After almost a month of hard work and dedication, the basketball league is finally about to be underway. I finally found a worthy league director to run it and she was right under my nose the whole time. One of my Kids Klub staff actually did an internship where she was doing things that were similar to running a basketball league. We are currently in the process of putting teams together and our goal is to start the league by July the 6. Its been a long time coming and our members couldn't be more happier that it is actually about to start!
So remember how I said last week that I was supposed to have a meeting with the janitor on Monday to discuss alternatives so that I could keep him working here? Well, he never showed up for the meeting on Monday, then he decided not to show up yesterday. Needless to say, I reached my breaking point and I decided to let him go today once he got in. So I called him into one of his offices and pretty much told him that I was letting him go. I would like to keep it PG for you guys but lets just say that he did not take it too well and let me have an ear full before we were finished talking. On his way out, he also decided to throw his keys at the front desk. This was by far the worse one that I have had to fire. I really dislike having to fire people but sometimes it just has to be done.
A pet peeve of mine is when people are late no matter what they are late to. I've had a janitor that was late the past couple of days and hasn't actually said anything to me as to why he was late. So today I stopped him and questioned why he had been late the past couple days. His excuse was that he recently moved back home with his parents whom live an hour away. The guy is a great worker but tardiness is something that I just won't put up with. So, since I now know the reasoning behind his tardiness, I think I told him that we would meet on Monday to try and discuss a plan that would benefit both of us in this situation. Hopefully I am able to keep him because like I said, he is a really good worker.
We are the only club in Columbus who offer their members a steam room for daily use. Well, since I have taken over the club, there have been issues with the steam room. We've had to rip out the whole thing and redo it at one point. Well, now we have this issue where we have a leak coming out the back side of the wall and we cannot figure out what is going on with it. I've had multiple vendors come out and take a look at it and give their opinion on what is wrong but still no answers. The steam room is very popular among men and I have been receiving all sorts of complaints about it being out of order. Patience is not a strong point in this gym to say the least!
There are a few clubs in the Columbus area that are having a remodel of the club which will cause it to be shut down for a few weeks. Some of those clubs are fairly close to the one that I work at and as a result, the members from those clubs are going to be using our club for the time being. Traffic has really picked up in our gym and we also have more trainers that I have to look out for as well. This will probably be the longest 2 months of my life because all these remodels are back to back to back. It is also a chance however that our misc gross will pick up so there are a few plus sides to the situation.
