Some things need order and procedure to function effectively and smoothly. One such thing is the current expansion project at my workplace. My wife and I are in the process of buying the business from the old guy who owns it, let's call him Arthur.
Well, Arthur is wanting to get everything in place ready for when we take over, but is rushing into decisions without consulting us. I understand he doesn't have to tell us anything until our signatures are on the paper, but a 'heads up' that stuff is happening so I can get prepared is better than having to retroactively work around the ill-thought out rush-jobs with little to no notice…
We've just had a small addition to the store room built - would have been nice to have the floor concreted and the materials for the interior of the new area in place ready to use, but no. I will be carrying everything through the shop instead. Thanks, Arthur.
I also need to create (with a hammer) a doorway into the new part so we've been trying to reduce the amount of stock so there's less to move or cover, but Arthur keeps double-ordering stuff. As a result, I haven't been able to get close to that wall for two weeks…
Oh, and Arthur has arranged for a new chiller unit to be fitted this week, so everything else needs shuffling around to fit…
Eris, please get out of Arthur's head, or plant the idea that it's time for another holiday… I need to get stuff sorted, and Arthur chucking spanners is only making things harder.
