More stopped up plumbing

Once again the plumbing is stopped up. I called Mike but it was a Friday and he was not able to get hold of the owner and so all weekend I have had to wake up and go down to the clubhouse to have bowel movement. What fun. Now the whole area knows my routine....Got to get ready to go to work ....

Leaving Radio Shack

Sun, 11 May 2008 12:47:22 GMT

Most of my whole life has been in and out of electronics. I really liked Radio Shack. I was a customer of Radio Shack as a customer way back when I was 13 years old, 50 years ago. I enjoy dealing with the customers of all ages coming in and solving their problems. But, somewhere, the Shack has lost touch with their customers and their employees. No longer do they care about either one of them. I met my district manager and the only thing he wanted from me was to get some training thing done by the end of the day. There was no mention of transfer. I was so intimated, that I did not mention my transfer either. Therefore, I am left with no option than to quit Radio Shack and look for another job closer to home since the gas prices are now $4.00 a gallon. I can no longer afford to work in a place that I enjoy and use the skills that I have had most of my life.

Radio Shack also only cares whether one sells cell phones. They do not want prepaid but the ones with a contract. Once again, they don't care about the customer, but are looking for revenue coming in. It is difficult for me to work in an environment that is against my principles. Principles before personalities.

Time to start packing and throwing stuff out

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NIV)
¹There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
²a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
³a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
⁴a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
⁵a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
⁶a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,
⁷a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
⁸a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

***********

This is my season to begin tearing down all the things in my room and throwing out all the things I don't need. I will have to do it right away or I will procrastinate as usual. It also a time for me to be silent at work. I will no longer say anything to Ray anymore. Ray will not realize how little I am talking to him because I will just be busy. I will be polite to him. No more coffee's.
