Huzzah for Insecurity!
It must come with the territory, turning eighteen (July 10!) and graduating high school. Faced with so many upcoming changes, it’s natural to be just a bit worried. After all, who knows what could happen if I picked the wrong brand of microwave popcorn? I’m sitting in a baseball field where my little brother is practicing for…

Sir, you have the intelligence of a sea cucumber.
I was working today on the largest repetitive task at CompUSA: The Monthly Networking Section Reorganization of Death. This time, they’re really going to make sure it doesn’t get screwed up in a week. We’ll see. Anyway, one Einstein of a customer decided that the best place to leave his full Starbucks while he chitchatted on his cell phone…

Hit the Road, John
Well, it’s my fault for not writing this immediately when I was thinking about it. Towards the end of last week, I took it upon myself to fix the Xbox display at my store (CompUSA). Several weeks before, the Xbox rep had come by and naturally was annoyed that the system didn’t work. She shipped me some…

Way to Feel Stupid
I made myself get up at 7:00 this morning. Now if that wasn’t stupid by itself, it was to go to a work meeting. A work meeting that I thought started at eight, but really didn’t start until nine. What a wonderful start to the day. I stocked some games at CompUSA later on, and I realized something. You…

You want what‽
It’s surprising the things people come into CompUSA to find. Like office supplies, when there is a Staples store in every shopping center nearby, including ours. Sorry but we sell technology, not machinery. Yesterday a fellow wanted to buy a dot-matrix printer. Most people don’t even know what that is, not to mention having a use for one. He…

Return to All That Is Routine
I ended up writing way too much here, so pick a random paragraph! And headers are different. I’m just beginning to enjoy all the über-features of deviantART with my temporary paid account. Thanks to the Holiday Card Project, I’m enjoying a free month, and I just might end up paying the price to keep it going. w00t.…

Paul, Go Die
Paul is one of those few people who can disappear without a trace. He’s also one of those guys whose name is invoked with every question I ask about my hiring with CompUSA. As many of you know, I got the hire confirmation with this store quite some time ago, yet for some reason I still…

They Didn’t Hate Me
That would be referring to Rachel’s relatives, the ones I got to meet this past weekend. It was rather interesting, especially since most of Rachel’s family hadn’t seen these people in a good while either. Her grandma was cool, and her aunts and cousins seemed alright. Rachel and I and a few other members of her immediate family…
