its been kinda crazy. i am the manager of the newest McDonald's in the tri-cities. its been pretty stressful and long hours. i think the rough spots are worked out. this is unique in the sense that there are two store managers at this location due to construction issues with the other store that was to open prior to mine. but we are working through it and continue to bring this team of 45 crew 11 managers 2 deposit on 2 maint. people together as a team. that would be why i tell people i have 4 kids of my own and 60 at work. no wonder i am always tired............
this company always takes care of their people and appreciate the things we do on a daily basis.
usually ever other year the company takes the restaurant manager along with their spouses on vacation. ( no i don't have a spouse or significant other) anyways we are going to Hawaii for a full week, all expenses paid!!!!!! wow i think i am finally getting a little excited.... even though i will miss the kids...... love ya guys
