Day Off
No new shifts added to Kronos as @ 15th , 19th, 21st, 23rd , 24th , 27th & 29th November 2020.
Today I managed to venture out as I needed change for the laundry, my Opal card needed recharging, I need to post my letter of enquiry to Centrelink and I needed to do some grocery shopping as well as find some Christmas gifts.
I only managed to venture to Chatswood. I had planned to go for a skate at Macquarie Ice Rink befire going shopping there but waited forever for a 144 bus to arrive therefore missing the session.
It was still really hot in Sydney but nowhere as hot as the weekend. Forecast for tomorrow is another extreme heat wave. Yiks - I had enough trouble surviving Sunday!
With 2 very full bags of groceries and gifts I headed home around 3 pm on the 144 bus.
I unpack most of my groceries and write another letter and pack the gift of a pen & writing paper I chose to be posted off to the lady living alone in the retirement village tomorrow.
Next is laundry wash and dry. I load the first machine up with my blacks but when I load tge second machine someone had left a pair of socks in there so I just took them out however they also loaded washing powder into every detergent compartment and clogged it up so I had to find whatever I could in the kitchen/laundry area to clean them all out before putting in my powder stain remover, liquid laundry detergent and disinfectant rinse.
Cleaned out and wash dry of second load continued. Finished and to bed. So tired.
Tuesday 1st December 2020
Myer 8 am - 5.30 pm new shift added to Kronos 22nd November 2020. Checked Kronos again 27th & 29th November 20.
Checked Kronos again 23rd November 2020 change of shift finishing time now 8 am - 4 pm only.
Wait a minute - my start and finish times on Kronos have all been changed today - just checked it yet again today during my lunch break from 1 pm. Yep almost all my shifts starting & finishing times have changed except for maybe one shift.
Proxy voting form returned via email before 3rd December 20 deadline prior to 5th December 20 AGM after quick glance over financial reports.
Quick breakfast ham & cheese croissant. Time to go and head to the staff exit/entrance to wait for the doors to open at 7.55 am for 5 minutes only. I am there before this time and wait.
I texted team member "Ticket Girl" to see if she was on today and she started at 9 am and sure enough I maybe "Stock Girl" today but she is "Ticket Girl" again! I wondered what tickets had to be printed out today? Black Friday & Cyber Monday are over! Expired sale signs should have been taken down not more to be put up! I already had one customer telling me today tgat Myer is always on sale. I don't think any other store has as many sales as Myer does!
I had a customer who had a laugh with me today. She told me how she had been through brain cancer and it's now been 2-3 years since she was diagnosed. She is looking fantastic and you would never had know what she had gone through. She did complain that she did gain a lot of weight from all the treatment but I said she looked fine the way she was. She is greatful to be alive and showed me some very beauriful photos of her daughter's wedfing day the one she almost missed, herself before treatment and her pride & joy grandchild. Anyway the conversation began with me complaining about those pesky customers who keep taking all the sample glasses off the shelves and moving them to different glass displays so no one can work out which glass goes with which box on which shelf. I was cleaning up and restocking the shelves with glassware and as soon as I turned my back to speak to her a guy has already tried to "dump" some glassware on other shelves. She says to me I call that MC&S. I said "what? " I've never heard that one before. It stands for "Muck ( or was that Make), Crap AND Shit" but you have to include an "AND" in it. I think I get what she was trying to say but it can be interpreted in different ways. I said that's better then the term "BOGOF" - which she got when she wanted to know how much a mirror placemat was - it was a BOGOF that came up when scanned so she bought 2 of them. We also had a discussion of how BOGOF sounds very much like F*** OFF but that's another retail signage story she told me about.
Why can't the customer service manager be normal and send me a text message rather then phone me when I'm with a customer processing her sale - how rude. Now I have to call her back! She only rang as she was fixing up the roster ( see below Saturday amendment to shift).
