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

I think blogs were just a phase. I used to post in them like I ate dinner. 3 times a day even more. Now I realize I haven't even written in any blogs like I used to. I used to post like 3 a day on myspace, now I don't really post once a week.

Worked Wednesday. Never knew it's possible to have the most annoying customer to come in. I'm sorry, I'm a gamer/rpg player, but omg this girl was bad. LoL

Work today. Whoo

I now work at gamestop. Maybe one of 2 girls now that one girl got fired for always coming in late. It's cool. Hectic first day though. LoL my manager said when inventory gets checked next i can borrow some psp games. That means Savanna letting me use her psp. Like that'll ever happen

A few stolen cakes, a cup, and...

Well yeah. Peter Piper can sure bring the fun out of everyone. Minus me locking the keys in the trunk and having a security jimmy the door open. Needless to say we got that sucker open no scratches or damage. Mom was pretty pissed.

Mom stole cake, Stephanie stole cake, mom stole a cup for David. Peter Piper is so easy to steal things as long as anyone at the table isn't paying attention.

Two cousins, David and Bran, doing "It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!" on the DDR machine.

Getting mad because Bran beat me at air hockey. Being accused of cheating by DAvid, Stephanie, and Jams, at air hockey.

Seeing that deer mounts can be used for more than decoration.
Ex. - Bra hanger, boxer hanger, underwear hanger, and my 1up beanie hanger.

Final exams suck. But 2 more days of school. It's been cold. It makes me happy.

Stuff...
1. Grounded
2. Kelly Clarkson concert...'nuff said
3. Taboo
4. Caffeine'll be the end of me
5. Kiss my butt

Felt as if I've neglected this...
So here's a "NICE" post
good day

Breaking Benjamin/Smile Empty Soul/10 years
November 5, 2005

Journey, the day after. I'm going to that too.

WHOO

Yeah that damn hurricane Rita knew who was boss

BLECH

The End

So I'm redying my hair red even if I said I wasn't going to do it again.

I accidently set up my senior picture appointment for September 8, which is the same day as the 311/Papa Roach/Unwritten Law, concert. Luckily the appointment's at 4, so I'll have plenty of time to do stuff hopefully. I want to get there early, try and make it closer to the stage than the BFS concert. But I'm not complaining about my place in the crowd, I was as close as I wanted to be on all the songs I loved and my friend picked me up on his shoulders for 4 of the songs. Fun stuff.

I have a feeling this schoolyear will be short due to my getting out of school early everyday.

The fact that I get out 2 periods earlier means that on the TWO football games we have out of town, I can easily leave town and make it to the other city in a good amount of time. That stinks, as much as I like that most of our games are here in town, I'm actually going to miss going to another city to see what their football stadiums are like.

There are downfalls to the getting out early though. As much as everyone hates the pep rallies, I rather enjoy them. Mainly because they make me laugh at how stupid people act. Each grade fighting to win "grade of the week" and have "bragging rights" saying that they screamed the loudest. The mascot dancing around (and it's funny that our mascot is a guy "Tex" and he is played by a girl cheerleader. This fact was pointed out last year when me and my mom noticed that "tex" had tight girly pants, and had thinner arms and legs than a normal guy would have). And this year a girl is the mascot again for the very fact I had her for a class last year and the teacher blurted it out for everyone to hear. Also they have stupid themes every week for the pep rallies. This week it's "western" when we're playing wildcats. I mean come on...that doesn't even make sense. Why not wear cat ears and bowties and say that you're the kitties going after the wildcats, not "texans" rounding up the wildcats or something or other. And the dressing up is just to win a spot on the "spare couch" Which is a beat up red couch that sits on the floor of the gym in front of easily 1000 students.

Oh and the cheerleaders. Their dances that aren't even that good. Shaking their butts in front of the football players. The "TexAnns" are just girls who can do everything a cheerleader can but can't scream (in my mind that's my view).

Man...didn't expect this to be a rant

1985 was NOT my first BFS song

Anyone who thinks they're badass just because they listened to them after they heard about that song, and showed up to their concert last night only because that song, are nothing but f***ing posers.

Sorry but have to say that.

Come back to Texas...

I need to get out of those 'emo' state I've fallen into.

Car races tonight....hopefully

Tomorrow..well you take a guess

Oh and just curious...can cats get hernias? =/

I can't sing. I know the words, but I can't sing. It's probably the fact it IS 5:16 in the damn morning.

Radio Disney is gay for the fact they made up new words to "Almost" (Bowling For Soup). DAMN THEM. Other than that, they're the whole reason why I want XM radio in our car. I'm tired of having to go to San Antonio to listen to Radio Disney. (yes I'm a kid, shut your mouth)

I have a feeling I'm allergic to caffeine.

Try not to talk when there's nothing to say...

A much needed update was done to the pics. Yeah, most of me. But they were edited. I just haven't been using my camera lately. I need to actually. I know I'll be getting some pics in on my bday party, but that's too far from now. Maybe tomorrow I'll straighten my hair and get some pics when we go out tomorrow (my mom's bday). Eh whatever

311, Papa Roach, Unwritten Law

3 great bands. 1 day, 1 night. September 8. I'm gonna find a way to go if it's the last thing I do.
