Ok. yeah more conquer talk...
Well, I have currently four deputy leaders...and one more pending his lvl 50... I am now starting to assign each one in charge of something. This delegating authority is an attempt that some of the questions and stress of running the guild will be spread out. now.. the main thing is to get the members to go to the right person about each thing. hmm... and i get periodic whispers from people who inquire about how to join our guild...lol. i don't think they are really interested. they are just nosy and are trying to collect information towards something else.
So... i haven't quit the game or quit my guild... i was really tempted to, but ya know... I've never really been a quitter.. sometimes i do run.. but only to get some space and quiet for a while to gather my wits and figure out what i wanna do and stuff... and when i'm ready.. i do go back to face whatever i ran from. i mean... people always say "but that's just running away! why you want to run away?" well ya know... there is no shame in being able to see that something is just too much for you to handle. I mean.. running away isn't gonna help your image much... but then again, if all you're worried about is how you look to other people then... well.... should be careful... developing that kind of behavior can be dangerous. but.... anyways.. yeah....
oh and .. a rather interesting thing has happened at my work... one of the girls from apparel quit to go work at one of the casinos downtown. well, they decided to just move me into their department. Up till now, i wasn't technically part of any one department as i was a floater. i did a little of everything. yesterday i had my sort of ... orientation, breifing on using their pc programs... which signs to use for what. how to find them... how to get into the emails... so... they still might pull me from there to ring on register or help out with baby desk sometimes... but... generally, I'll have one area of the store where i can really delve into projects. I like projects... biggrin they are really good for me as I have my OCD [obsessive compulsive disorder]. At work, I notice that i just feel so much more relaxed and mellowed out when working on a project. I just immerse myself in it, and it's great. When i'm done, i have something I can show to someone that says, "hey.. see what i did? doesn't that look great?" like, i was remerchandising the liscenced pajamas/nightgowns for the girls... and it was such an eyesore.. so i arranged it like a small color palette. I ran pinks into purples and tried to also line them up with sleeve types decending to spagetti straps. It looked a million times better afterwards. and when the dept manager looked at it when i was done; she said that's actually how company would like all racks to be. Because it makes it look more shoppable. and, I told her that I felt looking at a small rainbow was much more softer and appeasing to my eyes... and as a woman.. seeing somethign that looks pretty makes me want to look at it more.. to see what all is there. which is what merchandising is for. We want them to come into the department.. see what we have.. maybe buy some of it now... and even if they don't then.. they maybe make plans to come back and get it.. The only bad thing at work lately.. isn't even with ms queen of sheba tho she does annoy me at times. When that happens, i just take to ignoring her. She was really annoying like a sunday or two ago.. so we all just ignored her. like noone was answering her from the floor. lol.. the real thing is this new BS coming down from corporate that we can only be scheduled and get 30 hrs every paycheck if we're listed in the system as part time workers... stressed well.. i'm not working a dime over 30 hrs if i'm not gonna get paid for it... cuz that's crap. when we take vacation, the most they put in is 30 hrs... which is even dumber cuz it doesn't come out of their weekly hour pools.. we already worked for that... it was put away for us as part of our benefits plan. totally messed up.. well, this 30 hr business has reduced my checks to $99.... not good. went from an av of 120-150 down to 99. this sucks bad.... i might have to get a second job... sad
