Rant About Whatever

Every store specialist I have dealt with has no clue what they're talking about in their department. I was at best buy asking specific questions about a computer and the most the guy answered with was just generic stuff like, "Yeah, that's a fast enough computer for you." Ok, thanks, can you give me details? Are there better options??

Same goes for those so called "Experts at Scheels". I haven't interacted with a single store clerk who can answer specific questions on anything yet. I was asked by a manager if I worked there because I knew more info on their current ski gear than their "expert". And that was at their headquarters store...

When I was at Gander selling guns, I gave the customer every necessary detail, and answered every question with as much information as I could in order to steer them from a mediocre firearm to a much higher quality (and more expensive, ie. more commission) one.

If there are any ski dealers out there who want someone who can blow the socks off their customers with straight answers, hire me...or maybe I should run for office.

Yeah my homie works at Best Buy, he says he sells TVs and stuff but it seems like he doesn't have to know jack shit for the job but idk, my work sells furniture and sometimes I'm put in there and customers want some specific shit I can't tell them about. They never trained me for it, so maybe places do that but at a ski store it's more of a niche thing, you don't work there without at least being a skier.
 
This insurance enrollment is fucking bullshit. The comparison guide is a pdf and half the charts are sideways so I have to print this crap out.
 
Fuck this stupid tram haul rope replacement. Stupid project and everyone is pissed off and now it's cold and the special tech we brought in to help is an asshole

I work at wegmans which is a grocery store on the east coast. Comparable to whole foods. And i get questions about specific shit and 99% of the time i tell them i have no fuckin idea about shit here. I show up, put fuckin shit on a shelf, and go home. Super lame and shitty job but its money in my pocket and i make more doing that then i would waiting tables or whatever. But I guess if i worked at best buy i would definitely try and get as much knowledge on products as possible so i can help people out. But thats just because im interested in technology and not what tahini is used for.

I work at a Big Lots which is just home appliances, patio sets, furniture, decor bullshit etc. but people always come with some issue that doesn't matter whether specific or not they think I should know because it involves something we sell. I stock it and know some specific prices or features on certain things but not even my boss isnt an expert. I've learned in retail that people take the anger from the own problems out on you, I get yelled at by the customers than my boss for not asking if they have our stupid reward card. I don't generally give an attitude and usually just use humor to try and have good service but some people just deserve it cause they're getting mad at a 20 year old working in a shitty store.

definitely hyped to go back to school after this winter. Decided im gonna just dedicate one more winter to skiing and try and get as much out of it as possible then go back and hit the books hard. Realized im not getting anywhere working a shitty part time job and the fact that ill be 22 in the spring is really like wow..time flies. But im thankful i took so much time off school, really put life into perspective and ill be able to go back to school with a better mindset than i did when i was 18.

Fuck time flies.

Yeah I'm almost 21, not in school, and I work part time. Since I'm not in school and don't plan on it for at least a year or so I should be full time. Gonna try and do another east coast season with a long UT trip hopefully, but then I wanna get to salt lake by next year and live there while doing some community college courses and working, all my homies are out there besides 3 of us and I'm trying to be the first out of here.

Similar situation here. Got 3 homies finishing associates at home and want to pursue bachelors at the U. Gonna either do a semester here then transfer or just go to slicc and transfer to the U. HMU when you go out to Utah maybe we can link up. Funny we were both at snogression and never said what up to each other lol

Definitely gotta set my roots in salt lake before I'm 25. If I'm still I'm NY by then somebody shoot me

Yeah I shoulda said something there lol, hopefully the loon gathering can happen again though. But yeah dude hopefully I end up there,my homie says SLCC ain't bad, some girls and it's cheap with residency. I just need to build my bank up with more than like $180-220 a week, NH is wonderful but I wanna be in Utah or Colorado but no friends are there besides in Denver. My parents are all for me sending out there, and I wanna give them some peace since I'm still here with my brother about to move out.
 
My fucking legs especially my left still feel cramped up from my last flights. Did a 10.5 hour from joburg to london and 2 hours later an 8 ish from london to philly.

