So.
I’m going to be brutally honest — I haven’t been updating here because my current Life Story is so unbearably pitiful I can barely stand to live it, let alone write about it.
Also, if you use the internets but you don’t have the money to pay for it? They turn it off.
I am a mess.
And here’s why:

I approached two men today at work and asked them if they needed help.
One of the men had a scab around his lip.
I tried not to stare while I talked to him, and led both of them to the DVDs.
“It’s not herpes, if that’s what you’re thinking,”
said the scabby man’s friend.
I laughed nervously and the other guy said,
“Aw, [...]

Best Buy CEO Anderson Got $1.16 Million Salary For FY06
And I can’t pay my bills.
I call shanannigans!
I applied to Marketing FX in Chicago, and they want me to interview. I will probably head up there sometime late next week. It’s my curiosity that drives me more than anything else. I’ve always loved Chicago, but the [...]
I’m tellin’ ya! For the last time!
My supervisor at Best Buy, whom I adored, transferred to the Greenwood store before I left for vacation. With his position left open, it was assumed that I would apply for it. I did not. As a result, I have been bombarded with questions as to why I didn’t. It’s really hard to explain the answer, as it [...]
Me too
LOVE IS _________:
a) patient, love is kind…
b) never having to say you’re sorry
c) staying up all night with your boyfriend, Pukey McPukes-a-Lot
Best Buy announced Operation: Reorganization the other day, and a handful of employees at our lil’ Store 858 got fucked by The Man. One of those people? My boyfriend. Lacking the proper words to console him, I decided [...]
Pining for the moon…
**taps fingers idly on keyboard and stares blankly at screen**
What to discuss..what to discuss…
Oh. Ha. I got my hair cut at a new place in town called — wait for it — Beaux Tangles. Go and support local business, ladies and fellas. By “go” I mean 11th and Rogers and by “support” I mean only [...]
Karma Police
Kingdom Hearts II, for the PS2, came out today. Chances are, if you came in my work to purchase it, I mocked you. That’s right, Nerd. I fucking mocked you. I probably said something about how you will masturbate to the game characters in your parents’ basement, or perhaps I mimicked our conversation with a [...]

Every now and again at Best Buy, the District Staff will make the treacherous journey all the way from Indianapolis and grace us pee-ons with their presence. In preparation, store employees are encouraged to brush up on certain information about their department’s goals, intentions, etc…because eventually, a District Staff member will saunter up and expect [...]
Jenn, on a certain Retail Job
… I don’t understand how you can consider yourself a respectable human being and go into a retail store to purchase a wrestling video. How are you not embarrassed by that?
… My favorite customers at Best Buy are the ones that come in and simply say, “Recommend something new.” I usually ask them what CD they keep [...]

Things About Which I Am Embarrassed I
I am really, really excited about the new season of American Idol.
My Picks Thus Far…
Katherine McPhee, 21.
Because she’s talented, but mainly because she reminds me of myself.
Hello, narcissism? Speaking.
Ace Young, 25
Because ninety percent of the population would probably have his babies.
Mark my words, Ace will be in the final [...]
THE CORPORATION
Last week, my supervisor at Best Buy pulled me aside to let me know that he was getting promoted. I was really excited, not only for him, but for myself — understanding that his absence would leave a leadership position for which I could apply. He has been essentially grooming me to replace him from the get-go, [...]

It is 7 am and I am standing in the software aisle at Best Buy contemplating how to break it to my manager that I am, in fact, unfit to work this morning.
I have slept seven hours in the past three days. My last attempt was a nap between 5:30 and 6:30 this morning. [...]
…
It was 5:55 am.
“We’re out of cream cheese,” the young girl said behind the Starbucks drive-thru window. “..and that kind of puts a damper on the whole BAGEL situation.”
“Bitch, PLEASE!” I shouted. And then I put my car in park, jumped out of the window and slapped her. Twice.
Okay, I didn’t. I [...]

HEY! Have you ever been asked out by two random, creepy Best Buy regulars in two days? I have.
Guy 1: “I get rejected all the time. I DON’T DEAL WITH REJECTION WELL.”
Guy 2: “What’s your favorite pizza? Pepperoni and mushroom? How ironic, my favorite too.”
(”That’s NOT IRONY, that’s COINCIDENCE,” I shouted, as I punched. him. [...]

We had “Game Night” at Best Buy on last Sunday. Here’s a picture of the ladies who showed up (Melanie –the copper, Flo, me, Abbie):
By “Game Night,” I mean most employees played poker. I watched video game playing for a few hours. In sum, Game Night was Summer of 1999. That was the summer before I [...]
