Own it.
Yeah, I think I overdid this presentation/proposal for work. I'm pretty sure my manager is just expecting a simple sitdown where we hash out future plans that may or may not be fully implemented. Instead, I have a PowerPoint presentation, notes to hand out, and a fully realized memorandum to give to her as well as my general manager. Dude, I'm making changes! Whether or not it's good, well time will tell.
Ok now onto today's prompt, since its a bit involved.
Day 25: Think about any word. Search it on Google Images. Write something inspired by the 12th image.
What the hell? Do I really have to do this? Well in order to hold myself accountable for this I guess that means I do.
And I guess that's the whole premise of my work planned for today. It is all about accountability. And that's one thing I can say in favor of my former employer, that the lines of accountability and responsibility were clearly drawn. Everyone knew exactly what they were in charge of, who to report to, and the consequences if things didn't go the right way. Though I will say it is very easy to blur those lines, which is exactly what happened in my last job, that was more on the fact that certain people weren't doing their job to begin with, I'm not going to go into that. It's water under the bridge and frankly, not my monkey.
But this current monkey, I am making it mine. The implementation of this proposal will be my circus and my monkey, at least the onset setting up the program. Once we can establish life and function it is out of my hands, and this monster will no longer have my name.
I'm mixing metaphor and I'm starting to confuse myself.
The point is I am setting us stages of accountability and responsibility within my store when it comes to visual displays. And this all originates to the fact that I'm sick and tired of people taking down displays and not replacing them, or worse leaving hardware at my desk as if I'm going to be the one to clean up everyone's shit.
But I can't say that to my bosses.
My mom told me once that if you're going to present a problem or situation to a person, you need to also present at least 2 solutions along with it because if not, you are just complaining and that helps no one. It's a wonderful lesson and I try to incorporate with everything I do, hence today's presentation.
The problem I just outlined is something that for the better part of a year has driven me CRAZY, and instead of lashing out and yelling at my coworkers (unlike some other people I will not mention, but it is never my intention to make someone cry. You'll know when it is my intention) I've created a system to hold everyone accountable, and then I can lash out at my coworkers for not following through. I'm just kidding. I'm just trying to set the store up for success so that if I ever leave (which I have no plans to), whoever replaces me only has to continue with the established and have an easy job.
Oh and the picture that was selected?