Maybe I'll go for a walk today today to try and make it feel normal. I have long as legs and get all tangled like a pretzel sometimes when I fly. I can walk fine and stuff but it just feels uncomfortable.

Sleeping on a couch thats shorter than me probably isn't.That said I'l be out of here in a day or two and head somewhere with a bed. That might be enough to do the trick.
 
Can't wait into Lindsey Vonn retires. Cunts like her shouldn't be in the sport. I wonder how many more times she will have to tear her gummy worms tendons before she quits.

Ask your mates out there about jobs. Or work at a ski area for a year to get a pass and income sorted before you move out. Then look into employee housing or ask people if they have/know of anything.

You say you don't really have friends out there but dude. If you were out there working and skiing you'll meet a shit ton of people. You'll have like 1 week where you don't really know anyone and then after that 100s.

If you wanna go just send it. I get the money thing, but if you could secuye a job in advance that can help a bunch to justify it. Then you can grab something else for the summer, find a better spot to live, better job, and you;ll know plenty of people to split rent with or get ideas for jobs etc.

Only in Colorado I don't have friends, one of my childhood homies is in denver but we just don't talk. My best friends are mostly in SLC and waiting very patiently for me to come out there, I can easily find work because since I'm where I wanna be I'll commit to making sure I'll stay, some resort connections but wouldn't be more than summer maintenance or being a liftie, but the free pass saves so much for me. I'm fine with an east coast season again because although I was alone, last year was pretty awesome. I also should probably get my car fixed or replaced before I'd go out, I'd be on a whole other schedule than my friends so I'd probably want one. The drive out there could be an ender for it though. I also don't have the money at least to start off for a month or two there, and will only have a room if I save enough to split it 3 ways.
 
Seriously someone kick the shit out of that boonk guy, that joker act he's pulling isn't funny or scary, he looks retarded spazzing out and making weird screech noises. I'd rather see him screaming "gang shit!!!" In a subway, it's just such shitty humor.
 
I seriously don't understand some customers, who the fuck comes into a Big Lots after 8 on a gorgeous Saturday night? I swear people just don't have lives. Every time I close I don't acknowledge customers after 830 until I ring them out or have some stupid fucking question to ask, even all my managers do the same. I still try to be polite but if they push me they're gonna get an attitude.

Shoutout to the fucking pill addict for calling out so she could have the whole weekend off while I now am actually scheduled to close again tomorrow. Please god let me pass this piss test soon so I can get out of work at 4:30 everyday and deal with less people.

Also fuck apples autocorrect, it helps at times but 90% of the time it fucks my sentence up.
 
It makes me very uncomfortable when i see people skiing park with there bindings wayyyy back

I didn't even realize I got stung anywhere else at first. I felt the lip and yelled "WHAT THE FUCK!!!!" and threw the lawnmower. Well more pushed the mower angrily away while cursing the world.

Damn bees got me good. Fuck them. Fuck them all.

I know they say the world depends on them but fuck the world, fuck the bees. If I finish the lawn here tomorrow and get stung again I'm going on a lifelong campaign to exterminate those god awful creatures.
 
Seriously fuck people that tailgate and drive like assholes in general. Like I'm already going five over and I'm not going to go any faster, give me a damn buffer so in case I have to hit the brakes your stupid ass won't slam into me from behind. Seems like every other driver in Washington does this bullshit.
 
First month employees will make mistakes, sometimes cause minor headaches for supervisors/managers but thats what new employees do; you work out the fucking kinks, learn, and become better.

Well not in the eyes of my front office manager. I made a few small minor mistakes recently and tonight she basically threatened my job saying she might have to switch me departments or outright fire me. Shes been on a warpath, too. She also fired my co-worker today on the spot for some grievances. It was a back and forth ordeal where he actually expressed his frustration with the management and her as a whole and she went ahead, reported him to HR, and got him fired.

Im honestly extremely dissapointed and upset that this opportunity I thought was going to be awesome is turning out not to be, and its not even ski season yet.

