She works hard for the money, So hard for it honey!

It's been quite a week!  I feel like I've been working all day, every day!  Since I'm officially in my store, I feel like there's so much to be done.  This isn't just a typical "new manager in the store and new ways" kind of To Do list, but a different kind.

For one, T-Mobile is having a HUGE promotion this Friday & Saturday where we're giving away FREE regular and smartphones to any existing customer with an upgrade, as well as any new activations.  This includes adding a line and porting in from a different carrier.

You can only imagine what kind of prep goes into this.  Add in a huge customer base and the only T-Mobile direct dealer in a 15 mile radius, and this spells work, work and w o r k.

Take a look at my shameless plug :) I wish T-Mobile would give me a free smartphone!! I work for them! :P

On top of this huge promotion that will have me working all day and all night Friday & Saturday, we also have the CEO visiting my store next week.

Yup, next week.

The entire leadership team will be at my store the following Thursday to see why we're so awesome.  The CEO, COO,  SVP of Marketing, CFO, BPSFL, and the LWIVELEVM will be there.  Also, one of my employees was selected to do a round table discussion with the leadership team.  I won't have to do a lot of prepping because he's been with T-Mobile 4 years and could do my job and then some in a heartbeat, but it's still stressful!

Because of this, I need to be on top of my game and the store has to look spotless from 5 miles away.

Needless to say, after this week and next, I will need a glass of wine and a full body massage.  And my dog will need some serious loving. And my husband will be ready to look for a new wife.  And I will be booking a vacation to go to some beach, sometime soon.

This of course will be AFTER I go to Maryland to meet my almost new neice!! Emily is due March 8 (ONE MONTH EXACTLY) and I plan on flying out for atleast 3 or 4 days to meet the little lamb and help out the new mommy & daddy.  With this trip I will definitely also try to make it down for Richmond for at least a day!

If you're reading this, I hope you either fly to Kansas City to activate a contract at my store, or you go to a T-Mobile store near you and stop paying so much for your dumb iphone :) Android phones do the same thing and you'll put more money back in your wallet.  Also,  please think of the Hibbard fam the next two weeks!  I hope we make it out alive!
