It makes all the difference

Thanks ladies, I really value your support.

I'm a strong believer in things working out the way they're meant to, so this morning should be very interesting to say the least.

My teller called me about an hr ago to tell me she'd called in sick today. She's been fighting an infection with over the counter meds and it's just getting worse.
Since I can't man the branch alone, our district manager is coming in to work with me this morning and will try to get someone else to fill in as soon as he can. He, of course, is my managers direct superior. I am hoping to be able to talk with him while we work and get some things said that I can't with my manager around. I'll need to be very careful and tactful, but maybe, just maybe, this will be my chance to set things on a better path.

I could really use your prayers and crossed fingers today. It's going to be a rare opportunity if only I can make use of it.

I'm going to be praying all the way to work today!

Well we'll be praying right along with you Tink. I think all the advice given is good advice, plus I like the idea you're going to talk with his superior.

It's all in the attitude Tink, it really is. We have the choice of how we feel. It's just hard sometimes taking control of that.

I worked with the district manager for only a couple hours today. Her told me he knows nothing of what to do, so he was there only as a security partner. So I ran my tail off the whole time he was there and never did get to talk with him.

It was crazy busy... I had up to 5 people waiting in line to be waited on at one time, which in our little branch is highly unusual. The person who came to relieve the DM is an assistanct manager in a much larger branch and she admitted up front she didn't really know how to teller either, so tonight I'm just dragging my butt. It was a murphys law type of day where everything that could go wrong did. The woman I worked with couldn't get over the odd things we saw today.

She was very nice, but not a lot of help. She's been with the company over a year and said she still doesn't feel she really knows her job either.
OMG my feet and legs are tired!
