Using my super powers for good...

Well, that was cool. Because i'm a manager, i got to take care of a customer even though it went against corporate policy.

Expensive Purchases

I got this email from my girlfriend...

We've just decided that everything that is expensive, ends in "i" or "a"

Prada
Gucci
Fendi
Gabbana
Pucci

And they're mostly Italian.


Hey wait!  I fit into those guidelines, too.  ;)

Her last name ends in 'a' and she's part italian... Funny, and scary.

Capital T and Capital M

I've jumped up in rank. No longer just a sales associate, I'll be a manager come Sunday. I'm not working for The Man, I am The Man. But I'm not keeping anybody down. Oddly, it'll be almost 9 months to the day, since I started working for Canine* Camera.

It feels right, and quite a bit scary. The pay jump is worth the extra effort. It'll slow down school a bit further but honestly, is anybody surprised by that at this point in my academic career?

I'm inheriting a decent if not well run store. Fairly full of battle weary veterans. Everybody has room for improvement, but nobody sucks. Personally I plan on trying to win everybody over by doing my shit as well I can. Then we'll see about changes.

*Not their real name. Not sure I want them to find me and my blog by googling themselves. If you want a hint, think of a wild member of the canine family. The parent company is Cracker Camera. Think round and salty, or that old song... "Putting on the Cracker"
