Mr. P'body's Place

It is sad sometimes when I get home after work and I still don't have time to do all the things I want to do. One of which is update the webpage. It is sad when you can't even spend 10 minutes ramblin' on about something that occurred in your life, or perhaps did not occur. This week's headache? The district manager came by our store and proceeded to rip us a new one. Actually he really didn't rip the entire store, just the manager Chris. I thought some of the blame would have come down on my shoulders since I am the assistant manager of the store, but it didn't. I really don't know what to think about that.

On one hand, I don't want the district manager cutting me slack cause I am young or giving Chris more crap cause he thinks he should do more. On the other hand, I enjoy not having my head on the chopping block. Chris got a warning for having a technician in the back who had not completed all his books. This is understandable cause the district manager did tell him to get him finished up before he was working on cars.

Here is my philosophy about the partnership that Chris and I share in the workplace. He and I both do the same jobs, I tend to do more of some stuff and than he does, and he of course does more in other areas. In any case, we aid each other. We are both managers, not a store manager and assistant. The district manager feels as though that 80% of the manager burden should be on Chris' shoulders. That is not how it works and is not going to work for us.

I am tired, I need sleep, tomorrow is my off day for the week. I wonder how in the hell I am gonna keep this up while taking two grad classes...
