Here is the final figure from the till at our recent Beauport staff open bar session:
Which, when you consider there was about 30 people there, is not bad - and with the company footing the bill, I may have had one too many (about 5 in 3 hours!). It was however a well earnt reward for all of our hard work over the shut down period in trying to get to get the park ship shape. The last couple of weeks - and from now on really, have been hard going. It was nice to have that one evening, to have everyone together and to relax before we move in to the next phase: opening for the season!
Believe me, it has been hard work, everyone has been flagging rather a lot in these last couple of weeks and it is far from over! We have just under 3 weeks until the holiday season begins and the park opened TODAY, which is why I'm happy I wasn't at work :-)
Although to be fair, I was actually at work. I was atArgos. It was my penultimate Sunday - yes, that's right I handed in my letter of resignation today and have my last day working day there next week. It was weird to be back at work at first, but I soon settled in and I did get to do my favourite job that afternoon. I wonder if my last day will be as good - probably not, I'll almost certainly get a lairy customer!!
It isn't just me who is saying goodbye either. My manager Jan is also moving on - she is going to another store and she will be sorely missed by everyone at the Hastings store. So that's very sad and we are planning a goodbye meal for her next week.
It was shocking to my system slightly to be back at Argos today, so I'm rather tired now, especially since we go to longer hours at Beauport from this week and then again to even longer hours from the end of this month.
So that's all I have to report for now peeps. I'm rather glad that its Spring now, although the weather seems to not be playing along at all right now. We had one glorious day of sunshine and then it started bucketing down with rain :-(
Unfortunately we don't live in a world where heavy rain, unlike heavy snow, means you have a legitimate reason not to turn up to work!
Oh well....
