Comedy of Errors

Good god, two posts in one day! Don't anyone have a heart attack.

Anyway, with the scheduled closing of the old building at work tomorrow night and the opening of the new one on saturday, let's just say that it's been a bit like a sitcom at work but totally without the laughter since it's all happening for real. Anyway in list form, here's the great "BJ'S move of '06!"

• Home office forgot to apply for our new beer and liquor license. Hope no one plans on buying any alcohol from us for the next 2 months 'cause that's how long it's gonna take to get it

• As of today, there are still no carts at the new building. We open in approximately 52 hours and there won't be any carts to put stuff in. I can just see our cashiers having to follow our members around with a large box while they do there shopping.

• We were supposed to get our damages out of the building by today. I got them all set up for UPS tags yesterday and the damages supervisor was going to go in at midnight to do them so they would be set for today. Last night she called to make sure they were done and ROBERT told her that I had left a note saying they weren't done so she didn't go in to work. Even though there was a huge pile with the tags there, he told her no so guess what? There is still damages in the building.

• Most of the departments at home office know that we are moving Sat. However, some clueless departments are still asking why we aren't getting things fixed. Um, hello? You're home office. You're supposed to know what's going on waaaaaaaaay before we do. Asshats.

• We have senior managers from other clubs helping us out for the next couple weeks and they are a couple beers short of a 6 pack themselves. I just started this new position a month ago, only got 1 half a day of training and they are asking me how to do stuff in the computer. How did you get to be a manager without doing any of this stuff?
  

• Now we currently have three clubs in the Rochester area. Victor pretty much gets the Fairport/Victor rich people area. Webster gets the Irondequoit and Webster area and our club gets the Greece, city, Henrietta, Brighton and anything south of Rochester. But when Victor opened 8 years ago, they pulled away alot of our business because for the most part people in that area are more well off financially. So anyway, home office in their brilliance decided to open ANOTHER club in our area out in Greece. We don't need anymore clubs. If for the mere fact alone that during the opening of this new one, no one knows what they are doing. Oh well, as long as I continue to get my 35 hours a week I guess I'm happy.

Okay I'm done bitching mainly because I can't remember what other stupid shit has gone on at work. But when I do remember you know I'll tell you.

Later.
