A New Transfer, A New Job
May 14th, 2008 by Bobosan
Life seems so damn dull right now.
I got moved to another store at work. The people there just run rampart and there’s no managerial control there. Paul, the RGM, used to be an assistant at Wannamaker, but he took over North when we had to fire Derrick. If there’s only a failure of his, it’s the fact he’s non-confrontational, and won’t stand up to people. I had a driver Sunday just walk out without doing his prep. Paul would have done nothing to him — however I wrote him up. It will do little good though, I’m not here long enough to make changes, and it’s ultimately Paul’s store. It’s just so frustrating to go from a trained crew, to savages. I have just over two weeks until I quit and start my job with the state, but every damn day will be hell until then. I can’t stand having to do everything at a store.
As I mentioned earlier, I got a new job with the state. My title is actually “Engineering Technician Associate” and basically I’ll be doing lab work on concrete and steel re-bar 60% of the time, and the other 40% will be on construction site, making sure the materials are of the required quality. It’s entry level, and a one-year probationary position, but they’ll train me, and I think it will be an interesting job. I’m really looking forward to starting it on June 2nd. So far, the people I’ve met there have been ideal for coworkers, and I think I will not only have fun there, but also learn quite a few things.
There seems to never be enough time in the world to post anymore. It’s something I wish I had more time to do, but everyday when I get off from work, I just want to zone out in WOW for awhile. I probably have the most fun on there doing auctions, buying for low, selling for cheap—amassing a never ending horde of gold. I probably play my banker alt three times more than I do my mage, but I have fun regardless.
