I'm Still Alive. (Also, Work News)

[Domino-chan]

Yeah, I'm hanging in there. I haven't been around much due to mi familia's suckass internet. I hope they get a better plan soon because I miss torrenting everything. Other than that, I've settled into Houston and got a job with the state's giant liquor chain. I don't work past 9:30pm and I'm guaranteed Sundays off.

I've been working there for a little less than 3 months, and they want me to be in charge of the water section. This means I'll be responsible for ordering and organizing the bottled water, soda, juices, and quite possibly the frozen foods we carry. It sounds pretty mundane but this place sells all kinds of stuff like Jones, Dublin DP, Virgil's, etc. So while it's not the beer section like I wanted, it's definitely a good start.

So yeah... wow.

Glad to hear the good news domino!

It's Spec's, and it's EVERYWHERE. At least in Texas.

We carry Bawls at my store. In fact, one of my co-workers said she'd disown me if I stopped ordering it.

Are you in Austin or San Antonio?

Houston, actually. I'll be here a while, or until my debt is paid off.

Oh I, oh, hey, I, I, oh, hey I, oh, hey...oh...
Take Care!

Whoever does the candy section is doing a great job. I might go crazy next time I visit (the Specs is walking distance from Planet Zero).

 

[abasuto]

Good to hear everything is working out.

You should speak with upper management about Rot being the company's spokesman. Half a bottle in him and he's good to go.

 

[rarehero]

Transfer to austin.
I need an alcohol connection.

 

[Hidden Character]

Here's to you, chica!

What do you guys charge a bottle?

 

[Domino-chan]

What do you guys charge a bottle?

I want to say it's just under $2 a bottle, but I'm probably way off.

Also, one of my managers suggested me for a receiving position. The receiving guy is moving to the sales floor and now I'm in the running to take over. I'd pretty much be responsible for the entire store's stock. No pressure, right?

If they put you in that position
One, they want you for a reason, don't doubt yourself.
put the same confidence they have in you as you do in yourself.
Two, they'll give you guidance for something like that.
If not, look at sales trends, know the busy events like the superbowl,
New years, etc and plan accordingly.

It's still pretty overwhelming, but I'll give them my best if I'm chosen for the position. It'll be new territory for me, and I do like me a challenge.

If not, I'm still happy with the new responsibilities with the water, etc.

You need to get a place soon. If I can't find work out in LV, I'll have to head out that way and see if I can get hired on out there. Stock shit like a boss.

 

[Decepticreep]

Hey D-Chan!. I'm glad you're doing well.

 

[Domino-chan]

I'll be at my dad's place for a while, or at least until I can get my debt paid off. If the receiving position pans out, I'll (hopefully) get a big enough raise for me to get a car and out on my own. There's also school in my future, though there's a good chance Spec's will pay for a good chunk of that.

My store isn't hiring at the moment, but there are enough stores in Houston that always need new people.

I'mma second this, if only for St. Arnold's Root Beer.

If you can't find a job at LA or Las Vegas, Houston probably won't pan anything out. At least you have family in California.
