The halfway point.

3 days down, 3 more to go.... we are halfway done! In terms of workload we are actually MORE than halfway done. Instead of just sending some people home early today we actually had to call some temporary people who were scheduled the next couple of days and cancel their shifts completely! The NSO team decided that since things are moving along so quickly, having to to train and direct new people who haven't worked at all would actually make things go a lot slower. Our core group (the people who are either staying on as part-time after the opening and the temps who had the most availability) are really doing fantastic!

Each time I come out of the stockroom I spot another piece of clothing that I love! I think I am extra excited since it's been so long since I've been in an outlet. Stacie and I decided that we're going to buy new outfits, or at least one new thing to wear, for our grand opening. I don't own any current J. Crew clothes since we are the ONLY factory store in Utah, so it will be fun to have something new for the big day!

I spent most of my day in the office again. Kim audited the files of all of our part-timers and we had filled out some sheets incorrectly so we had to do them all over again. There were a couple of other things we had to do or fix in the employee files and lots of other operational details to go over. I'm so glad that Kim is here to help so that we get everything perfect in the beginning. I'm so thankful for the NSO team in general! They are making sure that we start off on the right foot. Hopefully all of the associates remember their hard work and we can keep the store in this beautiful shape forever!

I would like to welcome Amy to the blogger club! Look what you started, Katie! Bella is flippin' ADORABLE! That photo of her at the beach, looking right at the camera, is too cute for words! It should be a greeting card! And now that everyone has seen Park City, let's see what Pensacola looks like!

It has been a long day and I'm pooped! I rented Maid of Honor tonight- some people at work said it was cute.... we'll see. Night!
