Don't fade away, don't disappear!
What a weekend. I guess I updated on most of it. Did I comment on Black Friday? It was great. I love Black Friday. Not having to close was nice. Admittedly is was as busy as angels during Armageddon(I like that.), but it was also fun. At one point in time we had... wait, let me think... nine people in electronics. There were carts of go backs and pulls full to the brim of DVDs and CDs and anything else you might fancy to find in the department. Most of the guests were actually pretty cool. Granted, we had our fair share of whiny and irritating people, but it really wasn't bad. Even when the guests are a pain in the arse, I see the team rally around itself. You know. even though we'd all lose our jobs, if a brawl ever broke out in Target, I think we'd win. Because we're great.
I was in there yesterday and asked Maribeth about my transfer stuff, just to see if she'd found anything out about the Supertargets in San Antonio. She said she hadn't had the chance to look yet, and then asked me if promotional opportunities were available if I'd stay. I told her that they had already presented the Specialist thing to me, and then she says, No, I'm talking about Team Lead positions. Two TLs are currently in the process of leaving, and apparently Maribeth considers me an eligible candidate. I told her that if she'd asked me that a month earlier, I'd be all for it - but as it stands now I have three weeks, no money, and no place to stay. Unless I win the lottery or Dad is offered a job somewhere back here in Florida making triple what he makes now for another company... it's not happening. At least not for awhile. Of course, T1934 isn't going to hold a position for me. I'm as replaceable as anyone. And besides, there are plenty of people more suited and more deserving of a TL position. Like Amanda. Or Erik(who doesn't want it) or Tracy(who also doesn't want it)
Whatever. They'll figure it out.
I'm listening to Skillet's new CD right now and honestly I'm a little disappointed. When I first heard Rebirthing I thought it was one of the best songs I'd ever heard. And it is. But the rest of the CD isn't as remarkable. Of course, it's excellently written. The music is tight and solid. Polished. But it's not exactly innovative.
Stay up late and we'd talk all night
In a dark room lit by the TV light
Through all the hard times in my life
Those nights kept me alive!
Listen to the radio play all night
Don't wanna go home to another fight
Through all the hard times in my life
Those nights kept me a live!
This one is actually really good. Not their usual style, though, which is odd. They're usually more like, energy/power rock. This one has some more acoustic stuff that I'm not used to hearing from them. Hm.
People keep asking me what I want for Christmas, and honestly I don't want anything. I came to the realization while talking with Cherah the other night that the only thing I really, really want is time. I want to spend time with people. I have less than three weeks, and then I'm in Texas until whenever. I'm going to miss you people. Give me an evening with you at Starbuck's or a hug. Those I'll keep forever.
