It was a couple of late nights, but I got the inventory done before the new year! *Success* I said I would, but I hadn't realized how hard counting can be; some of the merchandise is here, but some of it is over there and also in the back room. Our numbers were very off, so hopefully this helps straighten things out. Apparently one of the past store managers was "receiving" orders twice, once when she ordered them and again when they arrived. And another did everything in adjustments so there's no paperwork trail. Then there's the problem of some items having multiple numbers. >.< Hopefully I didn't make too many mistakes and it all works out. I've been looking forward to doing inventory since I was hired. Counting and organizing things? So fun. ^_^ Now I'll have to go back to making up my own projects as it's the slow season until April. However, our slow season hours have us closed weekends, so I get the same weekends off as my boyfriend and everyone else for 3 months!
Also, milestone: one of the days right before Christmas, I totally had a day of profit over $1000! Though, some of that was memberships and donations, so not actual sales.....but it still counts for me!
Sometime in the next month or so, I hear we have evaluations. The director does a bunch of paperwork and then takes us into a room and talks to each of us for an hour. Yikes! I know he's fairly happy with me, but there's also a lot to my job that I'm still learning. I don't want to disappoint anyone, especially since I wasn't hired for previous expertise. And there's so much, I'm sure some stuff has fallen through the cracks...so I'm a bit nervous. Also, starting fresh this year also means that it's all up to me now. I can't blame things on past people because all of this year's numbers and choices will be mine. So much pressure to do it right! I'm sure everything will go alright. Right?
