A quick update

Yesterdays anticipated difficulties and problems did not materialize in quite the manner we expected, they still exist but things could be a lot worse. A small sigh of relief could be heard in gemmaks-ville at round about 17.00 hrs as news was received that the impending trauma had been averted somewhat. It is, it seems, an ongoing situation that cannot be completely resolved immediately but for now things are looking up.

Today should be a better day. Today is the 'official' opening of the store in which I work. There have been mail shots, a television and press advertising campaign and we are all ragged from preparation but it should, with luck and a prevailing wind be a fun day..........if knackering! I won't bore you with the anticipated rise in takings and customer flow but expect me to be at least an inch shorter by this evening! We have of course the company of the boards hierarchy, how lovely (not)..... best behaviour everyone please...... but we also have one or two good things going on throughout the day. Yes, I think today will be a better day :o)
