The Shitty (Pardon my Language)

So, the vulgar title is only to match the name of my current place of work, "The City" or Circuit City. The reason I would call it something like that is simply because it has become that. Working there is now a nightmare. Supervisors have lost their teeth and keys, even managers have little to no power. Our store director is missing for the most part, and the liquidation manager is to busy taking picture and promoting our 'carnival like' atmosphere. I bet he's the clown the last week. Over all the place has gone down hill, the associates help when they feel the need to, or when they have nothing else to do. Customers who are usually waited on hand and foot are now insulted for being so demanding. Only managers have keys, so if you want an Ipod then get ready to wait for a while as our managers are currently in the back doing jack shit, but lucky for you one of our supervisors will try to get the keys from them... it'll only take a while

Good Night CCity


Today Circuit City said they are selling the business. We have two possible buy outs going on that need to be solved before the 13th or the company will go up for bidding ending the 16th. If we are not purchased by the 16th we will go into 'liquidation' meaning that if not solved by the 16th all techs are laid off....

That's Jayson, Josh, Josh, Steve, Seth, Robert, and all of the Home Entertainment Techs... and me. The Circuit City Techs that make life easier for so many local Medford people. Gone.

It is possible we will get purchased as a whole, and not restructured too much and I might have a job for a while longer.

I sure hope so, getting layed off a few days after my birthday would be a drag

Trillian Astra


Now to break all this talk of lay offs and doom with some tech joy!
Trillian Astra! I finally got a beta copy!
I have to say it is one awesome chat client, it looks nice, runs smooth, supports every IM system I could ever want, has fun widgets... It's excellent.

When it is released I'd recommend checking it out!
