Tammi's World

Just so you know...

......work is kinda insane right now. I'm actually going to admit out loud sorta that it's pretty much consuming my life at this point.

Got home Sunday evening (that post will be up sometime today - promise) and slept the best I've slept in MONTHS. A whole 7 hours straight. It was fabulous.

Except for what woke me up. It was my boss. Pretty damned early in the morning.

Tammi in very VERY sleepy voice: Hello? This is Tammi.
Boss: You didn't quit did you? Are you ok?
Tammi: I was sleepin'! What time is it?
Boss: 7:30. Please tell me you didn't quit.
Tammi: No. But you go ahead and talk while I drink some coffee and smoke. You really don't WANT me to say anything yet......

All hell has officially broken loose. There hasn't been a mattress shipped in my territory for over 2 weeks. I've got customer's that are on the brink of havin' to close their stores for lack of income.

Bad. Hell. Stuff of nightmares.

Now, normally I would be beatin' the hell out of myself thinkin' it was my fault. I know better. This is part of the reason they hired me. To fix this stuff. It's just no one had any idea it was this bad.

So there will be no road warrioring this week. This week I'm home, sittin' in front of my tiny laptop doin' paperwork like there was no tomorrow.

And prayin' that the light I'm seeing is the finish line and not a train barrelin' towards me.

Meanwhile, the boss called 4x yesterday to make sure I still worked for him. I laughed each and every time. And told him it would all be fine. It'll all be JUST fine. We will work through this and things will actually be BETTER when we're done.

I promise.

That's when he admitted he's calling ME for encouragement.

I just hope I'm right.

Meanwhile, things will be very light over here. I WILL get a recap of the weekend up today. And I'm tryin' to hit a few sites while reports are printing. But other than that, Tammi's World will be Otherwise Engaged for a few days.

But then it'll be better. It has to be.

I promised.
