Work Sucks. So What Else Is New?

     Second week of the new job. Betcha didn't know I had a new job, did you? Being awesome doesn't mean that you don't have to work. So thoughts on my new job...it kind of sucks. I mean, it's a retail job, but one of the highest-end retail stores out there. We sell a lot of electronics and new technology. I landed a job in the Home Theater department, of all places at a sales consultant. Unfortunately, I don't know very much about Home Theater at all. So far, training has been very minimal. I did a lot of computer training that teaches you the theory of certain things, but theory only goes so far. Now I'm on the floor shadowing somebody. It's the same guy every night this week, and I gotta tell you, this guys has some problems. He has some serious anger issues. He acts like his life is just one big ball of misery. When one of the managers brought me to him my first day and told him I was going to be shadowing him, he rolled his eyes and looked pissed off, like it was the biggest inconvenience in the world to have me following him. I have a really hard time being around people like that. He gets angry really easily, curses under his breath a lot, mumbles, walks off and leaves me places, and gives me little to no information or advice that would help me work in a department that I am relatively clueless about. So training = screwed, and I have to fend for myself. Believe me, he's not the only person who acts like a dick there either. Overall, the whole experience has made me just want to walk out the door and find something better. I can't do that though. I have to have a place by the end of the summer and I need a stable income. Otherwise, I've heard pretty good things about the employees there before I worked there, but now I'm just like....wow. I definitely deserve better than that. I'm not stupid, however, if I'm not trained properly, I'm not going to be an asset at all. So basically, that's what's been going on with me lately. I know nobody reads these, but it feels good to write them. It's good therapy.
