beansideHad a bitch of a time getting to sleep last night. It was well after 1am before I finally dozed off. It'll definitely be a coffee kind of day today. My neck and shoulder is still kind of pissed off, so it'll also be an ibuprofen day.
Had a Town Hall Meeting yesterday. It was okay. Nothing horribly exciting. More of a state of the union of the IKEA Customer Support Center. Big things are coming down the pike for the coworkers on the phone. Nothing seems to change for back office where I'm at. Which, since we're holding it down pretty well,isn't a huge problem. I'm just kind of bored with my job at the moment. I don't hate it or anything, but it's not mentally stimulating, and it's the same cases and bullshit from the transport companies every day. I can work them with my eyes closed at this point.
When I was shadowing with one of the other TLs, she wanted to know why I wanted to be a manager. I did not say "for the money" though that is part of it. But the majority is that I want to feel like I'm making a difference to our customers and our coworkers. I always felt like when I was floor support, I was making a difference. I miss that. I make a difference to the transport providers, but I'm not sure how much I'm helping the customers. I don't necessarily want to be back on the phones, but occasional contact with them wouldn't be too bad.
Next up, team meeting today-always fun. No clue what it's about. We seem to be doing them every two weeks now, so I'm not expecting it to be earth shaking.
14 days til vacation, and the anxiety has settled in, especially with two more tropical depressions in the Atlantic. No whammy, no hurricane! So far, the Thursday, when we arrive is showing mostly sunny and 78. I could take that all weekend, please.
Aside from that, not a whole lot going on. Time to go forth and get myself ready for work. But at least it's my Friday!
