... but I'm not Wonder Woman!

Yes, it's an adjustment.  After two days, I'm trying to settle in to this new schedule at work.  It shouldn't make that much difference, I am starting one hour later than before.  But it seems to make all the difference in the world to me.  In that first hour, from 6-7 before most of the other day shift people arrive is when I get reports and paperwork ready for them to start their own day.  I use that hour to clean up the messes that have been left, get things organized and ready for the day.  I do much more than most in that first hour of my morning!  I'm good, but I'm not Wonder Woman!

Shifting that by an hour means that while I'm getting reports ready, people are filing in, wanting their reports quick so they can begin their own day.  The messes that were left in my area are trampled over because I don't have the time to get them out of the way.  And near the end of my day when I'm wrapping things up, there is a team of folks who are trying to unload the nightly delivery truck.  They need a place to put things, and have decided that in front of MY work area is the right place.  Now that my hours have shifted, it will be a constant battle for premium space!  And I'm older, grouchier and bitchier --- guess who's going to win???  lmao


It's weird that I'm still there for my 8 hour shift .... and it should be the same work priorities in the order I'm doing them, but .... it all seems different.  I'm also trying to figure out when to have my lunch hour at the gym.  It will still take some maneuvering to get that figured out.  It was 12:30 before I realized that I needed to take my lunch hour!  Time flies ... when you're having fun?

Whenever a company decides on changes, why is it they have to do many changes at once?  Why can't they just do a small change, let folks get in the habit and then do another change?  It's a little difficult to make so many huge changes all at once ... I'm supposed to do my normal duties each day, but at the same time, I have to re-organize and label my work area (yet again!  we just did this last year!)  in between all the regular demands of the day.  I can't do 8 hours worth of work and 6 hours worth of rearranging in an 8 hour day.  I'm good, but I'm not Wonder Woman!

We shall see what the next couple of weeks hold ....
our new Store Manager should be starting soon!
