SAD TRI-ATHALON NEWS

Sorry Royall if you read this before I get the chance to tell you in person, but are fun little weekend trip to Magrath is going to be one member short. Sometimes being the manager really sucks.

These past four months I have been working really hard at loosing weight and getting in better shape so I could train to run a tri-athalon this summer, I have been doing so good and have lost a total of 25 pounds and can do all the 3 stages the tri-athalon requires. 750 meter swim, 26km bike ride and 5km run, however I have never put them together, that is what these next two months were going to be for, and hopefully drop another 10 pounds in the meantime. Until yesterday when one of my part timers asked for the weekend off for a wedding and my other part timer is away on holidays. How can I say no, I could not handle being the mean manager that does not let people have time off when they ask for it. Actually I have a hard time saying no to anything they ask for, maybe I am just not manager material. I know they like me but I have a hard time talking to them if they are doing things wrong or showing up late for shifts or not being professional enough with customers, ahh anyone with manager experience please help.

So with me being to layed back and having the inability to say no, has now left me with a goal unaccomplished for the year. However I think I am going to keep training for it, maybe try and figure out how to do one on my own.
