it has been 2 months now since i became the manager(officially) of the bar i work in and just when i think nothing else will break SOMETHING else breaks!!! part of the "manager" job is being able to manage i guess,although i just thought of that.so its being able to manage on your own and also manage the other people! i think I'm pretty good at both of those,but its pretty hard,even easy management jobs can be really hard work.
my job is in general pretty easy,not only do i get to "manage" the bar but today apparently i shop for supplies in freezing cold weather, i make huge pots of soup,gigantic batches of salsa,create both bbq chicken and bbq tofu toastie fillings! i also write blurbs for websites and fix glass washing machines.when im not doing those fun filled activities i clean toilets and urinals! i also pour pints of Tennents lager,Guinness,Stella-boy the list goes on!! if I'm really lucky pints of orange cordial and lemonade,sometimes 4 in a row!!
lately ive been mastering re-setting boilers,completely re-programing tills(that's a cash register outside of America) during the 5 o clock friday rush,simple math,HD TV,food thermometers,neon lighting,laminating machines and CCTV amongst other things!
if i have any time left after all that i like to stare at brown liquid dripping out of light fixtures in ceilings,or re-count piles of money!!
i like to make sure i think of everyone elses holidays before my own and i make sure i am there to pick up the slack when they are gone.
sometimes i do really tedious things like pick blue tac off sporting event posters and signs that have been hanging up.
when i feel like Ive been slacking at work i like to go and get myself a raging hangover,i usually time this perfectly with being to work around 9 am,usually at this point i like to wonder which football,rugby,tennis or golf games are on that weekend & how much extra stock i need to order! all of this is the kind of thing that really keeps me on my toes!
tomorrow i look forward to my very first stock take and breaking the news to the stock taker that we cant get a stock report for the last 2 months due to our till breaking-people like me really thrive in situations like these.after i accomplish that task i plan on figuring out how to get at least 1 huge pots worth of soup,several bags of tortilla chips,a bucket of salsa and a huge box of frozen bread across town spending as little money as possible!
i plan on checking and updating several social networking sites for my bar,updating menus and writing more blurbs!
i would say i have a pretty jam packed week ahead of me!!
i have made it to the top!!
this is management!!!
