What a week...

I had a three day weekend to get ready for this week at work,... and I don;t think it was enough. We had our VIG (Very Important Guest) opening Tuesday Night, and it was stressful, but fun. We had a band playing, and all sort of food catered. A fun night where we each could have one guest come in and see the store, and even shop before the store officially opened. The media was there to cover the night, but then they did the inexcusable. They did a breaking news story to the public that Target has now officially opened. So much for a soft opening!!!:o( We have been so swamped at work... and I really shouldn't be complaining, but I am frustrated by the way have been handling things. We spend all day getting our re shops back out on the floor, and I am unable to do my job. I take this personal because it reflects back to me while all the bigwigs are in the store. And they create a bigger problem... they see empty spots on the floor and want them filled... and instead of getting the things that belong there through re shops (things that have been tried on/returned/ abandoned somewhere else in the store) they want to bring new product out that isn't supposed to be out on the floor yet. And most of these people are the kind of people that has never worked retail before, but have a college degree and think that they know a better way. I'm sure we all have known this type of people....So I go to work in the morning, and do it all again and do it with a smile. I keep telling myself that as long as I am doing my best, that is all I can do. Our grand Opening is Sunday,... I'll let you know how it goes! :o)!!
