Today the District Manager is coming to see our store. We're working on inventory this week and weekend. My boss is very stressed out – she cried and I gave her a hug today – so I'm almost glad she won't be there. I can handle it.
He's supposed to be pretty cool anyway. I did my phone interview with him and he was very funny in a unique way. Like he would do rude things but he could get away with it. He'd ask me a question and cut me off halfway through it, but cut me off by saying “That's awesome, you've already said all the right answers.”
You know? I thought it was funny. In my brief e-mail correspondences with him he was the same way. Communicative and friendly and businesslike.
I think tomorrow will be fun. Still, I have to make sure my outfit is on point, and my hair and makeup, and that I have a gameplan for the entire time he'll be there. I'm working with a keyholder and a sales associate, so I'm going to put the sales associate on the sales floor and put the keyholder on tasking, and supervise them in between interactions with my DM.
I need to come up with things to keep the sales associate busy in between customers on what will definitely be a low traffic day. I think I'll have my keyholder organize bag tags while the sales associate puts them on the correct items. I'll work on data entry and tag printing when I have time.
I'm going to put the DM on drawers (:
