I'm moving today. And it's supposed to rain all day. Nice. It's only fitting cuz when Cameltoes and I moved my stuff into the storage shed in February, it was snowing.
As I have stated in a previous entry, the place I will call home ain't exactly a nice place. But, it's alls I could find that was on the first floor. With two, 50 lb, dogs at my house, I ain't making that many trips up and down the stairs to walk them. Call me lazy, I don't care.
I'm working again today, as I have every Saturday since we've opened, and we are once again slower than molasses in January. Shocking, I know. The phones aren't even really ringing, which is odd, because on Mon-Fri, the phones ring of the bloody hook. So far, with 37 minutes left before we close, we have made a grand total of $171 for the day. Amazing. And we are paying one tech about $65 for today, and the kennel boy about $45. And that's not including my salary for the day. Yeah, we be in da red just a wee bit.
However, we've been averaging around a grand/day for this week (not including today), so we're getting closer to the elusive "break-even" point. But until we start doing better on Saturdays, or even better, close on Saturdays, they are going to keep hurting our bottom line.
I just figured out that, assuming that nobody else walks in in the next 30 minutes, we will average around $900/day for the week.
On an unrelated note, my parents were supposed to fly out of here at 6:30 this morning. Thanks to the remarkable knack for the airlines to be on time, they didn't take off until about 8:45. I feel bad for them, cuz a lot of that time was spent stuck on the plane.
T-minus 23 minutes and counting. I'm not looking forward to moving. Much less having to shuck out some more $$$ to rent the U-haul and bribe, I mean pay, my brother to help me move. Oh well. It's all part of it.
Keep on keepin' on.
