Day One Hundred and Eighty Five: Manager

I am a good manager.

Or at least I like to think so. I got a call this morning, on my day off, telling me that two of our freezers were broken and could I please come look at it later. I also had to do an interview and take care of a whole bunch of other junk for the shop, all on my day off, without clocking in.

For ten cents more than a Walmart worker.

But I keep everything running as best I can. All while managing a store and a disease and a family. It’s like I have a job or something. I realize that being a manger is about more than just hiring and firing people. Everything that happens in the shop starts and ends with me. I’m the one who keeps everything in line and keeps everything running.

I’m very new at this job, but I like to think that I’m doing a good job. At least I’m trying.

Challenge to my Readers:

Jobs are just jobs, but you need to do everything with dignity. Even if you’re minimum wage, your job is important.
