So I've moved to a new job and it's interesting to say the least. I am now working at The Source aka RadioShack. everyone around me kept saying "with you background in tech you can do that easy". I'd like to say that I've proved them wrong but I can't.

I didn't think that I could do the job but I never go into something without giving it, well, aleast most of what I've got. as it. I have made plenty of the normal mistakes that are normal for a newbie and came up with a few new ones but they are still saying that I could get real good at it. That coming from the guys that I am working with, that is something. Don't know what yet.

That is the one thing about these guys. While I'm am only training with them, my to be "home store" is across town, they treat me just like one of the group. Not a good thing all the time. The things that they do and say to eachother in the course of a single day is more then enough to have all of them fired and charged by the company policies and the law. Most of it is done in good fun but it's all very crass and rude.

I got to do one a my training days at my home store. They just had a fire there. A month ago someone set the place on fire. As it would happen, the day that I was there was the day that they recived thier new stock shippment. That brings me to the two that I will be working with. I only really had time for first impressions.

First is Bill. Seems like something of a gentle giant. Big guy. We recived 140+ boxes on the shippment and he moved most of them himself. Me only being able to lift 1 or 2 boxes at a time to his 2 or 3 at a time.

The other one, and there are only two working that whole store, is the manager. Her name is said "hon-na" though I am not sure of how she spells it. A beautiful little redhead who has a simalar background to mine in the arts. Started on stage at the same age of three and stayed there. She didn't stay long that day but long enough that I know we can get along on a personal level.

On a business level I am not sure. After we unloaded the truck, I start to oganize the front counter. Side note: this place is a mess and not just from the fact there was a fire there ethier. From the fact that there is only two of them and that nither of them seem good at "keeping house", the store is in a poor state. Anyway, I cleaned up what I could with the remaining time. Didn't get to far, due to the size of the task. So the next day, back at the training store, she calls up and asks why I left such a mess. Needless to say we're already at odds about how the store is kept.

I think that the funny thing about me being at that store will be is that I am the old man there, such as it is. Both of the other two are behind me by a year. I'm not complaining about working under someone that is younger then me. After all, I am a sucker for redheads.

So that's an update on me. I've rolled over myself from daytime fulltime to evening part-time at McDonalds and I'll hold onto that till I am sure that I can do this new job. Who know? Mabye I'll be good at it and have a date for my sister's wedding in a month

Most of them show some ablility for acting at some level. Others just like the part that they have. Then the remaining one just doesn't seen to know why he's there.

I remember the good old days with the old gang that we had for making these shows. Everyone love it and did everything that we could to make it happen. When it came time for the Christmas Service, we would have them rolling in laughter, cry with sorrow and in the end saying Amen for our, always at the end, clear picture of the chirstmas story.

We have the script, but I feel that we need alot, and I mean alot, more time before we could bring them the same level that we had in the past.
