The stop sign right by my work… I find it amusing.

My throat is totally messed up. I couldn’t even sleep last night because I was coughing so much. I really hope it doesn’t ruin weekend plans. Other than that, this week has been pretty okay. I had a seriously shitty day at work on Sunday… my manager saw me nearly break down in tears. We do PSP presentations, that I can pretty much do in my sleep now, but it’s basically an extended warranty, so some people just don’t want it. This one guy… was down right pissed off that I even mentioned the fact that his camera might fault him in some way in the next four years. He wasn’t impressed… so he said “this is fucking ridiculous” and walked out on me. GAH…

Then… Some guy was going to buy the Nikon D80, it’s our best camera. Not only was he going to buy the camera, but he was getting an extra lens, the four year PSP, an accessory kit and 2 8GB compact flash cards. HUGE sale. …That’s the sale that everyone in my department wishes they could make…

So I call up Gedder and ask him to bring me some keys… Everything in our department is locked up in cages underneath the demo displays, but because I work with a bunch of complete morons we don’t get keys because they are constantly forgetting to relock the cages and that drives our managers nuts. So anyway… I call Gedder and he says he’ll be right there… we wait for about 5 minutes, and I call again, and he says he’s coming… he just needs to stop in home theater first. So we wait around for another 5 minutes… and I say I’m going to go call again and the guy was like “forget it, it’s all the same price at Black’s anyway, I’ll just go there” and leaves. GAH!!! Seriously, that sale would have paid out over $180.

Next… I am walking through appliances and a couple of people stop me. We don’t have an appliance guy all the time because we had to fire ours, and the one that transfered from another store can’t work everyday… So who ever is around appliances is supposed to just help out. So I have to help these guys. They ask me a few questions about a washing machine, that I completely bull shit the answers for but they end up getting it anyway. And a mini freezer. And a dryer. Now, a washer alone pays out $67, and a dryer $82… on average. So I get it all together, the problem is that I don’t know how to ring out appliances… So I call Ged and his exact words were “I’m as useless as you are in there” … And he’s our only manager on the floor that day. …So I run over to computers and grab Nick, a guy who has been with the company for years… and ask him to help me. He comes of and he teaches me how to do everything, and rings the people out………….. under his number so he stole all the commission from me.

Suffice to day, my three big sales went totally down hill and I clocked out at $22 commission and 0.0% PSP sales. But, it was just one bad day. Monday and Tuesday went a lot better and Wednesday and Today are my days off, so I can’t complain. I do have a lot of school work to get done, but… that’s probably how it’s going to be from now until the end of December.

One last thing… I bought “The Sims: H&M Fashion” and it’s the coolest thing ever. I can not only dress my sims in H&M wear, but I can also build H&M stores. SWEET.

Hello Copter! Happy 23nd Andy Pandy.

It’s my older brother’s 23nd birthday! And just for him… I have a song. Sorry it doesn’t sound so good… and that I’m not in Toronto with you today!

At my new job, I’m a boy. I work with the boys, I drink with the boys, I talk like the boys and I have to try and fit in with the boys. I can easily walk up to the front and be with the girls, but that’s not my area. I don’t mind it at all, but I don’t get treated like a boy. I can’t go out with them when they’re picking up women, I can’t just do “drinks with the guys” with them, and I can’t talk about sex or porn with them. …Because I’m a girl.

This song is nothing really like that scenario, but it’s weird … I really don’t think guys can handle us being “like the boys”.

So hot. Such good dancing too. Ciara is my queen.

Fiddy might be taller, but Kanye is a better dresser, sexier, better singer, smarter, politically active… and the list goes on.

You may or may not know this about me… but I love Kanye West. Like, looove. His new CD, Graduation, came out yesterday and I got it today. I’ve been listening to it for like 4 hours straight. It is SO GOOD. So far, my favorite song is Flashing Light .

Kanye and 50 cent released their CD on the same day with a bit of a competition. Kanye is going to sell more, hardcore. Kanye reaches a wider spectrum of people, he doesn’t dress like a thug, he’s super sexy, his music is good, he’s got Mos Def and T-Pain on the album… So good. Fiddy just has one sort of sound, and he doesn’t even get very good beats going on, really. But, I’m a little biased here, I’m completely in love with Kanye, and haven’t liked Fiddy since this one song that drove me CRAZY. I don’t remember the name of the song though, I’ve blocked it from my memory. Although, Fiddy did give us the like “i love you like a fat kid love cake”. Nice. That was probably his greatest contribution to society, that one line.

I like this little paragraph talking about the two styles and men:

As on his previous releases, West measures his overflowing arrogance with self-conscious dollops of doubt, humor and vulnerability. Meanwhile, Fiddy’s outsized cockiness sounds like a comfortable artist repeating himself, afraid to tinker with his winning formulas.

BWA so true. Anyway, have a listen to that track, it’s really great. The whole album is. My little brown lover at work, Dhanung, has basically made me listen to Kanye, Craig David, Usher, Akon… etc. He’s trying to take some of the white-ness out of me.

Dhanung is the short one, Harry is the tall one. I love them both.

Speaking of Mos Def, you must check out this movie trailer, it looks absolutely hilarious. That could just be because I love Jack.

this kitten is in a box.

I took the post down. Not for any sort of moral reason, or because I think it’s right to defend the privacy of someone who has killed, but because two guys from high school who I got along with really well asked me really politely to do so. …Err, wait a second, I didn’t get along with one of them at all and we’d fight every time we came within spitting distance of each other and the other probably said about 3 words to me the entire 4 or 5 years we went to school together… and they asked me like total fucking assholes. However, contrary to what they’ll tell you about me, I’m not a bitch and I for some reason feel obligated to bow down to this particular request even though high school was a million years ago and I shouldn’t feel any sort need to do what they asked… so voila. Tis gone.
