i got yo boyfriend mad 'cause imma flirt

ok i am exceptionally vapid about some recent video game news, but becuase i am so animated about the subject matter i think it best saved for a vlog.

instead am going to talk a little bit about work. so i have only a scant seven weeks left at my current location before i am allowed to transfer. i could easily, at this point, go into a rant about why i am only allowed to transfer, and i basically have no rights when it comes to working, save the right to choose unemployment. i could, but i will not. in the next several weeks i am going to prepping the store's inventory for inspection. this means counting the most inane shit from here until september twentieth. all while dealing with the regular idiotic ebb and flow os customers. plus trying to avoid helping the people that best buy hires to work at best buy, but are too poorly trained to do the tasks required of them.

so after this whole inspection process is over, i am planning to go visit my family in indiana for, basically two reasons. i have not seen my family in quite a long time. it is also the same week my niece is having her second birthday. she is so grown up and sassy by now i am sure. at any rate, i have several reasons to be perceptively happy until then. the key is, can i maintain my sanity until then.

here is the main issue with position in the store. if i do not do the tasks that i am scheduled to do, then they just do not get done. i am a one man team, for as far as that is reasonable. so when i shove customers into the lap of someone else who is either not doing anything, or they are busy doing nothing. it is only partly because i am being a asshole, and quite honestly i do not feel like helping you. on the other hand, none of the computer gus are going to help out with any of my work. hell, i cannot even get them to clean and maintain product in their departments. so why is there a double standard for inventory? i mean we do not even have training geared toward any type of merchandise we carry in the store, but are expected to sell it to people. i am not exactly sure how this works, but since i do not readily give two shits about the northridge location. i have resolved to either contacting people to help customers, or avoiding areas with unattended customers whenever possible. the exception to this, of course, is the media department. usually becuase they are the most understaffed, and they are the least likely to receive any help even though they have the largest department. perhaps it is because they are not a department that is force feeding people big screen tvs. plus, the questions in media are often either price or location related, and therefore can often be solved within minutes. as opposed to other departments where you have to spends tons of time giving people information about an item. i really do not have that luxury of time, and i am sorry in advance to anyone that i do not help as a result.

people often wonder, "why popcopy?", and here at popcopy we say "fuck the customer! :D"