There was the return of a shop lifter in store today that one of the team members remembered from previous Christmas but I suspect she may be working with someone else. But I could be wrong as we had a lot of weird customers we served today. Anyway I had a very weird customer today who wanted my full attention. I thought she may have been trying to distract me wgilst the thief was trying to shop lift as they were both shopping in the store at the same time. I kept my eye out whilst still serving this customer who wanted to purchase some very odd items an expensive large round wooden serving tray, a 3 L glass juice jar and a few white sauce dishes she has put in her bag but took out and which I said to her " I'm surprised you remembered they were in your bag". She also wanted some other things from the Christmas department so I said " Let me take your purchases over to the counter" before handing her over to another team member to help her. Prior to this I notified both "Ticket girl" and the other team member who knew about the other customer who was a known thief in the store of how I suspected this customer may be trying to be a distraction and may be working with another shop lifter. I even asked her in a subtle way "I'm curious what people buy at Myer , so what else did you buy at Myer ?" ( ie show me what's in your Myer bag. Her response was " oh I didn't buy anything, I just returned a dress" which she did not show me which I thought was a little suspicious. She turned out to be a VERY annoying customer and spent ages looking for somthing according to 2 members I had advised to keep an eye on her. Suspicious or just weird?.
Finished around 4.15 pm again. Went for a quick shop for gifts and water then home on the next 280 to Chatswood. Stopped off at Woolworths for some buffalo wings then onto the next 200 bus home. Well so I thought.
At Chatswood two Asian bus drivers one driving the 200 bus I was on and the other having a break from his 144 stationary "not in service" bus stopped to have a chat in what might have been in Korean before the 200 bus driver drove and turned onto Pacific Highway. By late afternoon the weather had changed to overcast and cooled down a little indicating rain or a thunderstorm may be approaching. So just 1 or 2 stops ( not even the first limited 200 bus stop) , the driver stops at this bus stop and tells us to all get off his bus claiming he is having gear problems and cannot continue the trip. Rather suspect I believe , especially when he had just had a conversation in an Asian langage with his bus driver buddy. I could not understand any of the conversation as it was definitely not in Cantonese or Mandarin. He also told us that we did not have to tap on again and to get on the 144 bus behind him which was indeed behind him and had stopped at the bus stop however the bus deiver did not open his doors to let any of us on he just drove off and did not indicate he was a "not in service" bus. So I counted 6 of us were stranded at a bus stop that a 200 bus does not even stop at and had to wait for the next 144 bus to arrive. We had no choice unless we wanted to walk all the way back to Chatswood ( about 1 - 2 km away ) or to the next limited 200 bus stop ( about 1 - 2 km away) . All buses that were heading along the Pacific Highway towards the city were either turning right at the traffic lights a few blocks away or charter buses so I rang transport NSW to lodge a complaint. Whilst on the phone the matter was being investigated and by now it had been at least 15 minutes without a single 144 bus passing and it's peak hour. I said that it was extremely noisy on the highway and that traffic was heavy traffic towards Chatswood but not away from Chatswood. A GPS tracker was placed on the next 144 bus which said it was 1 minute away. I could not see any buses 1 minute away all buses that did appear on the highway were not 144 buses and were all turning right. There was also one passenger beginning to pace up and down and looking for a bus to approach in the distance. Finally a 144 arrived by it took a very long time for it to arrive and it had already just started to spit rain in heavy slow drops. The 200 bus was spotted stopped on the side of the highway as the 144 I got on with the other stranded passengers continued along the highway. The driver of this 144 bus told us we had to tap on to continue our trip. I did not at first but did after the other stranded passengers did. It did not say transfer on the screen so I've probably been charged the maximum amount all the way to Manly for the trip. When the next 200 limited/144 bus stop was reached and passengers alighted the bus. A passenger was asked if they were one of the passengers that was stranded from the 200 bus by this bus driver and suggested that they tell the passengers waiting at this bus stop that if they are waiting for the 200 bus that it is not coming and to wait for the next one. The driver asked me how often the 200 bus comes - every 15 minutes - my response every 30 minutes, 20 minutes if you are lucky - it's a long way from Chatswood to Bondi. The driver asks so how do they get between Chatswood and Bondi if there is no 200 bus? They catch the 340 ( old M40) bus from Chatswood however if you need to get to Edgecliff, you are stuck and need to take the train into the city and change.
Finally home and the heavy rain drops started to get heavier and more frequent. Within minutes of getting home, it poured with rain and there were thunder storms which short and sweet lasting upto an hour I estimate. All over.
Dinner and sleep. Can't be bothered to pack lunch for tomorrow.
Wednesday 2nd December 2020
Myer 11 am - 5 pm new shift added to Kronos 22nd November 2020
Checked Kronos again 23rd November 2020 total shift change to 8 am - 4 pm today
Checked Kronos again 27th , 29th November & 1st December 20. No changes to shift.
