Taking care of business and working overtime

Wow.....what a crazy couple of weeks it's been.

Remember all those glorious days earlier in the year when we were able to take off and travel?

Well, those days are long gone for the moment and there's no vacation in sight.

Back to school meant losing 80% of our "A" team going to college and only able to work weekends.

And to make matters worse, our only two shift leaders who we were counting on to fill in the majority of the gaps.....took off for 2 weeks to visit family.

Then as if that wasn't bad enough......we seem to have a major epidemic of people calling in sick.

So......guess who has to cover all these shifts......yep, that's right. we do.

My poor husband is going to be working so many hours these next couple of weeks (even though he's been working his butt of these last couple of weeks).  I've even had to work......GASP!  I've been making pizzas and delivering.....and looks like I'm going to have to put even more hours in working at the store.....GASP!

In fact, remember those Tom Petty tickets I won awhile back?  Well unfortunately, there is no way in **** that Paul would be able to go and now it seems as though I am not able to go either.....boo hoo!

So, as I remember all those fun days that I had traveling with my husband.......I long for a vacation once again.  (lucky me gets to go to Santa Fe....and my poor husband has to stay behind).

But while we are working these long and crazy hours.....we can't forget that business is BOOMING and we keep setting record breaking days. 

Cross your fingers.......that we get some really good candidates applying to fill our vacant positions so that we can get a MUCH NEEDED day off!
