Screwed

I’m not, for now at least, going to be able to move to merch at work. The general manager is focusing on Home Theater and does not want to lose me during this crap. The inventory manager told me to sit tight and be patient, but I’m so pissed off right now. Why am I [...]

I Am Arrogant

I Am Arrogant (6/28/06)
It seems that Mr. Ghostman has a problem with my confidence
He called me “trifle idiot” and thought that would be stopping it
But I simply won’t be dropping it cause this is who I tend to be
You have to know you’re better if you wish to win successfully
So everything you said to me [...]

Looking Good

So it looks like my pessimism was a little over done. I got in to work today and instantly started asking the people from Merch/Inventory whether or not my move back there was going to happen. They both agreed that I needed to talk to a sales managers because, simply put, they might not want [...]

No Poems Yet

Yeah, no poems yet, so you’re stuck.
I’ve actually come across a tough problem when it comes to my rhyming. My bets material has been coming to me when I can’t get a chance to write it down and flesh it out. I’ve had some amazing excerpts come to me while walking to work, at work, [...]

No Respect

I feel like Rodney Dangerfield. No respect, I tell you.
Anyways, work pushed me over the line the other day. Due to crazy circumstances, I wound up working the morning by myself. I did pretty well, too. What bugs me about that is the fact that I am the most reliable sales person and yet I’m [...]

Real Life Spam

Today, I received my Capital One credit card statement. The bill itself was nothing surprising, but the included “extras” just ticked me off. As someone who spends a lot of time with computers, I know the constant battle between computer users and spammers. We bust our asses to stop receiving useless advertisements. I guess we [...]

Rock and Hard Place

Rock and Hard Place (6/16/2006)
It’s hard to admit to myself that I may have been wrong
I get along but the pain has gone on for so long
I tried changing my song to make everything perfect
But I lost track of the reason and lost sight of the purpose
Cause in this circus of life where everything is [...]
