I'm feeling... Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2005 Ok, so, first of all, I had a really shitty (is that spelled correctly?) weekend. It's the new guy. He got here and just started spouting off about the changes that were going to be made. He didn't try to be graceful at all about it. Honestly, he came off as being a pompous jerkweed. When you come into a new place and you start demanding drastic changes, you automatically get a bad rep. He could have been cool about it and explained to everyone that there were going to be some changes in hopes of improving the stores productivity, and not demand complete compliance or theres the door. I mean, he does try to be nice at certain times, but its just really hard to jump into conversations that don't involve you in the first place, especially when you initially come off as a bad guy. I understand that he has some pet-peves, but come on. Nothing on the counters? Nothing on your desk without your approval? How is that making things around here more efficient? It's not. Let it go dude. Lighten up a bit, and just leave people alone. We've been working here for a while. We know the drill and all. We know how to do our job. Why keep looking over our shoulder every five minutes? He keeps doing these things and, I for one, would just like it to stop. I like working for Radio Shack. We've got a good thing going there. Please don't ruin it with demands. Leave us alone and we'll be fine. He would be so much better if he would just stay away from the customers that I'm helping and not chime in every time he has some kind of smart/witty/clever/completly asinine/oafishly belligerent comment to make. I understand that things need to be straightened out around here, but don't be a dick about it. I mean, come on, when you yell at customers for not knowing exactly what they are coming in for, well, what does that say about Radio Shack? As the motto says, "You've got questions, we've got answers", not "You've got questions, go eat a dick". Ah fuck it. If all goes well, he will calm down when he see's that none of his employees are sticking around due to his behavior. He has to find ways to get along with his employees while getting what they really need to do done. Charles was really great at that. I understand that Charles wasn't by the book on all subjects, and yes, he did need some work in certain areas. But the employees loved him. I know I'm not alone in thinking this either. Well, on a semi-related note, Tony is probably going to start working over here at the Shack soon. Finally, I will be his superior in some way! Mwahaha! - heroic pose - Also, when Tony get's here, the fun shall begin. It'll be good to have someone here at the Shack who honestly gets my humor. Ok, so on Monday, I had this rediculous meeting to go to up in Columbia. It was really just a meeting about how to sell Sprint. A little hint. If you have worked for Radio Shack for at least 3 months, you fucking know how to fucking sell some god damn mother fucking Sprint phones. Well, they also talked about some new Dish thingy, such as the raise in prices. Not nearly as much as cable though, so it's all good. We talked about the new Sirius Sportster set. The thing comes with the car docking station, the reciever, the antenna, and now, a remote. I really do think that Sirius is a fuckload better than XM. Really just for one reason. The mother fucking techno bitches. They have such a better amount of variety there, it's rediculous. As far as country, rock, hip-hop, talk, entertainment, techno, classical, and other shit goes, Sirius takes the cake. Only downfall is that Sirius is about three dollars more a month than XM. Ah well, ce la vie. If that isn't spelled correctly, eat me. I'm not to good with my foreign languages. Anywho, the meeting ended around 3 o'clock, so Max, Mike, and I walked next door to the "Everything Less Than A Dollar" store. It was amusing to say the least. People from all walks of life were in there. Needless to say the standard customer though was the disgruntled black woman with 3 kids. But still, there was guite the variety of bargain hunters. Found some cool shit. Like transformer playing cards. Rock out with your cock out bitches.