Arrived today and arrived before the 7.55 am staff entrance exit 5 min opening time. I never know what I'm suppose to be doing when I arrive after punching in and puttng my stuff in a staff locker. Lost interest. Today I knew I had to continue restocking glassware from the cages on the dock area but there were so many cages of the same Krosno glasses so a lot of it had to be taken down to the reserve. Restock if I see stuff that needs restocking, tidy up shelves if they need tidying up and serve customers if they need assistance or waiting in a queue as well as help the online team members locate stock.
2 team members decided to build what the customer service manager described to me as "the great wall of Krosno glassware" in the dock area on both sides of a set of floor to ceiling shelves. Whilst they were doing tha t they told me to restock the other cages of stock and leave them to the glassware. Everyone was so glad to see the 6 cages of glassware off the dock floor. Although there was plenty of room in the reserve the team members did not think that there would be enough room for it all.
I didn't serve many customers today but the ones I served I spent quality time assisting them. I don't want to get a 0/10 customer feedback score - yes apparently a team member did for texting behind a counter when there were customers waiting to be served. What I wanted to know is how could she get a 0/10 score if she did not actually serve the customer. Very strange sounds like customers are either making things up on feedback forms like they did to me once or managers are making up stories
One customer was trying to sell her house so needed assistance with matching a throw with cushions. I spent quite a bit of time with her but joked that potential buys would probably buy the cushions she had selected rather then the house as she did such a good job of it after I initiated the selection of the throw I went down to the reserve to find for her and the second cushion we both agreed would look fantastic together with the off white tuffed thrown. In the end she purchased 4 cushions and the throw but left her keys on one of the display beds which had been handed in but no one knew where they were put. So I texted a team member who I knew would be with the other team member to find out and sure enough they were handed into The Hub downstairs so I escorted the customer downstairs to The Hub and showed her the way out of the store. She did mention that she would give me an 11/10 for customer feed back if she could but I don't believe the customer would bother filling out a survey as not many customer actually do as it takes time to fill them out and being so close to Christmas everyone is so much more time poor.
I am always finishing 15 minutes to 20 minutes late. I returned the cage full of empty boxes styrofoam and plastic to the dock for recycling.
Checked Kronos again not just on 1st December but 2nd December as well. Every one of my shifts at Myer previously recorded in my diary has been changed yet again. I spend more time checking Kronos then I do working at Myer! I swear one day I will end up not showing up to work or showing up when my shift has been cancelled or changed. Not Happy.
Dinner and sleep. So tired. I packed my lunch for tomorrow but ate it for breakfast.
Thursday 3rd December 2020
Day off. Not anymore
Myer 1 pm - 9 pm new shift added to Kronos 23rd November 2020.
Checked Kronos again 27th & 29th November 20
Checked Kronos yet again 1st December 20 and this is when almost all my shifts change yet again!
Shift changed today to 2.30 pm - 9 pm instead of 1 pm - 9 pm
The day was filled with weird and wonderful customers. Not much to say today except the customer service manager was not around and the team leader left a team member and I alone most of the time.
I had one very pesky customer who was a real menace who held up the queue of customers behind her and kept taking off with and swaping the glass domes from the display leaving their bases but most of the day was having a bit of fun with most of the customers. A few technical issues and angry customers but nothing out of the ordinary. I did not attempt to do any orders - well maybe one but the customer decided in the end it was not worth doing a click and collect or order for 1 mug. No guarantees it will arrive in one piece either as I had 2 damaged in transit online orders returned today - a Christmas tree and a Christmas glass bird ornament.
What a long day I just missed 2 Manly buses so it is another 14 minutes until the next one arrives. I then have to wait for the next 144 bus which does not come very frequently home. I'm not waiting for the next B line in case I fall asleep and miss my transfer point.
The team member and I were not "ticket girl" and "stock girl" tonight - no we were just on service all night - to the end and even had out break together at 4 pm. We had no choice actually. There actually was no time for any of those activities tonight!
This is how well know I am now as "stock girl" at Myer, a team member from another department came up to me tonight surprised and says " Oh you're not doing stock tonight!" I replied " No I'm on service all night". She adds " I'm so used to seeing you doing stock and always doing stock"
Both of us have tomorrow off. Yay we can both sleep in for 1 day. Back on Saturday unfortunately. Another team member even said that she was going to make herself a good meal on her day off which I added " Me too!"
Friday 4th December 2020
Day off
Checked Kronos again 27th & 29th November 20
Checked Kronos 1st & 2nd December 20 no change.
So tired I slept in today until 8 am but did not do much except eat and pay bills.
It is really hot again so it would be a great time to go to the beach but I just could not leave the apartment.