Its an entirely different mindset to approach things with a "trying not to get fired" feeling vs. actually wanting to do a good job for the sake of kicking ass at your job.

What the fuck.

i love the cottonwoods but i do yearn for a change of pace, a new place, and new mountains to shred. Its not off the table, but in time i need to further explore the west more.

Its just a shame man how some shit can ruin what seems to be an awesome opportunity. Now im in a fucking real bind. I moved out and finally dealing with real shit as a adult in both terms of work life and relationships and its just hard man. Sometimes I just want to fucking go, pack my truck up with gear and food and shit and just run till theres no end, you know?

Tahoes on the list and believe me, Ill be visiting you tahomies one way or another.

His boss sounds like a dick in general, stop pinning woman who are sincerely assholes on PMS. That's ridiculous, outdated, and a lil bit sexist. PMS isn't an average thing like most woman, belive , it's a medical issue that is taken far too lightly. Mood wings happen, but that intense of a thing shouldn't be chalked up to speculation.

Theron, I'm sorry your boss fucking sucks. Good luck dude.
 
Thank god im leaving this place, second time this week this fucking girl called out and I've had to stay for her, mostly cause it's been nice out and she wants to get fucked up on her pills I bet. A 5 1/2 hour shift isn't that fucking hard to deal with our managers work double that everyday and do way more work.

People who watch shitty game shows and pretend to be smart to feel better about themselves.

IE: Yelling at the tv, yelling "ermahgerd they're like so liek dumb!!!!", not saying an answer and then "Oh yeah that one was liek SOO EASYY!!!"

I hate game shows in general but without all that stuff it's survivable. Stupid people that like to pretend to be smart are lame.

was basically told last week to avoid using constant ski/snow talk with guests because it doesn't represent a 4-star atmosphere.

What, trying to fucking relate to people that ski/snowboard at a SKI RESORT? Fuck I was encouraged to talk about skiing with people at the other resort I worked at where the clientele is in a different world of wealth compared to these people.

Holy shit.

All the stupid fucking facebook pages people follow. Ridiculous page name and dumb people that share every single post. I'm not sure how I haven't unfollowed all my friends yet. I feel like I unfollow several people every day, but more idiots keep popping up.

Then the bullshit sponsored ads trying to sell useless shit. "Here's some shitty watch we bought off alibaba!" etc.

Jesus fuck.
 
My roomates should be more clear as well. They said have rent by Saturday to cut a check to our landlord,. Not get it to me before 5pm on Friday before the bank closes and while I'm at work till 9. Now everyone's all pissed. I have the fucking money so just chill.

People just need to stop being stupid.

At my parents house the last 2 days. Dad is yelling in general about wheel of fortune. "He knew she would go bankrupt" "OMG HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW THAT PUZZLE?!?!?!?!"

Ugh. Half the time he doesn't even know the shit. Just yelling at the for being stupid and obviously he knew it.

Also trying to let the temp drop so I can finish mowing their lawn. Attempt 2 yesterday re pissed off the bees. I ran and didn't get stung. Mowed around where I thought the nest was and didn't get to close. Also mowed from the outside so I had the length of my arms, plus the mower as a head start.

Might need to chug another beer before finishing it. They done got me good the other day.

im honestly about through with this place, at least the department/hotel i work in specifically. If i can switch departments/lodges, that would be nice, but it needs approval from my manager who is this wonderful lady i keep posting about.

Just sucks because today I get written up for another small minor mistake after being talked too about not making these kinds of mistakes, so you focus and try your damned best to do a good job and make one minor mess up again and its met with consequence. Honestly you just cant fucking win any more and its infurating. i dont even know if the pass is worth it now. Im currently applying for different positions in a neighboring canyon so we'll see how that goes.

I'm not even sure why a business would be upset for something like their employees relating with customers, how are you suppose to act then? All I can imagine is being super scripted and dull to the point where customers are almost offended by your dullness.

I'm sure you said this before but where you work?

My parents said I should find myself work out west cause my mom works with a kid who's working at Alta this winter.
