Remember how they used to be alive?
So the list of stores where people have thought of me as a worker of is now:
Target
Kohl's
Borders
I'm guessing there must be something about me that exudes a friendly demeanor and an earnest willingness to help solve the problems that crop up on any shopping expedition. Obviously I am the type of person that will drop whatever it is that I am doing at the moment and rush to the aid of the needy.
But seriously, when this case of mistaken identity occurred for the third time, it really dawned on me that perhaps a job in the service/retail business is not a far stretch at all. Regardless of my own misgivings about people in general, I do have a knack for solving problems and issues on a consistent basis, and I can associate with people quite easily and forge a bond of rapport very quickly when I want to.
That's the heart of the issue, and perhaps it is something I need to do in order to grow further as a person. Thankfully, I know someone who is the manager at the Apple Store in Old Town Pasadena and that I hang out with on a fairly consistent basis. He knows that I really do like Apple computers and is fairly knowledgeable about them in general. So here is the world premiere of the best news ever: I am now working as an Apple Store employee!
Actually, it's going to take a short while before I can wear that badge of honor, seeing as how I still have to go through a training period, but come on, it's Apple.
So all of you should come by and see me sometime; we can hang out while I try to sell you computers. It'll be grand.