2 pm and I'm finally venturing out after having a shower washing the dishes up and taking out the rubbish. Lunch for tomorrow is already packed.
I may not have to leave home at 6am tomorrow but I do have to leave at 7.15 am in order to have enough time to get to work. A team member and I still don't know why we start at odd times eg I start at 9.15 am not 9 am or 9.30 am and she started at 2.15 pm on Thursday not 2 pm or 2.30 pm when I started.
Went to the post office today to post my final gift off to the USA for Christmas and wrote on the back of the parcel "I hope you get this in time for Christmas!". I lined up and when the postal officer saw it she yells out they won't get it in time for Christmas as Christmas mail closed 2 weeks ago - what how can it take 5 weeks to reach the US? I could have sent it seamail - even that takes less time on ocassions! Sent anyway. Just as well I only had 1 small Christmas item in the package sent!
I ended up going for an hour skate at Macquarie Ice Skating Rink from 3.45 pm - 5 pm ie the last hour of what is suppose to be the afternoon 2 hour cheap skate public session from 3 pm - 5 pm. It was advertised on their website that it was $19 for the 2 hour session however when I arrived and told them at reception that i had my own skates, had my temperature checked and registered my cintact details, they told me it was $22 for the session so it was the same as the first 2 hr morning session. Not happy they said it was $14 for the last hour of the 3 - 5 pm session ie discount hour so I decided to come back at 3.45 pm and skate until 5 pm.
After my skate it was a bit of grocery shopping before back to Chatswood on the Metro and a quick shop again before heading home to finish a few things off.
Today I purchased 3 new & existing grocery products to try and I will rate them for you.
Product # 1 Christmas Edition Cadbury Dairy Milk 170 g Gingerbread Biscuit Chocolate bar
From the very first bite I rated it a 9/10. If you love gingerbread you will absolutely love this chocolate block. I love mixed spice and gingerbread although I prefer dark chocolate rather then milk or white chocolate. This is a milk chocolate block therefore I could not give it a 10/10 because I found the chocolate a little too sweet. Cute wrapper and there is something very addictive about it. Thumbs up for this Cadbury limited edition flavour.
Product # 2 Always Fresh Oven Baaked Not Fried Gluten Free ( & Lactose Free apparently) 100% Cheese Crisps Nothing But Premium Italian Cheese 24 g Made In Italy.
From the very first bite not to my liking. The type of cheese used is a little too pungent to eat on its own as a savoury snack. Definitely an adult snack probably better with an alcoholic berverage and charcuterie & cheese board. Not my favourite dehydrated or freeze dried cheese snack and far too dry. If you are into stinky cheeses this snack as an alternative to extreme or nacho cheese corn chips, cheese crackers, cheddar pop corn or cheese twisties, cheetos, puffs etc. ypu might enjoy these but I'll stick to the Tasmanian made equivalent brand Amaze Balls ( refer previous blog on Good Food & Wine Show ) . An alternative brand which I have yet to find and try is Moon Cheese also a dehydrated or freeze dried cheese snack in a packet. All 3 brands are not a cheap snack ranging from $3 for a tiny 24 g pack. Rating 4/10
Product # 3 Beetroot Waffer Crackers 100 g box. Vibrant & earthy with a hint of sweetness.
It says it's made mostly of Australian ingredients and at $2 a packet they are not bad for a supermarket brand cracker. Rating 8/10. Yes you can taste the beetroot and it is nice with goats cheese basil and cherry tomatos but not so nice with the supermarket brand chive and onion cream cheese ( which I do not recommend as it has a bitter aftertaste and ruins the nice beetroot cracker). Crackers not available at all Woolworths supermarkets.
Saturday 5th December 2020
Myer 9 am - 6 pm new shift added to Kronos 22nd November 2020
Checked Kronos again 23rd November 2020 no changes to shift today.
Checked Kronos again 27th & 29th November 2020
Checked Kronos 1st & 2nd December in Kronos shift changed to 9.15 am - 5 pm ( gee thanks customer service manager I asked last week if I could leave at 5 pm last Saturday so I can make the last 280 bus back to Chatswood not this Saturday and you said it depends on who else is on until 7 pm close and I never heard back until Tuesday 1st December 20 - too late not much use to me this Saturday - actually it is but I'm not telling her that!). When I asked her if I could leave at 5 pm instead of 7 pm last Saturday she says to me I'm sure there are other people heading that way that could give you a ride or drop you off closer to where you live - how about so and so - er hello he doesn't drive and lives nowhere where I live or the assistant store manager she lives near you live ( er no she doesn't!) " Absolutely no way!" I exclaimed.
