This is where I bitch.

I put my notice in at Best Buy. Between my raise at the mall, my potential raise at Omnipress and Paul expecting to get a raise soon as well, we don't think I have to have 3 jobs anymore. I didn't give them quite two weeks, since Easter weekend I'm planning to go up north to see my family, finally.

I got a decent amount of people saying they will miss me at Best Buy, which is always nice. But I'm just not cut out to be a sales person.

Will have to make at least one more shopping trip to use my discount on things this week.

Today will be busy, as my co-worker is getting married, and thus I'm covering for her.

Paul went into the ditch yesterday on the way to Whitewater. The roads were horrible and there was no fault of his on it. When he called me his car wouldn't start either. So I looked up a local tow truck for him to call and then headed over there. Took twice as long to drive there as it should have. Then I hung around in Whitewater making sure his car was in good enough shape to get home. Spent most of my time in the UW library.

Today was thus catch up on emails, but I really didn't have that many.

More freelancing opportunities on the way as well. More on that as things get finalized.

Seems like everyone at Best Buy is jumping ship, so I'm not sure if my hours will go down like I'd hoped. Kinda burning out with the three jobs.

Paul interviewed at Mallats for an accountant position and got it. Which is awesome. They are just starting the accounting department up, so he gets to be in on the ground floor, set things up like they should and has the potential for tons of advancement. Plus he will have a job in his field on his resume.

It was a long weekend, I'm quiet happy to be back in the office sitting down.

On Thanksgiving we picked up the UHaul truck and with Ben's help got all of the furniture we think we want to keep over to the apartment. Took us one trip, about 2.5 hours, which was nice. Then Paul and I unpacked and organized, until we went over to exairian's for TDay dinner. Trevor's parents were over also, and it was a really nice dinner and time.

Black Friday was crazy. I didn't have to start until 9am, which was nice to get to skip the crazies. But it was a 12 hour day and pretty disorganized. I also didn't have to help restock, another plus.

Saturday was actually worse, because I was so tired from Friday, and still had a 9 hour shift. The food Best Buy had catered in was great though. After work we went over to Blythe and Trevor's again, this time for drinking with Wendy and Drew, who are up for a bit. Nice to see them, but I over did it on the gin.

Sunday was rough, as I'm pretty sure I was still drunk when I got into work. And that moved over to a hangover. Also they had me at the front of the store for a while being a greater. Not the best of situations. I spent most of the day as a dedicated cashier in our department, which isn't bad, really.

This week looks a bit busier at Omnipress, and I'm hoping that I can get over to the house and clean, as it is not in any shape to be shown to buyers.

Next weekend is the Omnipress holiday party, which sounds great. I'm hoping Best Buy doesn't change their mind about letting me out early enough to go to it.

The weekend was long. Had a big company meeting on Saturday. I've never worked at a place where we have a "fire up the employees" meeting like that. It was interesting. Then I worked a lot. And on Sunday we were so busy that they just let me loose on the sales floor. It was a little crazy, and seemed a bit fast. But everyone I talked to (managers and such) said that I was doing a good job. Lots of training yet, but I've already been given my blue shirt. Which sounds like a big deal. So that is cool. I sold a decent amount of stuff, but not as much as I felt I should have. Seems like most people were out looking and planning for Black Friday.

The rumors are also that a decent amount of seasonal employees get jobs after, and I've heard that departments are already fighting over me. Which feels good.

But boy do my feet hurt. And after getting done my mind is just buzzing with all of the personal interaction.

More working this week. I'll have Thanksgiving off and then Christmas, but otherwise I expect to work every day until mid January. And it looks like I can keep some hours at the mall, which is good.

Had first day of on the floor training at Best Buy. Was a bit disorganized, but we are just ramping up for the holiday season, so I guess that is probably normal. I basically just walked around behind sales people and listened to them interact with customers. Which is OK, I guess. I don't think I'll have any problems doing the "introduce yourself and get to the root of their need" part. Just need to brush up on the correct questions. But I'm a bit worried about learning about all of the products to help them find the right thing. I'm hoping for some targeted training on the products.

Mall tonight, and then Best Buy tomorrow night and Saturday. It's going to be important to keep my calendar up to date I think.

This week looks to be slow again. I'll probably hire myself out to other departments again. Sunday was pretty productive. I got a lot of house chores done and picked up some things needed for the new job at Best Buy.

We ended up using my birthday gift certificate and went to The Tornado room to celebrate Paul's last day at Walgreens.

Tomorrow is gonna be busy with trying to work as much as I can, vote and still make the employee intro at Best Buy.

And my back really hurts from dealing with the leaves in our yard. I will not miss that.

The future is kinda scary right now, with all of the potential changes. Also, with working more at Best Buy, Paul and I won't be seeing each other nearly as much.

I am hurting from last night. exairian threw a Halloween party. It was fun. Paul and I dressed up as Codex and Zaboo from The Guild. It was great seeing people. And I got to meet a bunch of her Best Buy work friends.

Which leads me to Best Buy hired me yesterday for seasonal work. I'll be working in tablets and laptops selling. I had assumed seasonal work was all about check out and stocking, and they'd use their normal sales floor team. But I guess I'm wrong. I have to do the drug text next week, then I start training.

We will see how much they need me to work, and then I'll figure out what I'll do with the mall job.

Tonight we are supposed to go to the Inferno. Which will be fun, but we got home at 3am, and I'm hung over and tired. After my shift at the mall I'll probably nap, and then we'll see if I feel up to going out again. I might be getting too old for this.
