So I have made it. Heres how the first 2 weeks have gone.

Meet my DM and the GM from Bridgeville at the b-ville store on wed the 7th at 6am :x

i barely slept the night before cause i was so freakin excited. so we head on down. its about 3 1/2 hrs. so we get there around 10, walk in the door and the tech is standing there. DM asks how many games are tagged down. Oh, not many at all, its good. Just 4 skeeballs, dinoscore, crusin 1 and rubble bubble. my jaw hit the floor. i look at DM with total disbelief. we went 19 days straight in butler without a game down. dm goes with tech and fixes all the game problems. i explore. nice set up. perfect. nice and orderly kitchen, set up great. nice closet space. absolutely no organization or order anywhere. most rooms, although nice to have, total chaos. especially the too small merch room. so the first couple of days i kind of hang out with dm and get to know people, learn when they do produce, mclane, foland, safe code, blah blah blah.
come up with a tech plan, i have a fairly rookie ast. mgr. and a newly promoted o.c. its thursday at 1 pm, theres 4 families in the building and 6 cm. noting things in my head to fix. have to start writing stuff down, head is full.

lets skip ahead to now. its been 2 weeks. sorry, i opened today and then drove back home. ive been awake since 5 am and got 3 hrs sleep. we were second in our district in sales. labor went from 20% the week i wasnt there, 13% the first and a lovely 10.8% this past week. it ran like a finely oiled machine. ive got some great kids. some really really good ones. its been going soooooo well. i love it. and........
the best news......
being that i need another manager - DM asked Leah (worked with her in butler for over a year, were like telepathic together and just freakin awesome), he asked leah to transfer. and she said yes. ill get here in about 2 weeks. every other store in the country doesnt stand a chance now. i WILL be #1. this store was below guide (by a lot) all last year. this month, as long as this week goes well, i will be above. this month and every month after. im on day 6 of no games tagged. it is going well

sorry for lack of stories and details, im just so freakin tired and looking forward to my 2 days off here at home. i plan to sleep all day tomorrow. if you have any questions, just ask and i will answer. as for now, my brain is about ready to go on strike.

I wish I had a say in the voting for GM of the Year. YOU would be at the TOP of my list for your region.

Yeah, beating Bell is impossible... but we're able to pull it off from time to time :)

For 1 week in March every year, nearly all the Canadian stores beat Bell, and with the new stores here now, Bell might not make the top 10 for that week.

i noticed bell makes up their own specials. when i go there, they usually have fliers taped to the cash register (more like generic looking notepad documents typed by someone who knows nothing about word processing).

crazy things like "2 cotton candies, 100 tokens, 2 medium pizzas, a cake, 6 drinks, 2 chuck e shirts, and 2 LE dolls for only $59.99" (not real offer. made up example.)

but ive seen cotton candy, le dolls, shirts, all kindsa stuff thrown in there...

Sounds tuff, Missy. I know you're doing a great job.
Will definately have to drop down there once you're
settled in and visit your new store. Congrats once again.
