out the door, again.
I was trying to post this yesteday, but my internet connectivity prevented me from doing so. thus here is yesterdays post, today. Hurrah!
Well today, or rather in 1:45min, I have my interview with Mel at *$. It's going to be a brease. Basicaly what i think we're going to go over are specifics like hours, wages, what she wants/expects. She did say that I should take the *$ training over again, as things have changed in two years, and to take it seriosly. I feel she said that because she knows I'm old school, and I have a certian way (the right way) of doing things. What she doesn't know is that as much as I'll miss what rules have gone away, and loath the new ones. I'm a total hardass at work. Drinks have to be make to the letter. No shortcuts. God i have shortcuts. If you were bakign a cake, would you eyeball the salt? Or yeast in bread. Hell if you were bartending, yould you leaveout an ounce from someone's beer? No. Absulutly not. And thats how i feel. So This will be, ...interesting. Especialy with this new Staples ..god... ..there's no name for it.. ...it's liek a whole new Staples.
We has that store meetign about it yesterday. Fucking crazy. Aparently there will be a commition. I'm resposible for the whole sales floor, and everyone who was in Office supplies, will now be doing other thigns. It's godamn crazy. And judgeing fro mthe specifics, it looks like this'll be a 3month trial, and it WILL work, its just a matter of how well it'll work. Oh, and our reputaion as a store, our names, our district are all on the line. Heads will roll if we fuck this up.
In other news, Debbie and her BF, and Jared and Maeve took me out to legal seafood yesterday afternoon. It was good. I got a bit sloshed on beer/wine/irish coffe and so did Debbie. All and all, it was tolerable and the food was wonderfull. (lobster ravioli by the way).
My bike is fixed. Thats been great. Her and I have been real close recently. Me wearing my sweater/Leather. Her looking beautiful in Baby blue... ...who needs romance, when one has a bike like mine. And on that note, I realy realy hate being blunt, and haveing to be forcefull. Asking people out, making the first move. Trying to bring up the ishue, only to have them have no idea what your talking about. It's a bit frustrating. Why cant I just walk into a bar/coffee shop see pure Lust in someones eyes and aproach them. Hell we'll even get away with words, just pure body laungage. Thats all that real matters.
Well before i go into a terrible bitter tirade, I'd best be off. I have this interview, then work till late(ya no time, just 'late'). then a meeting in NH @ 9am. To get to which I'm gettign a ride from a co-workier, who's picking me up at 6:45am tommorow morning. Grrreeeaaatt...
Peace,
