Okay, i promise i will post pictures from the Cirque du Soleil party soon. I had a big trade show thing the following day and then forgot to bring my camera in to download the images. And the fact that it is crazy at work.
December is going to be mental. Totally and absolutely nuts. My boss for some odd reason doesn't think so, but i see what is coming. He is so removed from sales and i am in the thick of it. And i am scared. I did have a good sit down with him after the trade show and talked to him with one of the main sculptors there about what we need going into December and the future of the company. We expressed our concerns. One of the concerns was enough delivery staff. We need people who are dependable and mature to deliver ice. We have these younger guys who are very flighty, going to college and don't have any sort of true connection to the job where it would make them want to give it their all. Plus they come from a time where they were friends with one of the guys who got fired, so a bit scary. They can easily fuck the company over and do when ever they get the opportunity. Now, both the sculptor and I get to see this and our boss always gives the benefit of the doubt, but is completely oblivious. He has his hands in too many things and don't get to see the overall image. The other thing that i said was i need another sales person. I told him that i need someone else to help me with sales since I originally was supposed to be the one helping him with sales and now the table has turned. I am now the main sales person and my boss picks up some of the sales here and there, but i am the one overwhelmed.
Now of course, and i completely agree, it is hard to find someone to do this. We don't want a stereotypical sales man/woman. I need someone who is comfortable talking with people and helps people with what they need and would work best for their event. I mean, hello, we are selling ice here, not used cars. So hopefully we can get someone in and slowly move them into a sales position. Now my boss was nice and said that I was unique and it would be hard to find someone that picked it up as quick as i did........which is sweet to say. i know that my work ethic is practically retarded and i am a quick learner and that is why i have left jobs in the past, because i got bored and didn't learn anything new. I agree, this won't be easy to find, but hell, i need help! I need help or i have to leave cause i don't want to be set up to fail. I am exhausted. So we will see.
I promise, photos are on their way.
