Two Days, One Wall...



Basically... I have two days to enter in a roughly 8' by 8' section of product. With the exception of a handful of items, it's all WH40K related. I'm gonna make this happen. After that, we have the soday and candy stuff, plus anything in the back room that may be oeverstock that I might have missed. Overall, not much left...

After that, I get to work on tax stuff and gear up for the local convention next weekend. It's called Winter War... it's been happening for 39 years now... you should come.

For now though... no time to babble. I need to get my work face on... =P

Post Untitled...


...Mostly because I can't think of one...

Things are moving along... I continue to plug away at the POS system and it should be done by Sunday. Tonight is FNM, so it looks to be a long night. S'okay, though... I don't mind.

Have to go... many things to do...

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'...


Things keep moving on here... I'm not as far on the point-of-sale as I would like to be, but I'm not worried. I'll knock out the last difficult shelf tonight, and then I have most of the weekend to actually work on it. It should be done by Sunday night. Once it's stocked with item numbers, I'll just have to update it with inventory numbers. That's actually pretty easy.

Even with "impending doom" coming down, I'm feeling my stress level lessen. We hired someone to lessen my workload. That combined with the boy turning eighteen and taking a more independent role in his duties at the store, things are going okay. I'm transitioning from "grunt work" to a more managerial role. Trust me, I still do my share of work, but it is different type now. It feels good.

Beyond that, not much is happening. Work proceeds apace for the convention and phase two of the "remodel" should happen shortly after that...

On the Rebound...


Still feeling sickly, but not as bad as yesterday. I'm on the upswing as I have switched from 'Quil to Mucinex to get the ick out of the chest. There's still a lingering cough and some fatigue, but I'm beating this.

Today was shipment day, so I've been busy early on. Getting ready to update the "New Arrivals" section of our website after I post this. Beyond that, not much is going on. I am hoping to get to the POS system today and get more stuff entered. I do have some help tonight, so that should play into it.

Off to (slowly) do more work...

Ugh...

Woke up sick as a dog... No GopherDave sweater vest/tie uniform today. Took all my energy just to achieve "comic book guy"-look. Not sure what's kicking my backside harder, this illness or the new point-of-sale. No one else to watch the store though until later, so here I am.

If I can't get the stuff in the POS system by the end of this week, then we will be closed for a few days after Winter War, just so we can get it together prior to February 1. I've got tax stuff to do, and a good chunk of it needs to be done before the convention.

Hasta lumbago, folks. I'm gonna go be sick some more...

Sick... Yay!


I woke up this morning feeling like poopage. I am at the store on the power of DayQuil. I am seriously hoping that what I have is not one of those sicknesses that hangs on, because I have too much to do for that to happen.

Tomorrow is looking like a day when I can get a lot done in terms of entering things into the point-of-sale system. I just hope I have the energy to do so. If I can get to that and get on a roll, there's a good chance I can get the majority of what is left done. Here's hoping.

So, for today, I'm going to work on getting better. After I leave here tonight, I'm going to get the boy a birthday present and do a bit of laundry. Wish me luck because neither of those involves getting rest and rebuilding my immune system... =P
