Day three of running the show: so far, so good. Ok, so I have TONS of shit to do tomorrow. And yeah, I think I am going to go in on my day off to set up shop to maximize the efficiency of co-workers (and to get my "co-manager" up to speed after a six-week absence). But woo-hoo, I am having a ball.
A customer ordered a 120 euro book online and we couldn't find it anywhere in the store. I searched for hours. And then? Then? He showed up at the store, desperate to have the book before he left on vacation (even though he technically wouldn't have received the book until the next week if we had sent it by post). I freaked, having NO idea in the MADNESS that is our stockroom, where the hell his book was.
I kept looking, and, I shit you not, I heard the angels singing as I saw the title creeping out at me from amidst a pile of random-ass books stored in a back corner. They sang hallalujah as I lifted the 100 books on top of it, and when I ran upstairs - book in hand - I could barely contain my excitement. Over an hour of searching and then man and I both went home happy campers.
That's what feels so good.
I also managed to pay all the bills, make several important calls, place a few orders, clear the database, and so on.
I am exploding myself, as they say in French.
