Champion 16743 Somewhere I can be nekidd | Subject: RE: 100 Days of Ghoulie power, Part II kns57 - 2012-03-15 9:00 AM Branch Managers meeting was yesterday morning. Some of them got very vocal about staff moral, no raises or COLA in 4 years. Reduction in staff (which we all understand due to the cuts in budgets) which are leading us to staff having to work every other weekend, which really is impacting the staff moral, including the managers. All the branches feel that the libraries should close on Sundays. HQ does not think we should. They feel that this is a high volumn day. Of course it is, when the statistics were for only 4 hours a day vs 10 hours days. People rush to come in during those four hours, but if we were open more hours, they would see a drop in the numbers. HQ does not seem to get the moral issue, although they are concerned about losing the cream of the crop which is some of what is happening. We have lost 4 staff in supervisory position in the last two months alone. And no replacements even being considered at this time. The lunch after the meeting there was a lot of gripping going on. Some which I agree with, some which I just feel like saying, HTFU!!! Sorry Kendra. This just seems like another instance where the people making the decisions have no idea what actually goes on on the business side. I know my opinion means nothing, but for a library to be open for 10 hours on a Sunday is ridiculous. None of our local libraries are open on Sundays and they have limited Saturday hours. |

MotoQueen 13195 | Subject: RE: 100 Days of Ghoulie power, Part II ironannekidd - 2012-03-16 4:50 AM Ann, the library was only open for four hours on a Sunday, but they are comparing those statistics to say a Tuesday when we were open for 10 hours, so of course, Sunday is going to look busier because the number of people coming in are crammed into 4 hours. But looking at the total number of people who walk in the door, Sundays are lower in number. And I highly doubt that if we were open for longer hours that the total number would go up. Anyway, life goes on and I'm here working another Saturday. kns57 - 2012-03-15 9:00 AM Branch Managers meeting was yesterday morning.

At least it is wet and rainy out so I don't feel like I'm missing a beautiful day. |

Champion 16743 Somewhere I can be nekidd | Subject: RE: 100 Days of Ghoulie power, Part II Good morning Ghoulies! Another busy weekend. We will be mowing by next Saturday, if we don't get to it during the week. The weather has been unreal. My SIL planted sweet corn last week. It's too early. It can still get cold, and if it gets wet it will just rot. It is still WINTER! |

Champion 14677 Bronze member | Subject: RE: 100 Days of Ghoulie power, Part II Morning Ghoulies. New week. I am hoping for a good one. Ann, we mowed last week already. I am feeling like I am already behind in the yard work. However, unlike your SIL, I KNOW that we can get some frost or even snow that can cause the party to come crashing down. I am starting my indoor seeds a bit early though I have SPRING FEVER! Edited by ceilidh 2012-03-19 7:36 AM |

My workouts sure went south, but I did get my long run in yesterday. I need to get in some shorter runs during the week, though. Hope you all have a wonderful week ahead. |

MotoQueen 13195 | Subject: RE: 100 Days of Ghoulie power, Part II Good morning Ghoulies. I mowed last week. I've moved some plants around, but haven't planted anything new yet. That will be in another couple of weeks. I have started walking/running with several neighbors in the mornings. We meet at 5:45am. I will be able to do this usually 3-4 times a week, so this will help my running get in gear. Plus, we all run about the same speed - slow. We are not as slow as what posted on facebook today though. I realized after we had been standing talking in front of my neighbors house that I still had the runkeeper going. So I really don't know what time we did it in. I also did not start it until we were a quarter mile into it this morning. |

Master 3479 Utah | Subject: RE: 100 Days of Ghoulie power, Part II We're having the usual wacky March weather here. It was 70 degrees a couple days ago, then it snowed last night. About 2 inches or so on my lawn right now. Gotta love March weather, right? |

Champion 14677 Bronze member | Subject: RE: 100 Days of Ghoulie power, Part II Howdy. Nice that you have some running partners. Having some folks to be accountable to, and to share the pain/fun with would be good. I should ask you to give me a wake up call so I could actually crawl out of bed and get my training in. I think it is going to be the only way for me to go. |

MotoQueen 13195 | Subject: RE: 100 Days of Ghoulie power, Part II ceilidh - 2012-03-19 12:13 PM Yeah, one of them sent a text this morning that they hit the snooze on their alarm and would be a couple of minutes late. Of course, neither of the two of us out there had their phones since we were only going to be in the neighborhood. So we were gone by the time she came out of her house. LOL She just needs to learn to be on time so that we can all get to our jobs on time. Howdy. Nice that you have some running partners.

Champion 16743 Somewhere I can be nekidd | Subject: RE: 100 Days of Ghoulie power, Part II It looks like the guy that never responded back to my boss will in fact be joining me here next week. I was on the phone with my boss for about 20 minutes yesterday talking about it. I also got a small promotion. He likes to have a Team Leader, in case a decision needs to be made, 2 equals could argue over it, if there is a team lead they have the final decision. He offered me the Team Leader position, I accepted. He told me he wants me to make my own decisions about the new guy, but from listening to my boss he isn't happy about him coming here. He did have excuses for not getting back to my boss or HR after he was offered the position, but excuses have a zero meter maximum effective range. He starts next Monday, we shall see how it goes. |
