August - Back To School! Hazaa!

Well, summer's nearly done ><

So what's new in the world? Let's sum it up:

Jesse proved to be a dud, and left me for my bestest bud. Oh well xD

I've been featured on G9's Audio Podcast #16. Check out his site at www.g9core.com. Thanks for the airtime!

I'm going to SAIT starting on the 28th and finally I got my booklists. On to the shopping heh.

So life goes on continually. But I feel it's time for...

RANT OF THE MONTH

Ok so this month's rant is of course on RETAIL STUPIDITY. I now work at the Source by Circuit City and every day 75% of my sales are to people that came to correct the error caused by salesmen over at Future Shop. I don't lie when I say they're lucky if they have a good sale price to convince customers to shop there. I mean, seriously, they're useless.

You know the world is sad when Future Shop refers customers to my store to buy a cable which might actually be cheaper at their store in the first place. They are based around the big sales, and will send away people if the purchase is really small. If you don't believe me, take a trip down to Future Shop, go to the biggest TV they have and say "I wonder if I should buy this?". Be prepared to get sandwiched in-between 16 salesmen trying to convince you to buy this TV. Next go to the cable section, not the monster cables, and say the same statement. You'll be lonelier than Saddam.

It takes pure stupidity for somebody to refer a customer to another store for a cable that could easily make some commission for them. I suppose I shouldn't complain as these men are helping me sell cables, digital cameras, power inverters, and the other little items that have the best commission ratios compared to TVs, computers, and other "big ticket" items. Thank you Future Shop for making my job so much easier.

Well I suppose I shouldn't rant too much, as life is overall awsome. I have learnt to appreciate life a lot more without relationships. I don't like the whole casual dating because I really am bad for falling too hard and missing heh. But simply life is really supposed to be taking care of yourself. I shouldn't get involved in relationships unless my life is stable. Relationships only destabilize me, therefore I shouldn't get involved until I'm ready.

Nevertheless, gotta get ready for the school season! Cheers!
