Life On A Chain
You Were Meant For Me

Feb 7, 2006

The Ways of Slaveway

I was doing well there for awhile, wasn't I? But now I'm back to posting once or twice a week and feeling guilty because I never have anything of interest to say.

I have been training in the store for the video department, and it's a lot to learn. In addition to renting movies, checking them in, and putting them back out on the shelves, the video/customer service department also answers and directs phone calls for the entire store, coordinates photo developing services, prints, checks, and redeems lottery tickets, houses the cigarette case, rents out the Rug Doctors, processes Western Union transactions, cashes payroll and government checks, distributes Safeway paychecks every Friday, helps combat the manufacture of methamphetamines, and has to know how to answer every stupid question that a customer might want answered. Oh, and sometimes we have to assist in the floral department if someone wants balloons after the store's florist goes home for the day. Like I said, it's a lot to learn. I've had a total of 12 hours of training (which didn't even touch on Western Union), and one of the video employees had to take her daughter to the hospital so I get to give it a go by myself tonight. It's only five hours; what's the worst that could happen??

I thought that after my video training was complete I would be trained as a cashier, so I've been studying produce codes like crazy. I wrote out little index cards to practice with, and I've been trying to learn 13 different codes every day I'm at work. So far I have 3 cards done. Only 5 to go. Anyway, management decided to skip the checker training and bump me straight up to office training. I start that on Friday, and I have to say that I'm nervous. It's a lot of responsibility and I don't want to screw it up.

Oh, and after waiting 9 months (yes, I've already worked there for 9 months), the manager finally told me that I would need to not wear my nose ring when I'm working in the store. It took long enough, eh?

The next three movies I will be watching, courtesy of Netflix:

1: Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
2: Real Women Have Curves
3: Suicide Girls: The First Tour
