Dear Abbey
For context,
Last time at the RutgersZone, all seven managers had their first shift, had a crew meeting with our future line crew, had our first manager meeting, and begun all the preliminary efforts of our managerial titles: manager of staff, special events, menu and inventory, promotions, outreach, programs, and marketing (me).
This week, our line crew cannot begin working for us for another week, (their schedules have already been postponed a week prior to this). "UGHHHH" is the only word for it!
So us managers have been opening, closing, cleaning, restocking, maintaining, and smiling for the last few weeks (and another week to come) all by our selves.
So we aren't truly managers yet right? because I'm not really managing any one yet, just myself.
Still a great learning experience, managing yourself that is.
I do this by : checking the opening and closing procedures list to ensure I am adhering to all rules and tasks that need to be executed and constantly asking ferg (the GM) for feedback.
However, I noticed my overtime has made me a bit cranky to say the least.
How to I possibility keep my cheery attitude, keep the spirit in my team, and keep the boss happy ?!

What is this blog?
The RutgersZone is a revolutionary new space located in the Livingston Student Center on the Livingston Campus of Rutgers University. The space includes games like Skee-Ball and Pool, an array of HD Satellite televisions and a full-service ice cream/soda shop.
In addition to creating a unique experience on campus for Rutgers students, the RutgersZone also aims to develop life and leadership skills of the staff members working in the space.
This blog, the RutgersZone Experiment, is a chronicle of this ground-breaking experience being shared by seven undergraduate student managers and one professional staff general manager. These students are being tasked with working as a team to create an unmatched on-campus experience for our guests, learning to become effective managers and constantly "pushing the envelope" for what is expected on a college campus. As a part of their employment experience, each student manager is asked to blog at least once per week about the processes associated with opening this space or developing as a manger.
SPEAK. PREACH IT BECKY!!!! LOL
