked into a huge mess. People were talking and didn't know what the fuck they were talking about so I had to correct them and correct the original problem. I had Tuesday off and come in Today to find another complete mess. My produce team lead forgot to do the produce order, which is fucking huge! The sad thing is this is the 2nd time in a month that an order has been forgotten, I guess we didn't get it the first time. Today was so bad I needed a beer, ice cream, candy, and a blow job (I got almost all of what I needed)!

Clearly I need to be doing these things myself because I don't have a team I can count on. The problem is I am pulled all over the place during the day. I walk in and have to put out so many fires there is no time for anything else. I could work everyday 24 hours a day and still not clean up all the messes. So today I had enough. I am setting the standard, if they can't do it then they need to find another team. The food side at my store does 10 million a year, right now I feel like I am the only one working for that 10 million. I know I am not doing it all, but when shit hits the fan it all comes on me. The funny thing is when things go well it's a team effort.

This is the first time I have ever been challenged at work. And when I make it to the end I will have learned a lot. But right now I am feeling completely ineffective. But I have a plan, I am starting at the beginning and I am going to work to a place we need to be. That means getting everything started now and moving forward. If the team can't take it then they aren't right for the team.
