(no subject)
I am in current need of someone who can invent a Star Trek style transporter that will SAFELY work on humans. I will do what I can to fund the project, and repay you for your time, if you can just get this to work. I am wanting to move a friend from far away, and this seems to be the only practical way at the moment :(
Well, anyhow... now that I've gotten that off my chest, we'll see what else I can write for tonight....
Employee Meetings suck... and I had one today. :( I hate having to be in stupid Radio Shack dress code for the stupid meetings... it's not like I was coming from having worked in the store, and I wasn't going to work afterwards... so it was like stupid. What really really sucked though was the fact that my poetry class lets out 15 minutes after the afternoon meeting lets out... and with the way the damn bus schedule works I would have to cut out on class nearly 45 minutes early... since the class is just 70 minutes long, that's like stupid.
I don't have a driver's licence, and it takes 45 minutes to get home. Once having gotten home, I would have to get back to southland (where the meeting is held) and southland's right near Chabot (the community college I go to) it seemed stupid to go home. If had gone home I would have two choices for getting back for the meeting... one, I get a ride with Anton and Vladimir, get blasted out by techno, and if Anton's driving, risk my life. two, take the bus, and pay another 1.60 to get down there. It seemed more reasonable to not go home, and just kill some time.
I ended up laying on the grass in the court yard at Chabot. The sun felt nice for a little bit, but I soon got restless. I swung through the book store, and checked out a few things. I found a cool set up that has a tail-less "female" mouse as I call it (ball-less and wireless) with a pad, and a pen like styli. This would be a great set up to work with all my drawing and stuff. I hella suck with drawing with a mouse, and as it is, I'm not fantasticly talented all the time even when drawing with pen or pencil. But I do like to make my own graphics for my web site... I like to add my signature to the end of my poems, and I like to do all sorts of cool shit, and a set up like that would be great on my new computer. I almost bought it, but decided I should investigate pricing, and stuff before I jump right in. Since my dad needs to get a new keyboard, we're heading out to comp usa tomorrow evening, so I was gonna do some price compairison out there, and see what they have to offer.
After I left there with a bottle of orange soda, and cherry jelly bellies, I caught the bus over to Southland, and wandered around a while waiting for the afternoon meeting to finish up, so I could go wait in the back room for the evening meeting to start. In the process of waiting, I found a couple of jean skirts I liked, and an action figure of Ringo as he appeared in the Yellow Submarine movie. He also came with one of the apple bonker guys.
The meeting was boring, as are all Radio Shack employee meetings. The only one I've been to where we actually did something other than listen to the toad talk (our district manager Todd) was the one where he was out of town, and the Southland store manager, Tracy who's also a Assistant DM, ran it... and he had us playing with products, seeing how many uses we could come up with for different products. He didn't qualify that with legal uses, so we had some weird shit in there for the wire ties, the velcro, the mail box alarm, and stuff. *Shrugs* 'Twas fun anyhow, so I won't complain... we still had to deal with all the normal boring shit with him talking, and watching a video... but well, Tracy handled it so much better than the toad does.
After the meeting, I had to run back to my store, and drop off a CLA for a Nokia 5100 that I'd had ICSTed to my store. I'd sold it to someone I activated on Verizon on wednesday evening... but we didn't have any in stock. In order to get him our value deal discount, I rung him up for it then, and told him he could come get it on friday. So he should come in and get it then :) It's been put aside with his name on it, and as long as no one pulls something stupid, he should get it fine.
I have HTML class tomorrow and a test at the end... Well, a quiz actually, but same diff. I'tll probably be easy enough, we'll see how it turns out tomorrow. *sigh* I do hav'ta take notes though... since I'd told someone I'd take notes for her since she was gonna miss class, so she'd know what she'd missed. Now she just has to sign my guestbook so I can get back to her, and let her know what she missed at the end of class last friday. Oh well, whatever, I'll deal with taking the notes, no biggie I guess.
No one's on-line now... and well, once I finish with my journal, I guess I'll go to bed. Nothing much else to do. It is one am now... and I do hav'ta get my butt out of bed at 9 so I catch the bus at quarter after 10. I might wake up on my own sooner than that, and stop in to check on my journal, possibly email some friends, IM anyone who's on... and *shrugs* Who knows.... I don't expect many people to be on though... since everyone seems to have a job, classes, or just sleeps at that time of day... everyone's on between 3 and 9 my time...
Hmmm... now I'm confused as to what Radio Shack's policy on hair is... I'd been told no "weird" hair cuts... no trendy shit, no odd colors... etc. My hair cut is definately an odd one. My manager liked it, but she doesn't enforce dress code very much, as long as we look somewhat reasonble, and the customers can figure out we're the employees. The DM has seen it at two seperate meetings, and both times, hasn't said a word about it... I'm not expecting him to comment on it or anything, but I was expecting to have to argue with him to be able to keep it. I guess I shouldn't complain if they're deciding to over look it. Whatever, just means I only have to take the crap of my family over it. Thus far though, they haven't really complained about it much.
Though I am thinking now before I turn off the lights for the night, I'm gonna highlight the stuff I like in the new Frederick's of Hollywood catalog... maybe I could treat myself to something new if I can achieve some goals I have set for myself right now... like actually bothering to clean up my room! Heh.
Well, I guess that's enough for now. G'nite everyone!
