Taking inventory at a retailer is quite the job to complete. So much of it is preparation, and as one of the hourly supervisors, its our job to get the prep done. So the day before inventory can be a very long day.
It reminds me of the inventory I prepped for back in 2008. I was at a smaller Midwest store, and my coworkers were fantastic. We had a split shift the day before, 7-12 and back at 4pm. But driving home and back again was a lot of time. So a group of us hit the local park for a walk to change our perspective, then hit the local Skyline Chili before heading back to work. Having the support of your work sisters us awesome! And I miss working with them.
It also reminds me of my very first inventory, it was after midnight and all of us were a little punchy and acting silly. One of the managers, Robert, was helping us zone ladies lingerie. He started singing a ditty and dancing around, wearing a bra on his head. We had a good laugh! Its amazing how a little laughter can lift your spirits and keep you going!
So if you're struggling through a tough moment, remember that a little laughter can get you through!! Laughter is good for the soul!
