On with the Old, In with the NEW

So seeing as how Gamestop bought out EB Games we had to combine systems sooner or later. Later seemeingly was a day ago and I walked in on it today.

Why is the change affecting me? I've only been there a few months. Because:
1. My store manager said as he hired me on "We bought out another company, and we will soon be merging ways together. This change won't affect you because you haven't been working here for very long. And one of the main things in working in a business is learning to accept change" Mind you he told me this on my second week of working. So I got accustomed to what I was used to doing, and once my mind is set on one thing it's like a dog "Can't teach an old dog new tricks" No I'm not old, but I'm sure as heck not getting the new stuff.
2. We had a good computer system. WHY CHANGE IT? Sure there were a few things that were old school and could've been fixed. EX: Paper credits, logs (for trades, and returns). But go change a system and have no training beforehand, stupid. Even managers aren't understanding it. I taught MY manager a thing today. SHIFT+TAB (accidently telling my boss SHIT plus tab, he didn't like that very much). F2 used to conclude a sale, now it's F12 and F2 is void. I probably almost voided a transaction at least 10 times today. Yeah I nearly cried by the end of the day, I teared up.

As one of my managers is trying to catch me up on the new system, this lady is pissed off because
1. Gil is looking for a credit that was lost.
2. Matt is teaching me how to do a transaction and give discounts.
SO the lady gets pissed and tells her kid "Look lets go, we'll come back another time, they're taking TOO LONG!" Matt said "FUCK HER, you need to learn this, they'll just have to deal with however long it takes"

I get visited by 3 different people at almost 5 minute intervals. First Frank, then Jams, then mom and Savanna. James I could handle, of course, once I got the reservations under control. Just as James was getting finished, Frank walks in. James leaves, and Savanna runs up to his car. Then mom and Savanna walk in, start picking on Frank which is hard enough on me because I can't multitask/hear stuff. So Savanna's telling me "GET ME MY DS LITE" and I'm like "STFU" but not saying it. I said "HOLD ON Frank's gotta be helped first" So I get Frank. Then I forget to give him 5 dollars because everything going on I can't think of what I'm doing. A guy comes in as I'm on the floor looking for a box, and asks me about a DS Lite powercord. I tell him I don't know if we have any, and what does Savanna do "OH they have some!" BULLCRAP. So I HAD to tell the guy (which is what I was going to do anyway, before she decided to open her mouth) "I'll go check in the back" I went in the back and punched a chair. It was getting to me more and more. So I walk back out, told the guy "Sorry no, but maybe check with another EB Games, or go to Best Buy. The system's new so they're (Nintendo) not going to be having any cords out because they aren't expecting people to lose their cords or have a dog chew through them anytime soon".

Luckily the day passed by quick. By the time I checked my numbers (Which LUCKILY now that we have IPTS knocked out of our ranking all I have to worry about is subs and reservations now) it was 8:40. We close at 9.

DAY 1 knocked down, going for DAY 2 which lets hope I survive.

I doubt I'll be making top 10 in the district for the week again anytime soon. I'm weak with Subs. I can get reservations fine...What made me top 10 was my IPTS which now THOSE are gone I have to worry DOUBLE for the subs. I can only count on myself now to probably bring the group down...

SORRY this was so long...needed to vent

Hello long-lost friend

As I read blogs from people (Toma, Lemonator, Imokwiththat) I start realizing I do miss these blogs.

I guess I don't write LJ's because nobody reads them anymore, or at least the people I don't want to read them. Then again when I'm in a bad mood I post on there to make sure certain people don't read them. My myspace blog has turned into a picture blog because I don't like getting personal on there about what's going on because someone reads (mom).

Guess what I'm trying to say is, I wish I could write here, but I feel everything is insignificant. Everyone posts about how productive their summer is, or their job hunting, I on the other hand have nothing.

I graduated. I have a job that I've had since February (Gamestop). I got a DS Lite in hopes of unboring myself with a brighter screen. My graduation party passed meaning I now have nothing to look forward to except the always-talked-about trip to San Antonio for a few days, or a trip to Nashville. Bowling For Soup is in 7 days. I've been trying to visit the pool across the street from my house as much as I can. I keep myself busy with friends if I can find someone who's not busy.

1. I wish I had my license to drive my car.
2. I wish I wasn't afraid to drive during the day.

There are games I'm looking forward to, but no operating system to play them on. Titan Quest being the 'games'. My computer won't be able to handle that game, and my mom won't leave the laptop with me. Age of Empires 3 is too advance for my computer. It doesn't meet minimum requirements. How sad is that.

The End
