Well hello again... my goodness it seems like it has been forever since I've a had a spare moment for a story. To be honest with you I just shuffled some of those spare moments around just to check back in for once in a while. Well lets see... where do I begin! Well dadgum... as I sit here and scratch my head (literally) I am really trying to figure out what to talk about. Has it been that long already, I surely have a ton of stuff to talk about. I guess what I mean is that I don't want to leave anything out.
Well, I guess I can always start with school. As you all may or may not know, I started working at the cage which is where we handle prints and camera rentals. That has been going really good and I am tickled pink with that job. By the way "tickled pink" is southern slang for I'm thrilled or I'm excited. Just had to throw that in there.
Okay here is something worth talking about. THE WEATHER!!! How about it! So we get some snow a couple of weekends ago and then the next weekend it's nearly 80 degrees! Hey... I'm not complaining a bit, I'm tickled pink with this weather. I've never been a fan of cold weather so I'm just as happy as I can be when it's 60-70 degrees out.
Ah hah!!! I knew something would come to my mind sooner or later. Remember that job I had with Cycle Gear. Yes I said had... well I'm happy to say that Cycle Gear no longer has a hold on me. Meaning that the job I got switched to was a serious drag and was weighing me down like a old beat up el camino with a ton of bricks in the back. I'm serious... about 6 months ago we got a new manager in the store and to my dismay, he was donkey. Hopefully you can read between the lines when I say donkey!
So with my job at the cage and my job at Cycle Gear and my classes... by the weekend I was pooped... or should say just brain dead. To make a long story short I got moved into a salesman position. Which was something I did not like at all. I struggled with it for a while but like I do everything else, I put my head down and gave it 110%... even though I dreaded going to work to talk with people (customers) who thought they knew everything about motorcycles. You would probably think that I would like that kind of job since it dealt with motorcycles but with the kind of crowd that came in and the way the new manager was to us, the employees' it become a yucky time for me.
I will spare you all the things that took place since that will make me look like I'm whinning but I will say this. Once the new manager took over, he hired around five new people and they all quit within the first week... just because they were not capable of putting up with his ways.
I look at it this way, I took a job I pretty much hated and turned it around to where I was meeting almost double of what my sales goal was expected out of me. So enough talk about that place. I've wiped my hands and dusted my feet from that dreadful place and ever since I told them that I was finished with their "childs play" job, the windows of opportunity have opened up for me everywhere else.
Well my time is all used up. I will try to check back in the morning when I'm at the cage. After classes start, everything tends to settle down a good bit so I will have time to jump back into my lost and found of bunny show stories.
Until then!
