Good morning all!
I didn't even manage a full glass of wine last night! But, I have a plan and an alternate plan for my kiosk so I'm good to go. I've figured out two alternatives to maintain my privacy seating in the front (and some cold protection for me!) and also make a second desk available without compromising the structure too much. Yep, I'll have to basterdize it a bit, but, it will be fully functional, as Corporate wants, as a two desk kiosk, and still give clients privacy. Either way I go, we'll be more cramped inside, but I only really will need a second person in the kiosk until about Valentines Day when things slow down from the first peak, and then maybe a few weeks towards the end of tax season. Walking away last night, and telling the floor plan dude that I'd fix it today, was the best thing I could have done. Gave me time away from the problem to clear the old brain and figure out a plan and a back up. And hopefully NEXT year, we'll be able to utilize the entire kiosk as it was designed.
It was really wierd because the floor plan dude was arguing about where we'd been last year and how much space we'd taken up and one of the assistant managers put him right in his place. The floor plan dude was also trying to tell my boss that it was foolish to take up so much space because the kiosk is hardly ever open. The boss, very non-confrontational guy, told him in no uncertain terms that he must be thinking of the FIRST year, because we posted hours and worked them and more LAST year. Everyone at Wally World is incredibly nice and happy to have us back, except for this one major jerk. I really felt like slapping him silly.
So, I have the design issue resolved in my poor weary brain, and think that I can make things work to everyones satisfaction. The phone did not ring this morning so I wasn't up before my normal 5:30, Todd's boss threw him out of the office yesterday late afternoon....told him to take one of the station vehicles and just GO HOME....that he'd been there too many hours already! I just love that both of us have such good bosses. TODAY IS GOING TO BE A GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE DAY WITHOUT A LOT OF HASSLES!!!
How's that for a positive frame of mind??
Hope everyone ELSE has a good and productive day without any hassles!
