    The tsunami.

     

    The mudslide.

     

    The apartment fire in DC.

     

    The machete attack no more than 2 blocks away from me.

     

    And the helicopter crash off the Woodrow Wilson bridge (I know the mother of the girl who died in the crash- she's a very good friend of my mother-in-law and was at our wedding).

     

    I swear. Can we have JUST ONE DAY where death, doom and destruction don't get top billing?

    and people wonder why I quit watching the news....

    Working at the Discovery Channel store was fun over the holidays. Got to play with lots of nifty stuff (and picked up some of it too, thanks Becky! Bet that's the last time you run THAT contest again!)... but I learned that it is not physically possible for me to remain on my feet for more than two hours at a time before shooting pains up and down my back and legs made it nearly impossible for me to walk.

     

    But I had a blast, and working with Becky is always fun... right up until one of the other assistant managers does something ASTRONOMICALLY stupid with one of the registers, thus keeping us there THREE HOURS later than we should have been trying to find the mistake.

    actually, I probably will run that contest again, but start it now, when just getting 5 PassPorts a day is difficult... by the time we get to Christmas again, everyone who's serious about it will be up to 30 or so, thus making it a little more challenging.. and I'll change the parameters a bit... 10 PP + $10... increase by 5 (so the next step will be 15PP = $15 and so on)

    I know it makes you cranky... but that's my favorite store. I should get a job there (they could pay me in cool stuff...)[/quote

     

    I actually don't mind the company... it's a great place to work and the benefits are good (once you become a store manager and qualify for them), and yeah, getting to play with all the demo's is way cool (I have MASTERED the Vectron Ultra-Lite)... it's just that the store manager we have right now is a ditz who doesn't understand the concept of "delegation" and has to do everything herself at the last minute... and also doesn't seem to understand the value of the employee she currently has and is in danger of losing about 1/2 of them because she still has her Christmas staff and doesn't have enough hours to give any of them more than 4 hours a week... *sigh* and our DSM is visting tommorrow (and just guess who's opening...grrr...)....

    Ah, inventory... the retailer's glimpse of hell...Thankfully, I was closing that day as well, and once I got the registers closed, and the cash-on-hand auditted, I got to go home... unfortunately, we're a targe store, so we'll be doing another one in August...:tonguewav

    Yeah... when you have the lady wander in looking for the "Love Straight?" bracelet that everyone has right now....*sigh* C'mon, people, at least read the sign, huh?

     

     

    Yeah, we're doing the Body Challenge, as well.. center court... tons of people trying to get weighed in and not have anyone they're with see how much they put on over the holiday... hopefull it'll be good for sales though... so does your stockroom look like a train-wreck... ours isn't too bad, but it'll be better once all the MOS that we couldn't do during inventory gets done finally...

    Yeah, I was Asst. Manager-ing out at a Holiday store clear across town over the holidays, just got back to my regular store... we had ugly ceilings, ugly walls, ugly floors.... and the AC sounded exactly like a train rumbling overhead every 10 minutes or so...I'm closing today, but I have tommorrow off... is your floor-set done yet?

    I work at a Discovery Channel Store.

    *LOL* oh, that's funny! What's your store number? I also work for the Discovery Channel, store #039, Scottsdale Fashion Square, Phoenix AZ. The term "Sales Lead* gave you away...I'm also a Sales Lead, bucking for a promotion to Asstistand Manager.... our DSM, Peggy Enger, is visiting this week... it's a small world, huh?

    I've been around, it's just that my work schedule has been sucking the life out of me lately, that and I just haven't felt inspired to post anything. Just past November I got promoted from simple sales associate to sales leader which is basicly a part time management position. There was supposed to be a raise with it but, for some reason, didn't take effect right away like it was supposed to. I worked through the entire hoilday season with more duties but at the same pay rate. It's been corrected so my next check should show my new pay rate plus back pay.

     

    The week after Christmas was the worst with almost nothing but returns....for weeks I've had a desire to go on a murderous rampage leaving a trail of bloodied corpses in my wake.

    Sounds amazingly like my job... mind if I ask who you work for?

    Can I yell at my boss for not being able to write a schedule that allows me to have a day off between here and Christmas? We've got three managers, surely something can be arranged and I have shopping to do....*sniffle, sniffle, cough, cough* gee, boss, I don't feel so well...
