Random Thoughts
I don’t have any one single thought on my head, but the site needs some kind of update, so I’ll just get through as much as I can.
Things at Neowin have been crazy, as of late. Got into a pretty big argument the other day, though I can’t really give details since they are covered by the staff N.D.A. To keep it simple, things got very heated and I’m surprised I wasn’t kicked off staff. I guess, in the end, I just feel a need to defend what I believe is right. All too often, in the past, I wouldn’t stand up for my beliefs and would let others trample over me. Now that I’m more mature and able to think without bursting into a ball of flames (well, at least gather my thoughts before exploding), I have the ability to stand up and say “No, this is wrong”. It may sound corny to some, but this is important for me and something I’ve become known for. I have a mouth, a mind, and a heart and I choose to use all three. I guess using them in moderation would be nice, though.
I’m convinced that I work with a bunch of idiots at Best Buy. I fight with my manager because he sucks at leading and argue two area managers about a decision to not put a TV out only to have a higher manager ask me why it’s not out yet two days later. The customers who walk into the store are, generally, pricks. No one knows how to be nice and appreciative for the work I do for them. I answer everyone’s questions (because the new staffers known nothing), break my back carrying heavy TV’s and stands, and run around trying to keep an eye on everyone to make sure they’re doing their job. All this and I’m only a freaking part timer. What the hell is going on? Thankfully, they’ve been hiring cute girls and, as long as they’re not too dumb, I won’t complain about them, although I wish they were in my department.
Regina is in chaos right now as Zeni finally stepped down. Timmy is a bigger moron than ever and I’m really afraid he’s going to force two really good people away: Joe and Lauren. Both work hard for that place and both get shit from Timmy, nonstop. They don’t have the fortune to have him fear them like he does me. I feel bad. I know they’re important to the future of the parish, but I don’t think other people realize it.
Speaking of Regina, I can’t wait to go back to teaching this week. This past week, the kids had off for some Jewish holiday (I know it, but can’t spell it and am too lazy to look it up) so we didn’t have CCD either. I actually missed it, to a degree. Teaching, somehow, always manages to center me and refocus me a bit and that’s something I sorely need. Of course, even with two weeks to do it, I’ll still be making my lesson plan on Tuesday night. That’s just how I work.
Yankees are down 2 - 1 in the ALDS. I’m panicing.
