Maine Round 2

I spent Tuesday the 28th - Wednesday the 29th doing Operations work at the Maine mall store. I spent most of the first day tearing down the big section of the back room, and organizing it. The second day was sorting through/tossing out paperwork & binders, doing shipment, and positioning the staff for success. The team  is great, they have 3 new hires ready to go, and it was a fun second trip (better weather, too).

Mission: Maine

My district manager wants me to undertake two work missions in Maine over the next week or so:
  1. Work Friday and Saturday (11am - 9pm) and focus solely on sales in our severely-understaffed (3 employees!) store up there.
  2. Work Tuesday and Wednesday (1pm - 10pm  and 9am - 5pm, respectively) teaching the staff operations and observing their daily routines & paperwork management.
I plan on hitting Old Port Friday night after work (Gritty McDuff's!), and maybe stopping in Portsmouth on the way home Saturday night to hang out with Brian & Rob.

I'm actually more excited about this weekend's work shifts than I am about the two days off I am currently in the midst of. Weird...
