Pre Black friday jitters

Authors seem so important when they are famous and live in their big houses and seem to be full of ideas but they all come from somewhere. I come from retail. I have done my duties as a secratery ( hated it ), a baker ( it was okay ), a teachers assistant ( best job ever ! ) and as a specimen processor in a lab. It seems so glamorous now comsidering where I am now to just sit on my computer all day and know that tons of people think of me as important but it occured to me today that its unneccessary to put celebrities on these giant pedestals. I am important now, at my job at home and really nothing will change other than having disposable income so that I can buy crap that I don't ever need. I may even keep my job at Best Buy ( best employer ever for a big box company ) if I get published just because I know if I had my way I would become a recluse and never see the world again. Don't get me wrong I despise working retail and feel as if it is sucking the soul right out of me but I love it too. There are certain customers that go out of their way every week just to come in and say hi to me. There is a mom that comes in every couple of weeks with her young son because she can't afford a console of her own and he just sits and plays and she chats with me. It makes my day to see the smile on that little boys face as the game starts and he is immediately transported into another world. I would miss out on those things if I lived in my mansion in the middle of nowhere with no neighbors and no outside contact. I think my creativity would dry up and not only wouldn't I be important anymore but I would become even more strange than I am right now. Now it is late and technically Thanksgiving so I hope everyone has a great thanksgiving and hopefully soon I will have more followers for this blog. So for the two people who follow me one of which is sitting right next to me have a great holiday!

  2. I've been considering applying at Best Buy! I have a few friends who have worked at different stores in the Sac metro area, and nobody's complained excessively about it, haha. :-P

    Happy day after Thanksgiving!

  3. Best Buy is a great place to work. It really is better than any other retail. My biggest complaint is the customers who are just plain abusive because they in their heads see themselves as better than a retail employee. Other than that its great.