It was another very busy day today yet again there were not enough staff on at the right times. One team member asked for 2 days off at the last minute and her replacement "called in sick" today so in the morning it was just team members " ticket girl" & " stock girl" yet again well at least until noon when we were both told to take a lunch break as soon as we finish with our customers. Team members were borrowed from any department who could spare them from cosmetics downstairs to "Neb" ( not his real name) from menswear to electricals. Reinforcements of Christmas casuals were due to start their shift later today but not until 1.30 pm after our lunch break not before we took it. I texted team member " ticket girl" to see where she was as I went to the staff lunch room and only ate half my lunch as i wasn't hungry as it was too early for lunch and she wasn't there. She had escaped to Target to buy a new work top. I had my lunch a little later then her because I was intercepted by a customer on the floor and even when I was hiding in the toliet!
I managed to catch up with that team member who was on her way back to Myer from Target when I texted her. I escaped out of Myer to where the fountain outside on the ground floor and she saw me and we just sat there and talked. We both did not want to go back but we knew we had to.
If only we had our camera out whilst we were sitting around the fountain it would have made a great TikTok video. This will make someone giggle. If you have a naughty adventurous or curious toddler you will be able to relate to what we witnessed. A little boy was playing around the fountain and was standing and walking around the bench that goes around the fountain when all of a sudden he either lost his balance, slipped, or was reaching too far into the fountain and fell into it. Maybe he just wanted to go for a swim in it or play in it. There was a rather large puddle of water he had left on the bench from a rather big splash he made. People sitting nearby saw it but tried to keep a straight face but I just lost it and laughed whereas the team member I was with didn't although she thought it was really funny. I said to her that's the type of thing my little brother did at that age and I could see her little brother at that age doing that as well. No harm done to the little toddler except he was soaking wet when his dad and mum came to the rescue to comfort him as he was crying. At least he will be nice and cool for the rest if the day! His little feet were soaking so his parents took his shoes and socks off.
When we finally returned to Myer we were spotted together by the assistant store manager who says to us both of you went on break at the same time and came back on break at the same time. That's not very well organised and my response to her was that no it wasn't very organised but we were both told to go on break as soon as we finished with our customers so we did. ( we didn't want to go on break as mentioned previously it was too early and the reinforcements had not started their shifts yet so we just did what we were told to do). So she was told to stay at the counter and look after the staff there and I was told to do stock ( yes again!)
So glad when the day was over. Did I mention the CEO is paying the stores a visit - finally he's coming up from Melbourne. Surprised to see he still has a job. I wonder if i'm rostered on to work that day? Big deal I see him every year at the Myer AGM except for this year.
Sorry my blog crashed yet again and I lost a very long paragraph so have to start all over again.
I started at 9.15 am today but arrived early. I was on the B line bus with the team member from Kidswear and because we were early I went with her to Target as she was shopping for toys on sale. After asking Target to hold a whole lots of boxed toys for her we made our way to the staff entrance. I put my stuff into a staff locker but did not punch in as it was still too early for me to do so so I spent my time in the staff lunch rom where I put my lunch in the refrigerator hoping i would not forget about it at the end of today ( I am not working tomorrow so better not forget about it!).
I don't dare do a customer order and I didn't ask customers for rounding of purchases as donations to whatever charity it is this month. Today it's back to the buy 2 get % ofc your purchase and get a free gps tracking Christmas stocking ( there are truck loads of them leftover from last year) with any purchase of Christmas trim toys or kidswear. When I offered this to one customer last Thursday she went beserk and asked when this offer started as she just purchased a whole lot of Christmas trim the night before and did not receive one. I responded with I am unsure as I just started at 2.30 pm that day and the offer just started that morning I believe (and it is until stock runs out).
A customer from last week that purchased the 4 cushions and tuffed thrown returned this time with her husband and daughter and they purchased a Christmas tree they purchased a whole lot of ornaments but i had to i form them that the tree came with ornaments however they can add a few more. The gold ornaments didn't really go with tree however the cut plastic birds and snow flakes they chose off the trees did. She also wanted a single bed grey fitted sheet to ho with the day bed with the throw and cushions but were were out of stock of the grey coloured linen sheets she wanted - she was ok with leaving empty handed without one this shopping trip as she will return when she has more time. She then admitted that she had not completed the customer feedback survey. OK by me as I have given up on them as there is little to no chance of reaching the 2000 points to get another $20 reward voucher before Christmas anyway. I can see why so many customers who don't have a Myer One card won't sign up for one. There just isn't the value a Woolworths Rewards or Flybuys card has.
