My shift is so long I feel like Genghis Cohen!

[The Fake Shemp]

I'm doing 9 AM to 1:30 AM tonight for the stupid Dark Knight midnight launch.  Then back at it at 9 AM 'till likely 7 PM.

[Human Snorenado]

Yeah, that sure beats a desk job huh?

RETAIL AM FAIL.

[Great Rumbler]

Look on the bright side! With the falling price of gas, these long hours should net you enough pay to make it all the way home!

[Madrun Badrun]

I read that as "My shaft is so long I feel like Genghis Cohen!"

I am spending way too much time on the Bore.

Clearly you're not spending enough time at Evilbore, because things like that still upset you.

Doing what a man needs to do. Sacrificing personal time for the TDK launch.

I think he's just upset that the title was actually something else. I know I am. 

[The Fake Shemp]

i'm sorry to hear that. I worked there when i was younger. I worked at hollywood video also, briefly.

[BlackMage]

hey willco, where are you living now?

[The Fake Shemp]

I could've gotten a gig at Blockbuster, but I didn't like it and Hollywood gave me a bag full of money and some nice career opportunities.  The only downside is that my home store was a dump and the other stores I help out with are a bunch of retail management rookies.

[The Fake Shemp]

I live the in greater D.C. metropolitan area.  I'm down the street from RoboJ if I'm correct!

[muckhole]

Out of curiosity Willco, whatever happened with that dude who wasn't returning his vids due to the impending rapture? Were you there when he came back?

[BlackMage]

no but seriously willco if you come back down let me know. we can hang out

[Bocsius]

I've put in 11 hours today, working the last 3 from home. At least it wasn't all at the office.

[drew]

but I didn't like it

why

[The Fake Shemp]

Didn't like the field management I met with and I didn't quite care for the company direction.  At least Hollywood Video knows the rental business is a dying industry and is propping up their game side sales.

True story from last night:

I went to grab a bite to eat and a small terrier came out of nowhere.  She started jumping all over me.  When I tried to pick her up to take her out of the freezing temperatures, she yelped - as if she was in pain.  But then she followed me back to my store, so I took her in so she wouldn't freeze.  I kept her in my office and found the owner information on her leash and contacted the owners.  One of them eventually came and they were reunited.

But had I not been forced to stay late, I would've never left the store and the shopping center was empty by that time.  Maybe it was fate that I stayed late, so I could find this lost dog.

Dark Knight is the biggest movie of the past 10 years. My home store did a couple hundred dollars of revenue midnight alone.

I was too drunk to participate in the Dark Knight love spree last night.

I turn into an evil person when my shift goes past 8 hours

[Reb]

Hour no. 10 and counting here.

In about 10 hours I will be up again catching a flight to London, to repeat the same schedule there. God, I love working on a laptop, so much productivity!

[Reb]

I make so much money, and I barely get to spend it because they are paying my meals.

[Mr. Gundam]

Dark Knight is the biggest movie of the past 10 years. My home store did a couple hundred dollars of revenue midnight alone.

So at $20-$30 a pop, you sold what, 8-10 copies?

[Reb]

I spend all my money on food.

Life on the bottom  :'(

Rebiak hire me.

I gotta let some people go...

It was mostly rentals at $5 a pop.  I think I sold off seven of my pre-orders, all Blu-Ray for $30 (DVDs are $20).

Just got home an hour ago.  13 hour shift today.  And my DM wants me to come in on my day off this week.  I'm looking at a 70 hour work week. 

[TakingBackSunday]

Retail blughhhhhhh

[The Fake Shemp]

And I didn't even have the balls to ask this chick out today that I've been swooning over for weeks now.  And she even called me yesterday.  And I spoke to her at home today.  I suck.
