What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[darsparx]

I just wanted to add that it's not THAT serious of an issue for me right now, just venting my current frustrations. I'm sure that eventually I'll have everything settled. Of course I have a spreadsheet with all customer's information, most of the these people are not customers. I give my Paypal and mailing address almost immediately after communicating with anyone which I should probably stop doing as I never thought it was implied that a deal was settled before the discussion of such. I found a few people yesterday who read my thread, if anything I'll just return to sender and keep receipts. This is just about 10 packages though , not a huge pyramid scheme or anything, I have to stress that. Some of these are from other forums too probably, same situation though. No need to worry, honestly. I made a huge deal out of it and caused some unneeded paranoia apparently.

Thanks for the suggestions.

As long as you get it sorted out that's all that matters (honestly though good idea to keep address to yourself until the deal is finalized and so you don't get random stuff again)

- side note it's inventory for the past week and because of the "try and make as little back stock as possible" routine they had me in before that it made everything a pain in the butt especially the stupid cat cans(fancy feast, friskies, etc). I try to straighten it out when I have the time, but honestly that section is a part that needs an entire night devoted to taking everything off the shelfs organizing it and putting it back in the right spot(I know I didn't get it all done before the store director finally just told me i could leave). Definitely more of a reason to make sure I stay in college, finish it and maybe get a certification or two

Ive had the gamut of home theater setups over the years - From high end pro audio to htib (no soundbars yet). And what jp1 said at the end of his post is the most important thing: if it sounds good to you, that is all that matters.

No doubt. That wasn't meant as a disclaimer. I realize the rest of the post might come off as a bit of "This is the way!" and I don't think that at all. I just wanted to share for anyone that might be curious because I have done some expensive trial and error and some time consuming research. In the end though, whatever totes your goats is all that matters. It's like telling someone there is a right cologne or a right way to game...it's a hobby, nothing more and there is no "right" way to do it.

I will say though, never use super expensive speakers for records as your main towers for your movie theater. People will get mad at you. But damn it, those KLH Model 9s looked awesome flanking my tv.

I keep getting packages with consoles that I'm supposed to modify, but a lot of people seem to think that it's okay to send the package months after paying for the service or even before a deal was worked out and paid for.

Now I have a bunch of random consoles and packages that I have to figure out who owns what and what I'm supposed to do with it and half of the people don't ever speak to me again as they were new members to begin with and never log back into the site.

I have some stuff from several months ago that hasn't been claimed even after contacting them through several different outlets. Do I just sell this stuff or what?

Not sure where else this frustration would be relevant or have an answer for.

Free consoles amirite?

Thanks for the suggestions.

Sorry if any of my stuff came off kind of preachy or dry. I always put way to much thought in to business issues. Kind of used this scenario to come up with my own policies should I ever bump into a similar situation .

I keep a spreadsheet for my BST thread for tax purposes just in case the IRS tries to audit me one day.

Just don't go to H&R Block and you should be fine.

I usually do my own taxes with a little assistance from my Mother who has been doing our family's taxes for years. We mainly use Turbo Tax anymore so no worries about some genius fudging us over. If you want a job done right you have to pretty much do it yourself anymore .

Would never even approach a H&R facility after the situation they put Luke in a while back. They sound like a bunch of ass clowns.

Anyone see this video of drag queen Coco Peru playing Grand Theft Auto 5?

Both Metal Gear Solid 5 games are coming to Steam it looks like

Now I have no reason to buy a console for quite a while.

So I'm probably done with my job. You guys have seen some rants and I'm still at the same place, the volcano finally went off. Snapped at two people who had it coming. I was inches away from walking out yesterday but somehow managed to stick around and finish the day out... closing by myself because the boss has continually failed to change the schedule around or give people notice ahead to plan better, in comparison there's about 4 closers in our department per night outside of Tuesday. And that wasn't the first time I've done that alone. They just kept dumping more and more responsibility on me, for nothing in return. Completely unappreciated and taking advantage of. I'm pretty sure I basically had a panic attack of sorts too, had to bust out my inhaler and today I feel like I was hit by a semi... I don't handle stress well as is. Broken promises of being promoted for over a year and half. Meetings turned into the same bullshit every few months, the entire department were practically begging for some materials we needed to better handle the load and the company continues to ignore it. Same excuses, again and again. We were supposed to upgrade our processing... last September, they even bought new computers. Finally, a year later, they admit it's not happening. What a joke. I witnessed numerous occasions of racial discrimination resulting in some coworkers being terminated. I'm not running away, I simply choose to be done with this.

I called today but am going to call in tomorrow and put in the notice. I don't know if I can hold back either. I was assertive as could be with my boss and others, by they continually choose to ignore the facts and play favoritism. Well, if X employer is that great, despite being the most worthless and biggest liar I've ever met, he can hold the company on his shoulders. It's an automated messaging system and I have no idea who gets it, but I seriously don't even want to filter myself. Finally get everything out and be fucking done with it completely. Probably not the best thing to do, but I'm not the fucking nice guy they think I must be. I'm not their bitch. I will not be the first person to jump ship, hell the entire team that was around when I started in 2011... only the few veterans who will be there forever are still around, nobody from my wave of people. They keep taking things away and not giving two shits about employee's, this is only the beginning.

Maybe this is a taste of corporate, but at least my tolerance will reboot when I find something else, hopefully asap. I'm not the risk taking kind of guy and wanted to plan out some kind of backup, but for my own sanity, mental and physical health, that place can fucking choke on it.

Fuck CVS Caremark. Second shitty job in this pharmacy field too.

DONE.

Vent here Xero, but do what you can to leave on a good note. As you already know your new employer will be speaking with your last one.

Best of luck.

[Bikeage]

Probably not the best thing to do

Experience speaking, leave quietly and tactfully. You have nothing to gain and possibly a lot to lose by spouting off unchecked. And do not mistake telling the company off as a release for your frustrations. They never gave a fuck in the first place, all it does is create more drama, and that is always a terrible idea.

[Xeogred]

True. I don't even know if I can go back and do two more weeks though. Ugh.
