I am getting out of the BBY just in time. New policy! My position, along with media and merch, have to be in at SIX AM on Sunday-Wednesday morning. That means Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are spent rolling out of bed, saying, “Shit! Shit!” at 5:45 am. Also, debating whether I should [...]

Speaking of My Quarter Life Crisis…
I’m still waiting on the whole, floodgates-of-opportunity-bursting-open thing to happen. I don’t mean that to be as passive as it sounds. I’ve been working my hoo-hah off trying to get a job, and I only have about thirty days before I throw my hands up and contact a temp agency (which might be just as [...]
Spring Break 2K7: Will Flash Boobs for Food
The Best Buy debacle ironed itself out quite nicely with a nice talking-to from my general manager. [wha happon]? It was a big communication problem, apparently, so my freak out was somewhat appropriate with the information I had, but now that I know the story, I feel like a total drama queen. Which I am. [...]
Recent Happy Haps
It’s not that I’m not listening to what you’re actually saying.
It’s just that,
if whatever phrasing you use is remotely similar to song lyrics I know
[and I know quite a few],
there is this little mechanism in my brain that momentarily taps into that memory.
Perhaps this is why I would get much more out of life if it were [...]
This Entry WILL NOT Be Posted on Blue Shirt Nation.
Some time ago, BBY Corporate sent out an e-mail about blueshirtnation.com — a networking tool for Best Buy employees, like MySpace, or Facebook. “Like I really need another one of those,” I said. “Delete.” …Of course I signed up for it…especially upon learning that the mod for the site is in advertising up at corporate. [...]
Weak Sauce
Sometimes, I mentally play matchmaker with Old Friends (from 1983-2005) and New Friends (from 2005-Present). I was looking at my Old Friend Amber’s myspace page and discovered that her song was Ingrid Michaelson, who (if I remember correctly, as I was quite buzzed and was sure I’d forget) was the same random indie artist my New Friend Toby recommended [...]
A Blue and Yellow Lining?
On My Current Job Situation
This is my last night working at the radio station. I have outlasted ALL other board operators that were working here when I started a year and a half ago. If there is one thing that I will miss most, it will be Talking Music with the DJs, Todd in particular. [...]
“FINGERBANGIN’!”
I forgot to mention that I saw The Wreckers at Jake’s (formerly known as “The Tap,” formerly known as “Axis,” which I will always refer to as “Cracksis”) last Wednesday with Curtis and Toby.
It had been such a crappy day up until that point — what with my electricity being turned off and me cleaning [...]
This Time with Less Bitterness.
Now that I’ve cooled down a bit after the most recent Post of Hatred, let me explain myself.
I (along with Abbie) had been asked about a month ago to be one of the Hiring and Training Coordinators for the upcoming holiday hiring extravaganza. I went up to the district office in Indy for a day-long training [...]

Abbie’s latest post totally beat me to the punch – Best Buy as a bad boyfriend. (and I quote: “If Best Buy and I were in a relationship, I would have moved out and written dirty things about him in the bathroom stall at Nick’s.” Nicely put, friend.) I was thinking about this the other day [...]
Basically Just Senseless Bitching
I would have called in sick today, had I not been the only available person to close. [By myself. On a truck night. With 342342 other things to do in the department.] I’ve been getting struck with pangs of anxiety right before I leave for work, without warning or reason. I just can’t seem to [...]
does he come in very often?
There is a customer at Best Buy whom I call “The Farting Racist.”
Here is his story.
Ricky is assisting an older gentleman (he was 50, but 50 is like, ancient in a college town, like my God, how are you still STANDING), and they are discussing an album by Fort Minor. I strut over to give my [...]

The world has gone mad.
At least in Retail.
At least in Best Buy.
Sometimes — I swear to God — it’s like there’s a fucking Crazy Bus, and it lets off right in front of the store’s entrance, and there we are, left to deal with the crazies. i.e. Highlight of Today: Watching my manager, Laura, yelling at [...]

Is it sad that everyone is talking about the new Superman, but really, I want to see The Devil Wears Prada, because I am shamelessly drawn to anything with Anne Hathaway in it? (, I know you are with me on this)…
…Hump Day (my day off) cannot come fast enough. I have not been able [...]
Pouting and Shepherd’s Pie
Me and Julie ( iujulie) at our Manager Laura’s Product Process party. I drank marvelous sippers and stole an entire shepherd’s pie from her house. (Okay, she totally offered that we take a pie off her hands and I jumped into action, knowing that it could feed me for a couple days…although maybe if I left [...]
