Well, here's some good news...

I'm walking again.

*Voltron* · 12-15-2008, 08:55 PM

You know, I was just going to ask you that! Good show, ol' chap!

I figured my promotion would make me happier, but it hasn't. I still have to deal with the same moronic customers and the same oblivious co-workers.

Customers: We have a young couple that are on again off again who rented (sooo past tense) from us. Last time they hit a rough patch, the gal held the DVDs hostage. This all happened under the former video manager and now I have to deal with this crap. They came in today, and asked about how much they still owed. I figured it up, and proceeded to process the video log part of the transaction, before actually putting it in the register. He walks away, I said under my breath (1st mistake) "Where's he going?" I then asked if she was paying for it, and she said they weren't paying for it today. I threw my hands up. (2nd mistake, but he always does this to me...you'd think I'd ask by now.) She didn't like my tone...we got into a mild shouting match, (bigger) managers were called it was a small mess. Gah I hate those people!

Co-workers: After this I get ready for lunch, but a customer asked my help and I obliged. While I was there, one of my co-workers called me and said I could go to lunch. I told her I was busy now, expecting her to come and relieve me for lunch. It's true what they say about assuming making an ass out of u and me. I finally call someone to help, since the transaction the lady needed help with was complicated, and the line was backing up. The girl who so graciously said I could go to lunch came to my aid, helped some customers, then proceeded to wander around the customer service counter like she was lost. Finally I flat out demanded she take over for me...and I ran. Feel kinda bad about that, but after all of this I needed to get the heck out.

So there's my trivial rantings. Please fill free to overlook them for much more important things...I just needed to get this off my chest and typing it out is oddly cathartic.

Aren't you in seminary? I thought you were a minister!

And if you think that's bad, try being told that you aren't good enough to teach in this neighborhood:

That's what I was told today.

That's great news, Ben!

And Voltron, it's probably because you're white. I mean, I'm just saying...you probably know this already.

**Jester** · 12-15-2008, 09:24 PM

Yea, Benny!

Nope, Volt. I graduated from a 4 year college with my Bachelors of Science in Bible with a minor in Youth Ministry. Seminary would be Masters Level work for me, and I think I'm done with school, for now anyway.

I kinda wish I was using my degree, and I did for a summer, but I'm not sure it's what I wanna do any more. Oh well...

Yeah, that does suck. I wish you the best of luck finding something.

Dude I am so happy for you right now! I'm really glad to hear you're doing better!

*XERO* · 12-15-2008, 10:07 PM

Yeah, thanks.

I figure with all the bad things currently going on with the other members, I didn't want you guys to log out with a bad taste in your mouths.

I've been that way for months now, and I'm just starting now to enjoy my life a little again. In fact, the past 2 weekends, I went to my best friend's apartment, and he lives up THREE FLIGHTS OF STAIRS. I pwned them all, and had a friggin' blast.

I'm just glad that I didn't lose myself in the process. I ask you guys here not to either.

**Jester** · 12-15-2008, 10:15 PM

Good to hear it Benny. I'm glad you're getting a bit better, and still pwning all at games.

And don't worry about me, Lou. I try not to bring my work home...save the occasional movie to view.

Woah woah... Hold the phone... Science in Bible? Isn't that like an oxymoron?

And awesome to hear you're walking, Ben. You're the man now, dog!

That IS good news, man. You'll be 100% before you know it.

*XERO* · 12-16-2008, 10:16 PM

Thanks again.

I keep going for you guys, because you all have been there for me like I hope I've been there for you.

**GK Punk** · 12-16-2008, 11:19 PM

He's saying he got his Bachelor of Science degree in the Bible. Not he took a course on Scince in the bible.

*Voltron* · 12-17-2008, 10:28 PM

I have my Masters in Bible math.

I had to clean up a few off-topic posts in here. Please keep in mind that it is not acceptable to mock or bash anyone's religion or other personal beliefs on these forums.

*gobo* · 12-18-2008, 02:10 AM

Was that a random clean-up or did someone complain? Either way, please accept my "oops" for my part in the mess.