One final story - usually 15 minutes before the store opens in this case this morning it was 8.45 am for a 9 am open, there is usually a staff huddle downstairs on the ground floor near the esculators. When you arrive you hear an announcement over the PA system "It's time for a staff huddle" and this morning I heard it although I did not need to attend it as I don't start until 9.15 am. I asked a random team member " Is that the customer service manager? She doesn't usually do a staff huddle" Their response was "Yes it is, it's her first time." So I responded " No wonder I wasn't invited!" I heard a rumour that the customer service manager wants to be an assistant store manager however the prerequisite to becoming an assistant store manager is to have worked in every department of a store. She may have a bit more work to do before she is an assistant manager but maybe being in charge of a "staff huddle " is one step closer - who knows?!
I was late punching out again at the end of the day as I had to put the unfinished cage back and get rid of the rubbish. I can never do stock properly as i keep getting interrupted by customers wanting my help.
Took the lift down from staff lockers ( yes I remembered to take my lunch out of the refrigerator) and exited via ground floor cosmetics entrance. I had a toilet stop to wash my hands before making it in time and boarding the 5.30 pm 280 bus back to Chatswood. The Chatswood Mall Markets were on so I stopped to get a $5 Japanese curry with fried chicken and rice. It is not as nice as it used to be. There is no shredded cabbage with it anymore and the portion size has shrunk a bit. The guy that served me didn't have very good English and he was on his own maning the stall. I used to enjoy a $5 Japanese curry with chicken and rice. I was going to get the equivalent from Woolworths for $10 but decided to be a cheapskate and get the $5 one which has been around for years and not gone up in price as I was too tired to cook.
Home after scoffing the curry down. No dramas with the bus tonight.
TV and sleep early as I need to get up early tomorrow morning.
Sunday 6th December 2020
Day off
No new shifts added to Kronos as @ 22nd November 2020. No new shifts added as @ 23rd November 2020.
Checked Kronos again 27th November 2020 new shifts added.
Checked Kronos again 1st & 2nd December 20.
Far too tired today. I was up at 4.30 am for the overseas AGM via Zoom which may have been on Saturday at 10 am their time but was 5 am Sunday my time. Luckily it fell on a Sunday my only regular weekly day off otherwise it may not have been able to attend it given my constantly changing work schedule.
I had my ear phones on muted the device and turned off the video so no one could see me as I was still in bed half awake. The meeting was really intetesting probably because this was the first AGM for this organisation I have attended. Being overseas in November/December annually I am never able to attend this AGM in person. One year I did try to dial in whilst I was away interstate in Melbourne but there was no visual and the audio was so bad it was only one way & the only way I could ask questions was to type them in and I could not hear the answers to my questions but only hear the rather unprofessionally run AGM therefore never tried since asnd I don't believe it was ever done again online afterwards until now via Zoom which allowed them to hold a proper virtual AGM for the first time - thank you COVID for bringing us the technology! There were many questions asked by owners and they were all answered after a rather rough start with technology where owners were having trouble with audio or visuals. The AGM was short of a quorum but it was eventually reached. Hey if I can "Zoom" in from Sydney everyone else from around Canada & the USA should be able to. There was nothing wrong with my audio/visual! I could hear and see everything and everyone although i did not tile all those present on the screen. It just kept the audio visual of whoever was speaking in the corner of my screen and also placed a tisdue over my phone at one stage just in case the camera could see me. Most of the questions i had were asked by others present at the meeting and answered. The president was resigning due to health reasons ( most of the owners and board members are 60 + ie retired and living a life of leisure! Am I still one of the youngest owners and longest owners?) At one stage they asked for owners to come forward and be nominated to join the board as members - I have considered it but did not come forward due to a few reasons 1. international time zone differences 2. I am unsure if I am allowed to as a non resident/citizen 3. current work/life schedule. I have not ruled it out maybe in the future considering it though if positions become vacated.
The AGM finally terminated after 6.30 am by now it is daylight and a great day outside but I go back to sleep and wake up around 9 am.
So much life admin to do today - no time to venture out.
Preparing for another very long 8 hour day at work tomorrow. I am so sick of being the "stock girl"
End of another week.
