<div class="IPBDescription">Yes, I am finally done.</div> Alrighty, today is my last day at work, and since it is I have decided to do everything that I have always wanted to do with the toys here.

So.. first up are some camera phone pictars. We are currently having one hell of a rain/thunder/lightning storm, and I love it.

All of those were taken with a sprint 7400 camera phone. :-)

I need some more ideas of what do with the toys we have here... remember I have access to everything that one can play with. :-)

*edit1*
Co-worker came in, so we took a pictar. :-)

Meet cheetodawgwa, yes he does post on the forums a bit.

    ok take a video camera:

    place it so it can view over the counter and see the customers turn it on

    now go do something that really offends people, and make them look funny.

    then post it here

    I would love to take a video but that would require me to take the camera home as I would have no way to transfer it. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Negative on the Vex, as I only have the power pack at the moment.

    On that note.. I loaded windows RG onto the internet center computer... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Its not that fact that RS is bad, they are far from bad, however the people that come in and continually try to destory you with systematicly high blood pressure questions even after you explain to them in laymens terms what everything means really gets to one after a while. Anyone who has worked in customer service/retail knows to what I am referring.

    I know you're departing RS with mixed emotions. Best of luck in your pursuit of a new career. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Ah good ol' customer service... really it just makes you a more violent person.

    That is probably the nicest thing you have ever said ever. To me at least.

    For that, and since I am in such a wonderful mood, you are forgiven for all your past transgressions, and even the white text.

    However, you are still an old man. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    How much does one make at Radio Shack? It has to be better than what one makes at a non large chain type movie theater, sweeping popcorn.

    Thank you, sincerely, and you are likewise forgiven.

    In actuality I am, but relatively speaking, I am far from it. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Well Caboosey, if one works at a Y store (one that makes 500,000/yr in gross profit sales).

    Then, it goes like this.

    Base federal minimum wage: 5.15
    Plus the incentive: 5.40(after a year)
    Plus if you sell at least 80/hr for each week you get commison on your sales, like so;

    7.5% on high commission items, (batteries, accessories, and wireless)
    5.0% on medium commission items, (Brand name, sony, onkyo, logitech, and etc.)

    So.. if one is to use this as a guide.. lets say you do make the comission barrier.. and sold 1500 in high commission and 2400 in medium commission sales.

    You would make.

    1500 * .075 + (2400 * .05) = 232.50 + (80hrs * 5.40) = $664.50 Before taxes are taken out. That isn't counting Spiffs that you get with various products, (Dish, wireless phones, and service plans.)

    Caboose, don't you dare even consider giving up the theater job already! You start job hopping and no one will wind up wanting you.

    Of course, if a position opens up at the local Home Depot, go for it! And buy their stock, all you can get. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Parttime and RS doesn't pay worth the hours you put in.

    If you are going to buy ANY stock.. Cigna is the one to buy.
  • SkySky Join Date: 2004-04-23 Member: 28131Members
    Buy Google stock. Get in early, before they take over the world.

    I only mentioend HD stock as it's discounted to employees, and they take it right out of your paycheck. I doubt one would get rich form it (like many of the old timers did) but it's still solid, <b>PLUS</b> ... with hurricane season in full swing, it's guaranteed to go up over the next few weeks. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Yes Cigna is good.

    God I'm **** I didn't get a loan or something and buy 100 shared... :X


    Oh and Cyndane, your radio shack is the classiest one I've ever seen. It actually looks like a retail store! All the Radio Shacks here in Oklahoma look more like a retail store, from 1972...
  • MalkavianGirlMalkavianGirl Join Date: 2005-06-16 Member: 53967Members
    Yes, I would have to agree that the store looks good... thanks to the great employees that work here. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
