I will push back harder

[sitnspin]

Ugh, of course I have another employee issue.  I swear, just one day of everyone being cool would complete my life.

I have a personal trainer on staff now who is an independent contractor, but also teaches classes for me as an employee.  She is really great and everyone loves her, except...we have this constant control/power struggle going on between us.

Dude, I am your boss and the owner of the studio, I will always win this battle.

How is your Monday going?

No complaints from me so far. I don't think it will be too busy of a workday for me (both bosses are off today), so I'm just taking my time with my to-do list and listening to music.

LOL, I'm sure she is the only one "struggling" in this situation. What a PITA though!

I came into work earlier this morning to start summer hours, but I was 20 minutes later than planned because of subway delays! Oh well, I have time to kill at the end of the day anyway before dinner so I can make it up then.

I'm meeting BFF again tonight for dinner with another friend, so I'm looking forward to that.

I am hoping with time, she will figure out the dynamic and stop trying to tell ME what to do.  It will never fly.

It's going good. I still didn't get to bed at a decent time last night, but I had no issues getting up and working out this morning.

My boss is out this week, but I have so much I've got to get done. I feel like I'll never get caught up.


sitnspin, "I appreciate your input and I will take it into consideration when determining what is best for *MY* studio." Annoying when people who work for you try to assert authority on you.

That would be frustrating and quite irritating.

So far no complaints! It's going to be hot today and we leave Sunday for Vegas! I can't wait! I need a vacation so bad!

How annoying!

I am getting observed next period. It was last minute, and the kids are doing group work. Group work is kind of a wild card, but whatevs. Hopefully no one runs with scissors or anything.

Ugh, some people... I hope she backs down and learns to accept how you run your business.

Today is good so far; doing 10 things at once, but the day is flying by (and my boss is out, so it's quiet ). Hopefully, the storms hold off because I have plans after work with a friend to walk the trail then grab Panera afterward.

About half done w day two of summer vacation.

I hate summer. :-)

My day ended up AMAZING! BFF's job wants her to move back to NYC ASAP!!!!! ))

And dinner was great - the three of us split a dozen oysters, a giant filet mignon, grilled lobster, and waffle fries, gnocchi, corn creme brulee, and brussels sprouts. Plus way too much booze for a Monday. lol So good!

[sitnspin]

I had a nice, long conversation with her and she does have the best intentions, but she needs to trust that I have my sh!t handled and have had it handled for a long time.

I hope this is the last conversation we need to have about it.
