A Day To Relax

Well, I finally have a day to actually relax. The past few days off have been filled with other household tasks that have made it like another day of work. Today, I can actually take things at my own pace despite the fact that I have to do two loads of laundry. It feels so good to relax especially after a successful day. Yesterday, my store actually caught up from some slower days and went ahead of our projected sales for the month. It's been hard because no one knows we're there. We have no sign on the strip mall marquee and there's a restaurant between our store and the street.

This isn't totally new territory though. The past three years I've worked at a new H and R Block office that also faced the fact that people didn't know we were there. We went out into the surrounding neighborhoods and visited the local businesses and beat the corporate goal for our office in 2007. I know we can achieve the same results at my RadioShack store.

Today, is about relaxation though. I plan to enjoy my time off to the fullest. I've got karaoke songs that I've been dying to practice and there's a cookout later this afternoon. My laundry is almost done so I'll be able to fully relax very soon. In the meantime, I can catch all of my readers up for the month. I'm still taking HRB online courses also. I plan to advance two more certification levels before next tax season. That will really help the income especially since I've officially transferred to the Bloomington district. Well, I'll write more later. It's time for me to start publishing this to all of my blog sites.
