So what’s new you ask. Took a promotion at work. I’m now part of the Business Sales team. No one really knows for sure if its a promotion or not because most of the Business team doesn’t seem happy with their sales, but who knows. Overall I see myself needing to move on from CompUSA more and more all the time. Not because I don’t like the work, but more because it just doesn’t have any room for me to move up in the company (without moving to Dallas). So we’ll see, I’ve turned down multiple offers from Verizon and still quite happy I’m not in the cell phone biz.

Dating a girl finally, her name is Stephanie. To those of you that have known me for a long time probably remember a Stephanie that I dated about 6 years ago, yes its the same one. Quite a few of the same quirky things occur between us. Still the same problem that I can’t read her at all. The nice thing is that I enjoy being around her, and I THINK she enjoys my company.

Concerts, well I haven’t made it to much of anything lately. I did get to see Minus the Bear last Tuesday with Dana, Emily, and her guy friend. Thank you Courtney for introducing me to this band. Great show, great music, I’m happy. Next up is Chevelle here in a couple of weeks, they’ll have a lot to live upto.

Thats about all that is going on around here for now, I’ll try to do more timely updates (key word TRY).

We take ownership on Thursday of next week so i’ll have to take Friday off and go fishing i do believe.

Ohh, and on a sports note, Michael Vick, you are an idiot and I hope you lose your lackluster career.

Aside from those tidbits the sport’s scene is somewhat in its yearly down swing. It is off season for the sports I truly love. Nascar and watching some Baseball tonight is about the only sports fix I’ll have until NFL gets going in September (and no pre-season doesn’t count). I have found the sports talk radio station for the Tulsa area, unfortunately it is Sport’s Animal out of OKC so its screwed to that side of the state a bit much at times. These guys are not of the quality of 810 up in KC but its better than nothing so check them out at 97.1 here in the Tulsa area.

Aside from sports I have started working finally. CompUSA wooo! So far its been pretty fun. I am listed as an SMB, which basically means I try to generate small business sales for the business department while I am on the sales floor. Really it means I’m the better dressed sales guy on the retail floor, so look for me in the dress shirt and name tag versus the red bowling shirt and name tag. With the better look comes better hourly pay, pretty impressive hourly I must say for a retail sales position. For anyone that has worked in the cell phone stores with me in the past, let me tell you this, this is far easier work AND better pay. Plus the goals/quotas are so easy/realistic that if you were able to do ok, not even great in any store that I’ve been apart of then you would crush it in this store. It’s a very fun environment, getting to geek out with many people that come in to buy things (other than desktops and PC laptops). And there are plenty of “pretties” that walk in the store every day. Something that is always good when you are still young and single.

Anyways, I need to get busy doing shit around here on my day off.
Peace
