Yea, I know..... I know..... it's been like 7 months since I updated anything lately. I guess now is a better time than any.
One important thing I'll note is I changed my position at Best Buy now. The change happened around December of last year ('07). I am now in LP (Loss Prevention) which is mainly a door greeter in the store. Yep, I stand at the front of the door for around 8hrs a day saying, "Hi, how are you doin' today?" "Did you find everything OK? Great, have a nice day!" to stuff like, "This is not checkout, checkout is behind you where it says, "Checkout." to "Other door, that is enter only." Then I get the smart ass people who say, "But it says 'Exit!" "Then I have to say sometimes when I'm not in the mood to argue, "Yea, but right here (pointing to it), it says "DO NOT ENTER!" Then they get annoyed and walk out. I can go on and on about dialog I have with customers up there everyday but I think I may make that into another part of my site or maybe even a blog of some sort. It might be an interesting read. I always thought about working up there but didn't think I could stand standing up there all day and looking at the camera and greeting customers. 4 months later and I am still up there so I guess it's not too bad. A lot of people (myself included when I was still on the sales floor) thought all the LP person did up there was greet the customers and watch the camera. Boy, was I wrong. Besides greeting the customers, we are the last ones to get bitched at if the customer received no help and we try to resolve that problem before they leave the store or have to call a manager up front and see if they can resolve it. We direct customers to where the stuff is located in the store. When a customer walks in, they always want to talk to us about their problem with their laptop or camera and I try to help them anyway if I can or just bring them to the Geek Squad. If the registers are getting busy, I have to call for help up there sometimes to bring the traffic down and before customers bitch at me and stare at me for not getting more help. There are weekly and monthy physical security checklists which need to be done in the store to make sure things are in working order and there are no safety issues in the store. If there is, they need to be noted and addressed and corrected in one way or another. There is more stuff but I won't get into that here....
Other than that, there is honestly nothing much else going on really worth mentioning here. There is a few things new to my car I did but I'll add that to the blog I made specifically for that.
For now, I'll publish this part to get out of the way before I lose it because for some reason the "autosave" feature of this blogger site isn't working for some damn reason. If I have something else to post, I'll post it soon but I thought I'd do this now because it's been too damn long.
More to come. Stay tuned!
