Yet again another hectic day at work. I had a phone call from my regional manager before 8am demanding to know why I wasn’t in Taunton. Taunton manager phoned the Sasha (the old administrator) telling her that she had to be in store despite being her day off. Sasha said how she already had plans to spend the day with her dying grandmother… Taunton manager simply said “Change them”. What a bitch. This is one of the reasons I don’t want to work with her.
I finally agreed that I would stay in my own store for today and go to Taunton tomorrow. This should be fun… Not.
As always, work started off slow, however come lunchtime I was chocker with work. My regional manager decided that lunchtime would be the ideal time to call every manager in the region and gather some information which should ideally be collated first thing in the morning. I had to forewarn the managers that there would be a conference call for any sales staff who do not meet their target of customers seen/sat down. Obviously when you work in a very busy national chain of telecom stores, that is not exactly an easy task!
I also ended up speaking to Dec in the Plymouth store regarding customer issues. This was a guy who I ended up flirting outrageously with a few months ago, despite him having a girlfriend who also works in the same company. We continued our flirting and when I asked him for a small work related favour, he soon responded via email “what do I get in return.” I stupidly mentioned that I would be in Plymouth for a weekend soon… Uh oh.
