The dead have risen… again!
Well, like the title of this entry implies, I realized the other day that I have been silent far, far too long.
It’s been an interesting year, going on a trip to Brazil (Sao Paulo) for a company I REALLY enjoyed working for. Being laid off in May from said company I really enjoyed working for. The company was (and still is) in financial trouble, but quite frankly, I still miss (most of) the people I worked with, taught, mentored and befriended.
Took the summer off of work, doing basically nothing, looking for a new job/ career that I felt was challenging.
Well I decided to accept a Manager’s position at one of Canada’s largest Retail stores in a profession I left about 10 years ago to go into computers. Weird how things happen huh?
I left that industry because I felt it was a dead end career, go to school, get my degrees, go into the field I trained in, leave and return to the original career path. In some ways I feel I made a bad move, but in most ways I feel I made the right decision for ME. It’s been far too long since I felt really challenged, and now I feel that challenge again…. and the same frustrations most of us feel when we feel impeded from reaching our goals.
While I now am feeling these same frustrations again, I’m reliving a lot of the old frustrations I felt before while working in retail.
The pure and utter stupidity of people in general is absolutley fucking amazing.
This website will now shift from its old ranting and raving about the pure stupidity and
up and coming idiots (in-training) in the computer and internet support… to the daily operation and encounters of the AUTOMOTIVE PARTS Department at a local ummm Tire store in Calgary, Alberta Canada.
So cheers all… I’mmmmmm baaaaaacccck!
