The Battle of Hot
It's hot outside. Everyone is complaining. Everyone is counting down the days till we get out of school.
The graphics room is cold. I spent more than I should have on a portable fan to carry with me. I don't really care about school enough to count down.
In general, things are pretty good. My job at EB Games is working out really well. I am getting paid a lot more than I did at Planet X for less work, and less stress. The work that I actually do I do a lot better than I did at my old store. Is it because I have a better manager? Maybe. Is it because there are only 3 other people working there? Quite possibly. Is it because the store is more laid back than my old store? I think so. Unfortunately, EB Games was bought out by the Barnes and Nobles empire and soon will be one with GameStop (owners of Planet X). Hopefully GameStop will keep all the good things about EB, because frankly, EB is a much better company than GameStop.
Retail aside, I have noticed some changes in me. I don't think many people have noticed...it's mostly in my head, I think. Actually, I am quite sure that it is in my head. Are the changes good? Maybe...but I don't like the changes. I am growing up, but for some reason, I feel as if I am taking a step backwards.
