Back to the Flooring Dept ...

Well, I am back in Flooring, as of this Monday. I'm exhausted !!

I'm not used to doing manual labor anymore ... (that's what i've been calling it all week.) I told one of the girls in the office I was going to have to charge all my shower gel/soap back to HD, since I shower before AND after work for the last few days. But I have to say the department hasn't been this clean for a long time !

My first order of business is to get the showroom cleaned up - so it actuall RESEMBLES a showroom. I washed all the blind pods down, and did all of the displays up to the front of the store where my wallpaper tables are. (That's tomorrow's project!) I have calls into Product Reps to double check samples/displays, etc., and make sure those are all up to date. I have someone repricing all of my carpet samples (something we had asked to be done in February), and I even managed to clean up some of the displays in the aisles.

I've been able to assign some stuff out as well, and am compiling a list of who-does-what so I can remake aisle assignments and stuff. I have some people that are transferring over from other departments and some that have tranferred to other departments. It's been an interesting few days.

We'll see what tomorrow brings, but for now .... i'm falling asleep at my keyboard ... zzzzzzzzzz ...
