I have no idea why I am thinking having the main picture (above) posted again would somehow be a cool idea. Then again, today has been a day of unusual happenings and the like.As the title may (or may not) imply, today was one of those days where my mind was just lost. Gone. Yes, this is work related, which has been my plight these past many days.
Which ties into the color changes and stuff around here. Does it look a little chaotic (the main picture)? It certainly explains my mood today quite perfectly, probably better then any words I could ever muster up.
So here we go with what will likely end up being a rather weak rant, if you can even call this such. Still, I will go off and babble about a topic that will likely be of no source of major interest. But I will not stop, not until I have let loose my bitching onto the internet! Yes! Yes! Now that is a plot worth laughing an evil laugh over!
Ha!
Anyway, to be serious for a few moments here, maybe it is the fact that it feels like I am expected to pick up the work of what should probably be separated among 2-3 people that is getting to me. Did I ever mention that the department that I work in consists of mainly myself? My boss doesn't show up usually until after I am done and headed home, which isn't any help with the amount of crap that he tends to order. The other guy I work with is only a part timer, which amounts to about 3-4 hours a day. Such a huge help that is, yes I know. As for myself, well I am the only full time worker in my department.
I've been trying my best to be a team player, but for the sake of god... it is very much a moral killer when I have to watch as all the other departments in the store gets help and my own boss doesn't even bother to show up when his help could be of most use.
So pretty much I feel like I am the sucker in all of this, which clearly is the signal that it is time to find a new job or risk going insane. I mean even my temper (sort of) flared out of control and there were some causalities amid my rage (my deepest condolences to the 5 containers of Oatmeal. You will be forever remembered by all). That can't be a good thing, I mean I have never had this problem at work before and now I just feel so sick and fed up with the whole thing that it makes me sick. I think I am slowly slipping towards insanity...
Personally, while insanity sounds like an ideal situation at times, I think I like having my mind in working order. I mean just how could a crazy person play video games? OK, maybe smacking my forehead onto the controller could be entertaining...
Wait, no! No, that is just flat out wrong... not to mention games like Dynasty Warriors would totally cause more brain damage then it was intended to do as it is. Button mashers have never looked quite as dangerous as they are to me right now.
I do feel better to just write some of this down and out here, I mean this (writing) seems to be my greatest release of stress.
So anyway folks, if you've happened upon my humble little blog and you do live in the general Honolulu area and you somehow shop at Marukai Ward... do drop in and look for the guy pushing a cart that has a look on his face that can only be described as "someone just kicked my puppy." Or maybe it is more like "What in the bloodiest of hells am I still working at this s*it hole!??"
Ah, yes. Ladies and gents, we have ourselves a winner there...! And it seems that wasn't really a rant after all. I don't even know what this thing can be called, other then a blog entry or maybe something else. I can't think. Anyhoot, that is my time for today, tonight and for now of course as I don't have the will to continue to bitch over work. It is killing what little of a good mood that I have recollected. Oh! One more story!
To make matters of today all that much more better, my girlfriend and I went food shopping today. Fun and exciting huh? Well wait, there is more to this then it might seem! Well since we tend to get stuff like chicken and large amounts of soda (brain juice as I like to think of it as), we catch a taxi to take us and our crap home.
Well we got ourselves the bugger that was in dire need of money apparently! Because that bastard of a Chinese man drove us right into traffic and proceeded to run up a tab of about $19. We usually spend about $12-$15. The jerk even had the nerve to get pissy when we tried to tell him where to drop us off! Ah hell, I was about ready to layeth the smackdown on his fry rice making ass (wrestling catchphrase stolen!)!
And now that makes this little writing a real rant! Yes! Another life goal accomplished! And now onward to Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, where I will begin my long and arduous training towards face-to-controller combat mastery. Immortality will be mine! Galactic wars beware, for my face will one day rule all!
Ha, ha, HA! (I've lost my mind and maybe my marbles...? Wait, where are my marbles.....)

Hmm... There was a Career Builder job fair at the Blaisdell Center yesterday. I have no idea if it was just for one day, though. It definitely sounds like a new job would be ideal.
Ward Marukai, huh? You know, I buy lunch from there once or twice a week. I ate at Jack in the Box today, so that's how I know about the job fair. There were TONS of people getting food with little plastic bags that said "Career Builder." It was actually kind of funny to me that these people were supposedly interested in finding new jobs. For the most part, they weren't dressed for job hunting. Probably were forced to go by their parents or something...lol.
Seriously, though, if you've been at your current job for a decent amount of time and you're good at what you do, you may want to consider finding a similar position at a different company. Or just try something new altogether. Take my advice on one thing, though... Whatever you do, DO NOT WORK for GameStop. I worked there for two years and although I miss the games, the corporate BS you have to deal with is worse than ANYTHING I've ever experienced... ><
I read about the job fair yesterday and heard about it from a number of people, but I was stuck at work during the time it was going. :/
Oh so you shop at Marukai huh? The store recently got a new boss/chef guy for the kitchen department. Haven't tried their food since, so I can't say if there is any actual differences.
Hey if you're in the area again, drop by and say hi. lol. I'm usually there everyday except Thursdays and Saturdays. I'd say I'd hook you up with some discounts and stuff, but we don't get jack. But we do get free uniforms! Ugh...
What sucks about my current place of employment is the fact that most of the people I became friends with have all quit. Hell, even our store manager quit after barely a month in.
Maybe that should have been a sign huh?
Oops, almost fell back into rant mode there. Still, as bad as I am thinking things are now, this place sure as hell beats having to work at McDonalds. I think my IQ dropped during that time...
Wow, GameStop is that bad? I always wanted to work there just to be able to get a lot of the new games first hand. But with that kind of bs.... thanks, I think you've saved me a ton of future headaches.
