When I opened the cannabis dispensary, the first thing I had to do was hire employees.
- I had done some hiring in my past job experience, but I had never had to schedule them.
Scheduling seemed foreign to me. I was talking to another dispensary manager and asked him what he did for scheduling. He told me he had a cannabis dispensary employee scheduling system. He walked me through downloading the software and he also told me how to use it. I was working with him, but I wasn’t catching on. I put all my employees into the system, added how many hours I had to schedule, and started working. I could input how many and what hours the employees could work. I had to admit that everything was going well until the dispensary employee scheduling system wasn’t working. I called the cannabis dispensary manager that I had become friends with over the last several months, and told him about the employee scheduling system not working. He walked me through a sequence of diagnostic tools to find out what was wrong, but he was stumped. He told me to remove the program and reinstall it. Once the scheduling system was working again, he walked me through saving the program at that point, so I could just start again at the beginning. I suddenly remembered why I hated working on computers so much. The programs were only as good as the person who created them, and those who ran them. I was lousy with computers, and was afraid I would never master the employee scheduling system, or any other computer system. .
