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.
