Is it the weekend yet?

....  I feel like all I have been doing is complain about work but it's definitely been nutty lately. Can't seem to keep up with my staffing. You would think it wouldn't be this hard in this economy. I mean I do have a few great people but it just seems like there is always one position that I am having trouble with. I can't seem to keep up, covering all sorts of shifts, staying late etc. The distribution department is struggling badly too, drivers quitting, not working out, managers having to cover routes. My situation seems to usually go hand in hand with that as well since the more routes are having issues the more customer call and complain. I am hoping for a better week next week but we will see. This all seems to go in cycles so hopefully we will hit an "up cycle" again soon.

On a more positive note we did go for a nice long walk in NYC Memorial Day weekend. Got sunburnt but other than that it was a beautiful day. Walked all along the riverfront, starting around 57th Street down to Battery Park.
Then last weekend I worked Saturday but Sunday we went to NYC again, this time to see a baseball game. Was the first time this season we went so we got to check out the new ballpark the Mets are playing in now. Had a lot fun and the Mets even won. Yay. :)   

Well, we will see what the rest of the week brings. Still behind on my letters too but trying to catch up. Also have had barely any time to read lately. Defnitely need to try and make time for at least a few chapters soon. Well, enough complaining for now. Right now I am REALLY looking forward to my trip to Austria in July. No responsibilities, just being lazy by the pool, eating all my favorite foods. :)
