Updates


Well It's been a while since I've posted any sort of update or anything so here's what's been going on.

I got canned at Circuit City, my first job, last Sunday. So now I get to work the unemployment lines. Honestly it is one of the most depressing things that has ever happened. Not because I need the money, don't get me wrong, I do have bills and other expenses so no job is worrying in that sense. But he biggest thing is the people I'm loosing.

As I've mentioned I was a PC Tech. The way Firedog works at Circuit City is that we operated in a small team. At any given time there was 3-5 of us, and for months I worked with just one other guy. Ironically we where born and grew up in the same areas. Hell there where a few days years ago we where no more than a mile away before we even met in medford years later. Ironic huh?

I befriended and was promoted by a manager who was a thief and was fired, and two supervisors who should have ran the place from the get-go.

I trained over 15 people in the time I worked there. 3 Technicians, and many sales associates. Learning a little bit from each of them, and learning about myself and how to teach every month.

I strengthened a relationship with a person who I hope I can hold on to forever. Without this job I may have lost that all important excuse to chat with her without anyone knowing.


Going back to just a student at a school in single file rows with no real contact with anyone for no real reason is almost unbearable

Associate Going Away Party


Devon Mackabee, one of our supervisors is leaving for the military, so naturally we threw a going away party. The party ended up being a going away party for all of us because it's so close to the end. All and all it was a fun party and it was nice for everyone to hang out without worrying about work
