I am sick of counting...


So as Director of Marketing for PM, my job responsibilities include placing advertising and on the really fun days I am asked to run a report to see how our print or direct mail is working. Now with completely trained and competent managers in each of our stores, this would be no problem. They would simply complete an "Ad Response Form" and email to me. I would in turn take their collected data and enter into my master tracking spreadsheet and all calculations would be done by excel. The problem is I cannot depend on any of our store managers to manage the coupon system within each of their stores! I took over the counting process for them a while back. I have been super swamped with assisting in store openings and busy event days (LSU National Championship, Super Bowl, and Valentine's Day) so needless to say the counting has backed up for almost 6 weeks! I am very behind and am still working at 9:35 tonight trying to get some of this shit done. It looks like a mountain of envelopes on the floor of my office. On a positive work note, I have the Chamber of Commerce Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at my new store in Denham Springs tomorrow morning and all weekend is the official Grand Opening for that store. If anyone is near the corner of Range & Magnolia Beach Rd. tomorrow between 10:00 and 11:00AM come by and have cake with us!!! I ordered from Baum's so you know it will be yummy. Ok, officially my departure goal for tonight is 10:30 so I need to stop blogging now.

I'll help you next time, and my god Baums cake might just make me be in that area at that time.

I am sorry, but I will be unable to attend. Please eat a corner piece with lots of icing for me. Seriously. No calories if you are eating it for someone else!

Stopping blogging to get work done? I am sure where your priorities are, ma'am!

Hang in there. Can you take it home and work on it while you watch TV?
