contemplative I went to my first Management Training class. It was... ummmm... uuhhhhh.... yeah, well, I went, and that's all that counts.
I'm up for a Head Cashier position again at work. I'm not sure if I'm going to get it or not, but I won't be all butt hurt if I don't. I was told that our current Front End Manager will be leaving us at the end of the year, and that I am the most likely canidate to take her job. (Actually what was said was that the reason I was put into the Management Training Program was so I would be ready to take her job at the end of this year.) Another pay raise is in store for me! So w00t!
I shaved/dyed my hair again. It is black in the back and at the tips of my bangs, and the rest of the bangs are Lowe's vest red. LOL. It actually looks as though my roots are growing in red. Everyone at work accepts it, and two of my managers high fived me on my new do, so I think that I'm going to keep it this way for awhile. (Unless I get that Head Cashier position. Then I'm going to keep it all black.)
I'm watching Starship Troopers. "The Only Good Bug Is A Dead Bug!" :D

The bottom line in good management is about common sense - treat people with respect. You don't need classes to figure that out, and if you can't figure that out, you'll always be an asshole for a manager.

The classes are a requirement if I want any job in the store above a specialist, so here I am. I think that, more than anything, it's just a giant booster shot of Lowe's propaganda. But something that they are doing is right.. I mean, shit, they've made enough money to have their own racetrack and everything! :D

I always look back at my upper division management classes and laugh at all these fancy names - delegation, communication, etc.

Lots of people come in and just look around. Especially on Friday and Saturday nights. Those are always the customers I like best, as they never ask me, "Where do you keep your tools?" (while standing under the Tool World sign) or, "Hey! Load up 14 50# bags of concrete and this set of patio furniture into the backseat of my car that can't possibly hold 14 bags of concrete and patio furniture safely."
