Disco Shawn will talk over the Track of Badness and indicate to you, the listener, that yes this Paul Van Dyke track SUCKS! And he will then STOP the track and play something better.

Thank you Disco Shawn.

I am listening to Electronica with a COWBELL right now! And I love it. Especially that the cow bell is subtle enough to not ruin the track. But prescient enough that I can *hear* it.

I am horrified beyond language in any form.

I didn't protest that "war" over there. I didn't march to impeach bush. But, I may be calling in sick on September 7th to attend the National Day of Emergency Action in San Francisco.

theantimodel gives us some vid clips with Reporters Doing Their JOBS! Sticking it to the Man and not taking any of his crap!

I am now offically employed. Passed drug test and background check.

I... I like my coworkers. I think I might really like the job. I am the newest member of Best Buy's Geek Squad. I'm not a regular technician Geek though. I won't be going out to your house and you won't often find me behind that scary repair counter with the techs Geeks. I'm going to be the Geek in the computer sales department I'll do installs and help with sales for business and complicated set-ups. Oh and I get to Talk Shop ALL DAY!!!

Have no phear! I will be posting pictures of me in that smashing dreadful polyester I'll be hunting down cotton shirts uniform as soon as I have it. It'll be a couple weeks. So's I don't get mistaken as an employee who actually knows anything they train new people in regular clothes. Although, I did get to install RAM on two laptops today. *GLEE*

I am gainfully employed!!! Bestbuy is even giving me the pay rate I asked for! Plus TWO different managers squee'd when they saw me filling out paperwork! TWO!

I was interviewed in this general office/converence room place. Lots of people going in and out. Randy the GM showed Tess (computer dept. supervisor) my business card, she did not contain her excitment. I was 20 minutes into a 2 hour interview and she was all, "I look forward to working with you!" *akward moment*

Allen (the manager I chased across the store on Monday to make sure he knew I *really* wanted to work there) came in right after I'd signed the paper work, eyes all lit and eyebrows shooting up into his forehead. He shoot's Randy an expectant look.

Randy: "I just made her an offer."
Allen hits the floor and does a very good impression of the Tom Cruise Fist Pump and says, "YES!"

Shortly after that the very very nice sales man, Ron (who helped me a few weeks ago pick out a new router for like 45 mintutes, letting the store close all around us and didn't rush me at all) also came in and was all,

Ron: "Hi." *polite head nod*
*double take, recognition*
Ron: "Oh hey! What are you doing here?"
GMRandy: "I've just made her an offer to come work for us."
Ron: "That's great!"
Ron to Allen: "She's the woman I told you about."
Ron too the room: "You all know I'm the wireless man, right? I know everything. But when she was here buying a new router she told me things I didn't even know. She's awsome!"

If this is corporate mafia, it's nice to be part of The Family. *g*

I think I shall call her Nikki. She's ballsy, spunky and cute. Sounds like a Nikki, yes? Well good. My middle name happens to be Nicole. I now understand why. *g* I have a gift. That gift is being able to get any job I persue. I have yet to fail. Keeping the job is another story entirely...

I'm interviewing with the General Manager at Bestbuy tomorrow for a technical position. It's the *final* interview. Pam, the manager I met with today adored me. This pleases Nikki muchly. All is going according to plan. Though it is unfortunate that I will be working for corporate mafia once again. Pam informed me that to please the GM (General Manager) I need to let him know just how willing I am to snitch on report fellow employees who steal anything - even a pack of gum. *takes deep breath* Smell that corruption! This week gum! Next Week a big screen TV!!! Oh NOOOO!!!!

Not that I condone stealing from one's work place. And it's not that I blame them - they higher High School kids after all. It's just that when I told my Dad about the gum he said, "I give it six weeks." I thought he was being a bit too optimistic. Did he mean six weeks until I have to give notice because I'm nauseated by the corporate mafia environment? Or did he mean six weeks before I begin to feel the effects of working for the corporate mafia? I'll know more after meeting with the GM tomorrow.

You might be wondering what the hell corporate mafia is. I don't know really. Well I don't know if there's any sort of official or commonly used definition. Dad and I consider those situations where upper management is perpetually suspicious of people they should be trusting to be mafia style behavior. I'm a trusting type. I don't usually last long in jobs where my superiors are suspicious of me for no reason beyond their own paranoia.

So, The Plan is to gain employment now and spend the next... however long it takes harassing persuading Verizon Wireless to hire me. Dad and I surmise they may not be corporate mafia. That level of paranoia and focus on performance at the cost of service is not present - at least not at the two stores I've visited. Even though Verizon Wireless is a greedy capitalist corporation, it doesn't feel that way when I'm in there.

And besides... Verizon Wireless doesn't even sell gum. *g*
