The madness is over

Rush is finally behind me.
August was non-stop long days, go go go as fast as you can. Monday we had a record day in sales for our store. Admitingly, when Amy and all my girls were unpacking what seemed like a million boxes and having to re-invent space in our small 1000sq ft store with just over 1 million dollars in inventory, I thought "man we're never going to sell all these books!" Most shelves were stacked to the ceiling, we used space under tables, in walk ways and any nook and cranny we could fill up. Well, most of it disappeared by Monday night. The best part was that the line never got longer than 20 or so people. We were efficient. I trained much earlier this year so all new cashiers were ringing a record rate with little or no complications. No whining or bitching by customers. That's new! Although I did get chewed out by a young woman on Thursday night, she did call back later and apologize to me. Very rare! So now I can be lazy at work again, atleast until January when we get to do it all over again.
