"Captive Pursuit"
Hidey ho neglecterinos!
It's been a while, I know. 146 days to be exact.
So what, did I have nothing to say? No, just nothing worthwhile.
I grew sick and tired of posting naught but pictures, videos from youtube, and dribble like that. After almost five months, I finally feel as if I have some worthwhile things to say, which no one will probably ever read.
The great thing about that however, is I can write whatever I like, without fear of consequence. Even if no one ever reads anything I write, it feels so good just to put it out there.
So what has happened in my life since I last spoke to you all?
I've been assistant manager at F.Y.E. since July, so you probably already knew that. The job has not been very fun. I am seriously struggling to keep my sanity. I am currently trying to find new employment. The customer service there is deplorable. The customers get absolutely crapped on by my associates, and rarely receive satisfaction. I give into nearly 100% of customer requests, complaints, etc. This has others there viewing me as soft, and under minding their organization. I swear to God, some of them get their panties in a twist about the most trivial of matters. Oh, their work effort is to be admired. Do not get me wrong there. They just unfortunately have no clue as to what true customer service is. As for the company themselves; they suck. Transworld Entertainment will be out of business within five years, you can mark my words. The way they overprice their products is horrible. Their return policy is laughable at best. The pay grade they give to their employees is…wait, that is right in line with the rest of this countries companies; in the toilet. This is a company that believes it own hype, and that is that they are the King of the entertainment industry, and that no one can ever touch them. To show you how out of touch this place is with current trends, here is our dress code. Black slakes, grey company shirt, black shoes. Tucked in. Now, when people think of a music store, this is not what would come to mind. We should have a dress code that is more lenient. Something along the lines of Hot Topic (yes I dislike the store, but they know what their doing). We have to play a company issued DVD, that tells the consumer what music is hot so they can go out and purchase it. This usually consists of one rock song, two punk songs, two to three country songs, five rap songs, and three to four latino songs. Needless to say, when I am in charge, the DVD comes out, and my music goes in. We buy back cd’s and dvd’s from customers. We will pay them anywhere from one penny to about six dollars per item. We then turn around and sell it for anywhere from eight dollars to twenty-something dollars.
But enough about FYE. Its making me depressed having to think about it when I am not there and have the day off.
I will be speaking again soon. After all, it has been a long 146 days.
Coming soon: Alex gains freedom, and with it, immense depression.
