So, first day of work. It went pretty well. I started my three-week training period, which is probably going to suck a lot. Maybe not so much though. The first three hours sucked though. I had to go through all of this company mission statement bullshit, which pretty much involves reading on the computer about how we have to treat the customer superbly, not call them idiots, create a WOW environment in the store, all sorts of junk like that. Thank you for explaining in great detail what makes us all different. I promise not to sexually harass anyone. God, so much red tape. It was complete busy work.

Towards the end of my shift I actually got to start working on learning about the actual products, which was cool. I’d read all of the information on something and then go upstairs to look at it in person and get the whole experience with them. That was really cool. They really do make some superior stuff at Bose. Pricey as hell, but top of the line. Hopefully the coming weeks will be more product oriented and less bullshit oriented, or I might kill myself. Thankfully I’m only there for five and a half hours. The day goes by pretty fast, although I do spend a good deal of it driving. Gas is going to kill me, since I am working only 25 hours a week. Luckily though I think those 25 hours are going to be lumped into three days, saving me the most gas possible.

The people are really cool though. I think I’ve met all of them now. Rachel is the store manager, and Jesse and Adam were working today, so I got a chance to talk a little bit with them. Everyone is extremely nice, and everyone seems to be a video and/or audio freak. A lot of music fans. I get the feeling though that I’m going to be the movie man, which is pretty cool. At least I got something in common with these people, which is going to make working there at Bose pretty fun. Jesse actually reminds me a lot of Woodard, as they have the same sort of face, voice, hair and both are smokers. Not as heavy, and no word yet if he wears only wife beaters and bowling shirts outside of work, and has a perchance to play video games into the wee hours of the night.

Oh, and Average Joe Hawaii is the shit. I fucking love this show. It has some of the best reality show twists ever. And it even looks like the Joe might win! (Last Joe Adam was obviously superior than the dumb pretty boy, but deep in the pit of your stomach you knew Marissa was too stupid to pick him). Can’t wait until next week!
